What questions should I ask a welder before hiring?

• <div><p>There are a few things you can ask welders before you hire them to get an idea of their experience and ability levels:</p><ul><li><p>Are you licensed and certified?</p></li><li><p>How long have you been in the welding business?</p></li><li><p>Do you commonly do the type of welding I need?</p></li><li><p>Do you offer any kind of warranty for your work?</p></li><li><p>Do you charge by the hour or by the project?</p></li><li><p>How long do you expect my welding project to take?</p></li><li><p>What steps do you take to minimize errors in your work?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Are hot water heaters good for scrap metal?

• <div><p>Since water heaters are primarily made of metal, they’re commonly accepted by scrap yards and collectors. Don’t expect to fetch a high price, though—water heaters are mostly steel and aluminum, which aren’t high-value metals. Some components are made of more valuable metals, like brass and copper, but they’re a small portion of the heater and won’t affect the price much.</p></div>

Q: What is the best thing to cut metal pipe?

• <div><p>The best thing to cut metal pipe is a durable pipe cutter that is made for metal. You may want to measure the diameter of the pipes before purchasing a pipe cutter to ensure it will be able to cut your metal pipes. Opt for a heavy-duty option to cut through metal like steel or cast iron.</p></div>

Q: Do welders need to be licensed or certified?

• <div><p>Some states require welders to be licensed and certified, while others don&rsquo;t. However, it&rsquo;s always a good idea to hire a licensed welder, regardless of requirements in your area, especially if you need welding for structural components of your home or gas lines. Licensed welders have gone through training and testing to prove their skills, so they&rsquo;re less likely to make a mistake that could be detrimental to your home.
