Full FAQ
Do plumbers need a license in Georgia?

Yes. Plumbing contractors in Georgia must be licensed through the Master and Journeyman Plumbers division of the state's Construction Industry Licensing Board. Ask to see the license and verify it with the Georgia Secretary of State.

Do I need a permit for a water heater replacement?

In most Georgia jurisdictions, a water heater replacement requires a permit, often a plumbing permit plus a gas or electrical permit where applicable, and an inspection. Ask your plumber whether they will pull the permit as part of the job.

How do I compare plumbing estimates?

Ask each plumber for a written estimate that itemizes materials, labor, and any permit fees. Compare scope first and price second. A lower number that leaves out parts or disposal is not a better deal.
