Handyman with some plumbing experience:
This individual likely has basic plumbing knowledge and can handle minor repairs and installations. Think leaky faucets, clogged drains, toilet repairs, or replacing shower heads.
They may not have a specific plumbing license, especially for complex tasks involving permits or code compliance.
It's crucial to verify their comfort and competence with the specific plumbing job before hiring them.
Licensed plumber with broader skills:
This individual holds a valid plumbing license, ensuring they understand plumbing codes, safety protocols, and proper techniques for complex tasks.
They can handle a wide range of plumbing needs, from minor repairs to major installations, water heater issues, and gas line work.
Some licensed plumbers may possess additional skills in areas like light carpentry, basic electrical work (per local regulations), or appliance repair, blurring the lines with a "handyman."
Here's how to choose the right professional:
Project complexity: For minor plumbing issues, a handyman with experience might suffice. For major projects or anything involving permits, choose a licensed plumber.
Licensing: Always check the licensing requirements for plumbers in your area.
Insurance: Ensure both handymen and plumbers have proper insurance coverage.
Transparency: Discuss the project details thoroughly and ask about relevant experience and expertise.
Remember: prioritize safety and choose a professional based on your project's specific needs and complexity. Don't hesitate to clarify their qualifications and experience before making a decision.
