From sewer pipes to floor remodeling, plumbers can take on many projects for homeowners, S&B Plumbing General Manager Hunter Edmunds said.

What should people consider when hiring a plumber?

The first and most important thing to consider is whether or not they are licensed [with] the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. Either the plumbers are a responsible master plumber or they’re working under the supervision of a master plumber.

What are some common plumbing mistakes people make?

A good portion of your plumbing takes place in areas that you can’t see. A lot of people go out and buy stuff without talking to a plumber or contractor. They will want us to put it in, and then we get there, and it’s not compatible with what’s going on behind the scenes of their house. It’s best to start the conversation with a qualified professional to make sure there are no overlooked details that could cost more in the future.


What are some quick tips to get rid of a clogged drain or toilet?

Have a plunger on hand. Aside from that, I suggest leaving it up to an expert. Trying to operate your own sink-clearing equipment can be dangerous, and you run the risk of causing damage.
