Services like Consumers' Checkbook and Angies' List are good places to start when you are looking for a plumber. Remember though that there's no strong relationship between price and certain plumbing jobs. Prices among firms vary widely so get several bids and make sure you use a licensed plumber for your job.

We seldom think of plumbers except when a pipe bursts or leaks or the facilities just don't work according to plan. Then again, we might need a plumber to install a new faucet, tankless water heater, sump pump or to layout rough plumbing for that new bathroom or kitchen. Plumbers are also needed when you want to install a natural gas fireplace and hook up a gas range. And don't forget the plumber if you are installing a solar water heating system.  There are several things you can do to make sure you select the right plumber for your particular job.
