Questions
Hiring a plumber in Santa Clarita
What is the best way to find a good plumber in Santa Clarita?
Check three things before you book. Look the contractor up on the CSLB website (a plumbing contractor holds class C-36), read recent reviews with their dates, and ask for the price before any work starts. Plumbing By Kirk, Inc. holds CSLB License No. 821617, C-36 Plumbing, active through April 30, 2028.
Can I negotiate the price with a plumber?
You can always ask what a price includes and whether another part or approach would cost less. Ask for the price before the work starts, so you can compare it and decide before anything is done.
How do I avoid getting ripped off by a plumber?
Check the license on the CSLB website, get the price before work starts, and ask whether the job needs a permit. In the City of Santa Clarita a water heater changeout or a repipe needs one, and in the county areas of the valley a water heater replacement does too. Be wary of anyone who suggests leaving the permit out.
Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in California?
Yes. A water heater replacement needs a permit in the City of Santa Clarita and in the county areas of the valley, and the new heater has to be braced or strapped against earthquakes. Plumbing By Kirk, Inc. pulls the permit when the city or county requires one.
How do I check your contractor license?
Search 821617 on the CSLB website, or use the Check on CSLB link at the foot of every page. The record shows Plumbing By Kirk, Inc. with class C-36 Plumbing, current and active through April 30, 2028.
