When you start planning a plumbing repair or project, one of the first things you should consider is the permit requirements. Many times homeowners think that permits are only necessary for major remodels and not for average small projects, but this is not necessarily the case. Many seemingly small plumbing projects must have permission from the county, so it's important to check local plumbing permit requirements before doing any work. If you plan to replace or modify your plumbing fixtures or plumbing lines, you'll need a permit.
Depending on the scope of the project, this may include adding new pipes (for example, a new sink) or replacing an old one. Next, we discuss why moving plumbing pipes can be so expensive and offer some tips for selecting the best plumber for your project.
