Hiring a plumbing contractor in the Orlando metro area
Hiring a plumbing contractor in the Orlando metro area ranges from a same-day repair (water heater, slab leak, sewer line) to multi-day work like a repipe or a whole-home water filtration install. The directory below lists active plumbing contractors so you can compare and verify before you commit.
Florida homes built before the early 1990s are often plumbed with polybutylene, which is now widely failing — if your home is in that era, knowing which contractors do full repipes matters more than finding the cheapest service call.
How to verify a plumbing contractor's license in Florida
Look for license type: CFC — Certified Plumbing Contractor
Go to myfloridalicense.com, the official Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) portal, and use "Verify a License." Search by the contractor's business name, the qualifier's individual name, or the license number itself. Confirm the license type is "CFC — Certified Plumbing Contractor," the status reads "Current, Active," the expiration date is in the future, and there is no disciplinary or complaint history attached to the record.
"CFC" is the statewide certification. You may also see RF (Registered Plumber), valid only in specific local jurisdictions — verify the license type actually covers your address before hiring.
Why verifying matters in Florida
Florida law (§ 489.127, F.S.) makes it a third-degree felony to contract without a license on a project valued at $5,000 or more, or any size project during a declared state of emergency. Verifying licensure before you sign a contract is the single most important step you can take to protect your home and your deposit. Central Florida's hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, and unlicensed storm-chasing crews routinely move through Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties after a major event. Confirming an active state license — and an in-state business address you can actually drive to — keeps you out of that risk pool. A licensed plumber's bond and insurance is what backs you up if a connection fails and floods your home — an unlicensed handyman's promise does not.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Is the diagnostic fee credited toward the repair if I hire you on the spot?
- Will you give me a flat-rate written quote before starting, or is this hourly + materials?
- If this is a repipe or major job, are you pulling a plumbing permit and scheduling inspections?
- What is the warranty on the parts you install, and what is the warranty on your labor?
- If you cut into drywall or flooring to access a pipe, who is responsible for the patch and finish?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I know if I have a slab leak?
- Common signs in Central Florida slab-on-grade homes: unexplained jumps in your water bill, the sound of running water with everything off, warm spots on the floor (hot-line leak), mildew smell near baseboards, or low water pressure. A licensed plumber can confirm with a pressure test and acoustic or thermal location before opening the slab.
- Do I need a permit for a water heater swap?
- Yes — every Florida jurisdiction in the Orlando metro requires a permit for a water heater replacement, even a like-for-like swap. The permit cost is small and the inspection protects you from improper T&P valve, expansion tank, and venting installations that can be dangerous.
- Is tankless worth it in Florida?
- Florida groundwater enters the house warmer than in northern states, so tankless units run more efficiently here than the national average. The trade-offs are higher upfront cost, gas line or 240V electrical upgrades, and annual descaling because Central Florida water is hard. Ask the plumber to size the unit to your peak simultaneous demand, not just your square footage.
Real local numbers
Wondering what this costs?
We measured 808 repipes from City of Orlando permit records — the declared value of work on permits actually issued between 2023 and 2025. The median is $4,995, with the middle half of jobs between $3,870 – $6,770. Not a national estimate, and not a self-reported survey.
