What PlumberCalifornia is
PlumberCalifornia is an independently operated referral service. PlumberCalifornia is not a plumbing contractor, holds no contractor license, employs no plumbers and performs no plumbing work. Every job arranged through this site is performed by an independent, separately licensed professional who contracts directly with the homeowner.

Who you are actually contracting with
When you call the number on this site, the call is routed to an independent licensed plumbing professional or to a partner network that routes it onward. Your contract, your invoice, your warranty and any dispute are with that professional — not with PlumberCalifornia.
Before work begins, ask for the license number and verify it yourself. The public register for California is published by Contractors State License Board (CSLB) at https://www.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/CheckLicenseII/CheckLicense.aspx.
How this site is paid
PlumberCalifornia may receive compensation from a partner network or from a contractor when a homeowner connects with a professional through this site. Compensation does not change the price the contractor charges you, and it is not a fee you pay. See the advertising and compensation disclosure for detail.
