License & Insurance Verified
We confirm current licenses before listing any plumber—and show proof live.
When you request service through BostonPlumbers.com, the plumber who accepts your job must be actively licensed and carrying general liability insurance. We pull license status directly from the state’s official portal before allowing them to join our directory, and we recheck quarterly. This prevents unlicensed contractors from slipping through gaps in older directories or social media listings where background checks are inconsistent or nonexistent.
Insurance verification is equally strict: we require a current certificate naming BostonPlumbers.com as an additional insured, and we validate coverage limits match or exceed state minimums. This protects you if something goes wrong on site—like accidental water damage to neighboring units—without putting you in the position of chasing a subcontractor’s personal insurer months later.
If a plumber’s license lapses or their insurance lapses between checks, we remove them immediately—not after a complaint, but as soon as the system flags an expiry. You’ll never see their name again unless they reverify. This real-time accountability helps prevent one bad experience from turning into a pattern, especially in neighborhoods where older homes have complex systems that demand expertise and responsibility.
