How plumbing licensing works in Colorado Springs

Plumbers are licensed by the state through the DORA State Plumbing Board: master, journeyman and residential plumber licenses for people, and registration for plumbing contractors. In El Paso County, plumbing contractors are also licensed by the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (PPRBD), which issues plumbing permits and inspects the work.

Colorado Springs is one of the few places in our data where active plumbing licenses outnumber expired ones (948 to 928). It also has 177 residential plumbers, a license that covers one- to four-family homes up to two stories above ground. That's fine for most houses, but not for a commercial building or a larger multifamily job.

Water heaters, gas lines, sewer repairs and re-pipes are the jobs where a permit matters most, because gas and sewer mistakes are the expensive ones.

What to ask for before you hire

You don't need to spend an evening on government lookup screens. Ask the plumber you're considering for their HomeProFax report. It puts the license record, any board discipline flag, permits on file and outside links on one page, with sources. A contractor with a clean record can share it in a minute. If one won't, that tells you something too.

Search any business name free on HomeProFax.com if they haven't shared it yet.

Winter plumbing calls in Colorado Springs

Frozen and burst pipes bring a wave of emergency calls every cold snap. Before you let anyone start:

Get the business name and ask for their HomeProFax report, even if you're in a hurry.
Get the price, or at least the hourly rate and trip fee, in writing.
If insurance is paying, don't sign over your claim to the contractor without reading what you're signing.
