Special Television Investigation by WTHR on Unlicensed Plumbers

WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis investigates unlicensed plumbers.  Emmy award-winning anchor, Andrea Morehead, went undercover and featured a report on what can happen when using an unlicensed plumber.  Indiana PHCC member, Dave Nance, Nance Plumbing, was called in to diagnose the problem and show how a professional licensed contractor would handle the job.  Click here to see the video.  Consumers are reminded that anyone in the state of Indiana who is a plumber must hold a license.  That license is issued through the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency and the law says the plumber must carry the license with him.  Don't be fooled by advertisements that say 'licensed and bonded.'  Make sure that the person you hire to protect the health and safety of your family has the proper credentials.

Find the License

Are you tired of unlicensed “plumbers” working in our industry?  Are you tired of having a statewide license law with no bite?  Then let’s do something about it!!  Our PHCC has already made lots of headway with the “Hire A Licensed Plumber” campaign.  We have made more strides in the past few years than ever before but we can do more.  The professionalism of our industry rests with the license.  Click here to learn more about the FLAG Program.
