Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a plumber charge per hour?
Plumbers typically charge $75-150 per hour for standard work, with rates higher for emergencies, weekends, or specialized work. Many charge a flat service call fee plus hourly labor.
Why is there a price range?
Plumbing jobs vary based on complexity discovered during the work. A simple clog might be quick, while a deep blockage requires more time. The range reflects typical best and worst case scenarios.
Are parts included in the estimate?
No, this estimate covers labor and service fees. Parts and materials are additional and will be quoted by your plumber based on what's needed for your specific job.
What qualifies as an emergency?
Emergencies include burst pipes, sewage backups, gas leaks, no water, or flooding. These require immediate attention and typically have premium rates, especially after hours.
Can plumbing companies customize this calculator?
Yes! Plumbing businesses can customize service categories, pricing, and add-ons to match their offerings and embed it on their website for instant customer quotes.
