A few questions before you call anyone
Do plumbers need a licence in Ohio?
Yes. Ohio licenses plumbing contractors through the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board, and the City of Dayton requires permits for most work beyond simple repairs. Ask for the licence number and confirm who pulls the permit.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Sewage backing up, no water at all, a burst line, or water you can't shut off. Slow drains, a dripping tap or a running toilet can wait for a scheduled visit. Every plumber above except Ed Rike's daytime desk lists 24-hour availability.
How much should a plumber charge just to show up?
Most charge a call-out or diagnostic fee, and practice varies on whether it's credited against the repair. Ask when you book — it's the single question that most often prevents a surprise on the invoice.
