The second step is to apply to the state board of plumbers. This application includes the results of your examination and a background check by the board to determine any criminal record or other issues that might make you unfit to work as a plumber in their state. If you sail smoothly, you will receive your license to practice as a plumber. The basic requirements of plumbing contractors include being 18 years and above, a valid driving license, and social security number. As regards professional qualifications, plumbing contractors need four years of full-time journey-level experience in the last ten years. You have to provide additional documents if they are required by law to prove that you are qualified for this position and endorsement from colleagues or any other contractor. You will sit for a test covering planning and estimation, finish planning installations, safety and service, and repair and remodeling systems.
