Missouri plumbing FAQ

How do I check a plumber's license in Missouri?

Missouri has no statewide plumbing license; cities and counties such as St. Louis and Kansas City license plumbers locally.

Do pipes freeze in Missouri?

Yes, during cold snaps. Pipes in crawl spaces, exterior walls and unheated garages are the ones that freeze. Disconnect hoses in fall and open sink cabinets on the coldest nights.

Is Missouri water hard?

Generally hard, based on national hardness mapping, but it varies by utility and by well. Your water provider's annual water quality report lists the hardness for your system, and a plumber can test well water.

How old are homes in Missouri?

Census estimates for Missouri put 28% of homes as built before 1960, 26% from 1960 to 1979, 25% from 1980 to 1999 and 22% in 2000 or later. Older homes are more likely to have galvanized supply pipe and cast iron or clay sewer lines.
