    West Virginia plumbing FAQ

    How do I check a plumber's license in West Virginia?

    The West Virginia State Fire Marshal licenses plumbers.

    Do pipes freeze in West Virginia?

    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 West Virginia water hard?

    Generally moderate, 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.

    Census estimates for West Virginia put 33% of homes as built before 1960, 24% from 1960 to 1979, 25% from 1980 to 1999 and 18% in 2000 or later. Older homes are more likely to have galvanized supply pipe and cast iron or clay sewer lines.
