Licensed Plumber in Sunnyvale, CA

Homes in Sunnyvale vary in age, and older galvanized or aging copper lines, root-damaged sewer laterals and gas appliances are the usual reasons to call a licensed plumber. Sunnyvale homeowners who need a licensed plumber can book on NorTech only an independent contractor whose California C-36 license has been checked against the state record, never someone who is still working toward one.

The license, and how we check it

California class C-36: Plumbing Contractor

California plumbing contractors hold a C-36 license. Any license number can be looked up on the state licensing board website, and we check status and expiry before a contractor can take licensed plumbing work.
