Find a plumber for what exactly?
Plumbers, like any other tradesmen, are often better at some things than others.
Some plumbers are geared toward Emergency Plumbing Services. They can Unclog Toilets, and offer Drain Cleaning Services (using a rooter, snake, or cable) Even the most inexperienced plumbers can offer these services adequately. Don’t confuse the ability to show up at your door 24/7 with a quality plumber that can perform more sophisticated work. After all, you wouldn’t usually have a tow-truck driver overhaul your engine.
Then there are plumbers that focus on plumbing installation. This could be shower and bathtub installation, water heater installation, garbage disposals, water filtration units, running new water lines and gas lines, or maybe you just need the best toilet installer for your luxury bathroom.
If you are moving into a new home, you’ll want a full plumbing inspection. If you are a business owner you need commercial plumbing services. And if you are building a new unit or adding a bathroom or kitchen, you’ll need a remodeling plumbing contractor.
For all these services you should follow the steps below to find recommendations, talk to friends and check references.

Some plumbers build and maintain large commercial buildings like office towers and shopping centers. That’s not me.
Find A Plumber By Checking Online Review Sites
Reputable online review sites are certainly the modern way to check a plumbers reputation. Often plumbers will steer you to the one most favorable to them. Look for a plumber who has a stellar reputation on all the sites like HomeAdvisor.com, Angi.com (formerly Angieslist), Yelp, and Google.

ALWAYS check with the California Contractors State License Board to be certain that any Plumber you choose is licensed and properly insured. This protects both you and the plumber should any issues arise.

Find A Plumber By Checking Their Qualifications
How long has your plumber been in the business? NOT the company – the individual plumber. Some plumbing companies have been in business for many years but the owners send out apprentices. ASK about the experience of your plumber. Ask about their experience doing your particular project. Ask about their experience working in luxury homes.

Find A Plumber By Checking Their References
The standard advice is to ask each plumber you are considering for a list of references. Of course, they will all give you only their happiest customers. I never understood why this is recommended so often. An easier (and probably more reliable) way to do the same thing is to ask on NextDoor.com Look for a plumber with lots of 
‘s. BUT be sure the reviews are for the individual plumber who is coming to your home. Since Marin Plumbing is a one-man shop, ALL the ‘s are for Brian.

Brian’s #1 helpful hint – Tip of the day
One of the best (and least utilized) ways of establishing a relationship with a plumber is to have them come out for a Plumbing Maintenance visit.
