Report Unlicensed Entities Here
Plumbing work by unlicensed entities has become rampant. Since the Uniform Construction Code was amended to allow virtually any fixture to be replaced without a plumbing permit, unlicensed entities have conned their way into homes promising "cheap" prices and coersing unsuspecting homeowners into completing the neccessary permit application and leaving them open to liability and leaving them without the consumer protection provided under law by our master plumbers seal.
With the advent of the new Home Improvemnet Contractors Act, there has been a marked rise in the amount of "exempt applicant" permit applications as unlicensed contractors have homeowners apply and sign permit applications in order to perform the work themselves illegally. This deception puts the homeowner at risk and puts an additional burden on the licensed master plumber who already struggles legally to operate a business in the business climate of this state.

News!
December 20th 2007- Governor Jon Corzine today signed the Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Contractors Licensing Act into law. The bill, sponsored by Assemblyman Vincent Prieto originally passed unanimously in both houses was sent back by the governors conditionally veto for minor changes. After modifications to the bill, the New Jersey Assembly overwhelmingly passed the modified bill and sent it to the Senate for a vote who also passed the minor changes in the bill unanimously. The New Jersey State League of Master Plumbers Legislative and Code Committee were instrumental in seeing this bill become law.
The new medical gas certification bill is poised to become law by September. The Board of Examiners has approved the new rule proposal without changes and it will now go to the Office of Administrative Law to be put into legal language.

Public Notice..........Beware!
Handymen and contractors are now required to carry a home improvement contractors registration. Many are trying to mislead the unsuspecting public into thinking that this registration merits qualifications or competancy...it does not.THIS IS NOT A LICENSE AND DOES NOT REQUIRE THE INDIVIDUAL TO BE COMPETANT OR QUALIFIED! Only a Master Plumber is allowed to perform or advertise plumbing work in the State of New Jersey. In fact Master Plumbers are EXEMPT from the contractors registration requirements with regard to plumbing and gasfitting because of the unique qualifications and expertise that is needed to obtain a Master Plumbers license.

Ask The Inspector
Question: Is a low water cut-off required for a residential boiler?
Answer: No,the 2000 edition of the International Residential Code which includes the mechanical and fuel gas subcode sections for 1 & 2 family dwellings in New Jersey inadvertently missed the addition of that specific section when being compiled. Ok, now that you know the dirty little secret, do the right thing, be responsible and professional.........install them anyway. They are being put back into the new IRC edition and will be adopted again.
However, The International Mechanical Code 2003 edition which is the adopted mechanical subcode for the State of New Jersey for commercial applications does require that a low water cut-off be installed on all steam and hot water boilers.
