The foundation of compliance is holding a valid Master Plumber license, which is recognized across the state, and ensuring that all plumbing installations strictly follow the Wisconsin Uniform Plumbing Code.
Before beginning any project, contractors must secure the necessary plumbing permits from the City of Madison. Failure to obtain these permits or to schedule mandatory inspections can result in stop-work orders, fines, and potential legal liability.
