Detailed Information About the Connecticut Master Plumber Bond:

State license, town bond

Connecticut licenses plumbers through the Department of Consumer Protection. The P-1 unlimited plumbing contractor license covers all plumbing and piping work as defined in section 20-330 of the General Statutes. The P-2 journeyperson license has the same scope but only while the holder is employed by a licensed contractor. Narrower contractor licenses exist too, such as the P-7 for water, sewer and storm lines.

The bond on this page runs to the Town of Darien. It is posted by the plumbing contractor who takes out permits in town, and it sits alongside the state license rather than in place of it.

What the bond guarantees

The bond promises the town that the contractor will comply with the local requirements tied to permitted plumbing work in Darien. If the contractor fails to meet those obligations and the town is harmed, the town can claim against the bond. The surety pays valid claims and then recovers from the contractor, so the bond is a guarantee to the town, not insurance for the plumber.

Before you buy

Call the Darien Building Department to confirm the bond amount and whether the town uses its own bond form. Make sure the business name on the bond matches your DCP license record exactly.
