Yes. Most plumbing projects that involve modifying existing piping, replacing sewer lines, or working under slab/foundation require a permit by law in Columbus. It protects you from fines and ensures the work passes official inspection
Doing unpermitted work can lead to:
Failed home sales (work won’t pass code)
City fines or “stop work” orders
Having to redo everything properly (more expensive). We handle all permitting for you — legally and fast
In most cases, 24–72 hours. For emergency repairs, we can often start with same-day permit filing. We’ll tell you upfront what’s required and handle all communication with the city
We do. FixWithPermit coordinates all inspections and meets with city officials on your behalf. You’ll get notified when inspections are scheduled and when they’re approved
No problem. Our team specializes in code violation repairs. We’ll bring everything up to standard and ensure it passes inspection — the first time
In most cases, no longer than a few hours. We work in phases to keep disruption minimal. For whole-home repipes or sewer line work, we always coordinate in advance so you’re never caught off guard
We provide flat-rate quotes with no hidde fees. Permits and inspection coordination are always included. You’ll see everything in writing — no surprises
No. With FixWithPermit, you only pay after the work is complete and passes inspection. We believe in earning your trust first
Absolutely. We regularly work alongside general contractors, project managers, and HOA boards to ensure all plumbing is up to code and submitted properly
Yes. For urgent situations (leaks, blockages, breaks), we provide same-day emergency services — and we’ll still handle any required permits or inspection coordination afterward

Top-tier experience
