Questions about Cincinnati
Who supplies water in Cincinnati?
Greater Cincinnati Water Works draws most of its water from the Ohio River and the rest from the Great Miami Aquifer. Billing and water quality questions go to them. For leaks inside your home, a plumber is the right call.
Who do I call about a power outage or gas smell?
Electricity comes from Duke Energy Ohio and natural gas from Duke Energy Ohio. Report outages to the utility. If you smell gas, leave the building first and call from outside.
Do repairs in Cincinnati need a permit?
Many do, including most electrical, plumbing, heating and roofing work. Permits are handled by the Cincinnati Department of Buildings and Inspections, and the pro doing the work usually pulls them.
How do I check a contractor here?
Ohio licenses commercial plumbing contractors at the state level, and cities license residential plumbers, so ask about both. Ohio licenses commercial electrical contractors at the state level, and many cities require that license for home work too. Ask for license or registration details and look them up before work starts.
Can I use this if I rent?
Yes, but many repairs are the landlord's responsibility. Tell your landlord in writing, and check with them before scheduling work on the building.
We're a referral service, so the pro you speak with sets the schedule and the price. Ask your questions before you agree to anything.
