Florida Plumbers and Backflow

What this record tells you

Florida Plumbers and Backflow holds Florida licence CFC056464, a CFC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered plumbing contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 1992, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 5% of the 483 active plumbing licences based in the Fort Myers & Cape Coral area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 34 years of continuous licensure.

Florida Plumbers and Backflow is one of 112 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Fort Myers, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2026. Florida licences renew on a fixed cycle, and a licence that is not renewed moves to delinquent status — which is why the expiry date matters if you are planning work close to that date. Confirm the current status on the state portal before signing a contract.
