Richards Plumbing & Drain Cleaning

What this record tells you

Richards Plumbing & Drain Cleaning holds Florida licence CFC057401, 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 2000, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 10% of the 146 active plumbing licences based in the Ocala & The Villages area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2013. That is 26 years of continuous licensure.

Richards Plumbing & Drain Cleaning is one of 73 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Ocala, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2028. 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.
