Advanced Plumbing and Backflow Testing

What this record tells you

Advanced Plumbing and Backflow Testing holds Florida licence CFC1427919, 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 2009, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 32% of the 195 active plumbing licences based in the Melbourne & Space Coast area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 17 years of continuous licensure.

Advanced Plumbing and Backflow Testing is one of 15 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Merritt Island, 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.
