Hydroscout Central, Inc.

What this record tells you

Hydroscout Central, Inc. holds Florida licence CFC1428705, 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 2012, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 32% of the 148 active plumbing licences based in the Destin & Fort Walton Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 14 years of continuous licensure.

Hydroscout Central, Inc. is one of 21 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Freeport, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Earl Lucas Salzlein additionally holds 6 other active Florida licences in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

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.
