Raider Rooter

What this record tells you

Raider Rooter holds Florida licence CFC1428914, 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 2013, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 40% of the 562 active plumbing licences based in the West Palm Beach area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 13 years of continuous licensure.

Raider Rooter is one of 43 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Delray Beach, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. George E Ahearn additionally holds 2 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 08/31/2028. 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.
