Gatordrain Inc.

What this record tells you

Gatordrain Inc. holds Florida licence CFC1429199, 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 2015, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 60% of the 105 active plumbing licences based in the Gainesville area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2011. That is 11 years of continuous licensure.

Gatordrain Inc. is one of 6 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Alachua, 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.

• Confirm the name on your contract matches Gatordrain Inc. or its qualifying agent, Christopher Neil Basso.
• Compare at least three written quotes from other plumbing contractors in Gainesville.
• Confirm in writing that the contractor — not you — pulls the building permit.
