Champion Pipe Restoration

What this record tells you

Champion Pipe Restoration holds Florida licence CFC1431179, 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 2021, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 65% of the 136 active plumbing licences based in the Lakeland & Winter Haven area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2016. That is 5 years of continuous licensure.

Champion Pipe Restoration is one of 3 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Lake Wales, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Earl Vaston Keene additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence 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.
