Frequently asked questions

Why are LSL replacement permits a goldmine?

Chicago and Philadelphia have federal mandates to replace lead service lines by 2037 and 2026 respectively. That's tens of thousands of permits each requiring licensed plumbers. PermitGrab surfaces every one daily.

Do you cover commercial plumbing?

What about sewer line replacements?

Sewer line permits are often emergency-driven (mainline failure). They're high-ticket ($8-25K) and homeowner is highly motivated. PermitGrab surfaces these as soon as the city issues.
