Los Angeles is home to 651 licensed plumbing contractors (C-36, CSLB September 2026) — #1 in California, about 10% of the 6,533 contractor licenses based here.

35% of Los Angeles's C-36 licensees hold more than one classification — most often B General Building Contractor (27%), C-10 Electrical Contractor (13%). Extra classifications can change how carriers rate your general liability and workers' comp, so list every license class when you quote.
Business structure: 50% sole owners, 47% corporations, 2% LLCs; median time licensed 15.0 years.
For plumbers, underwriters focus first on: sewer backup and drain-cleaning work; and gas line work and related fire exposure. See the full coverage guide for plumbing contractors for limits, endorsements and workers' comp rules.

Property damage your completed work causes is typically a completed-operations question. Some plumbing policies limit water damage or mold, so we compare that wording line by line.
