Handyman or plumber: which tradesperson to choose for which task?
On Adom, the handyman & plumbing service groups both profiles under a single request, but some tasks clearly fall under one or the other. This guide helps you identify which type of intervention matches your need, so you can describe the right problem from the start of your quote request.
What a general handyman handles
A general handyman covers most everyday requests: furniture assembly, mounting a shelf or curtain rod, small electrical repairs (outlet, switch, light fixture), installing a rail or wall-mounted accessory, small finishing work. These are tasks that don't require specific certification, handled directly by a pro with a verified ID, a completed interview and checked references.
What typically falls under plumbing
Some tasks are more specifically linked to plumbing: replacing a seal or a faucet, fixing a minor leak, clearing a clogged sink or pipe, replacing a hose or a siphon. Most of these common interventions are handled without involving a third party.
When specific certification is required
For certain installations, certification is required beyond a routine intervention — this is notably the case for work related to gas or bringing an entire electrical installation up to code. In these situations, it is recommended to call on a certified professional rather than a general intervention.
The liability framework to know
Adom connects individuals with qualified tradespeople, but Adom does not guarantee the technical or regulatory compliance of the work carried out. Responsibility for the execution of the work lies with the tradesperson you choose.
How to describe your need well
Whether the problem falls under handyman work or plumbing, precisely describing the nature of the intervention (type of task, urgency, parts already identified if you know them) helps you receive a suitable quote and be matched with the right type of professional.
