I requested an inspector to review a bad pluming job to our new home. Bill was the best gentleman and he took time to visit, inspect and gather all the facts. They are taking action to have the unacceptable plumbing job corrected and he has given the plumber (Chris Beasley Plumbing) 60 days to change out the water lines and correct the many places where they sawed completely through our engineered floors.

To apply for the Journeyman Plumber exam, submit the Application for Journeyman Plumber along with the required fee; applications without fees will not be considered. Applicants must meet eligibility criteria outlined in the Arkansas Journeyman Plumber Study Guide, including apprenticeship or experience requirements. The exam tests knowledge of plumbing codes, installation, and natural gas systems.
Preparation for the Master Plumber exam involves studying the Arkansas Master Plumber Study Guide, which covers advanced topics in sanitary plumbing, fuel gas systems, and code compliance.

Exams are administered statewide, with reciprocity agreements available for licensed plumbers from states like Texas, Louisiana, Ohio, and Oklahoma.
Plumbing licenses must be renewed annually within 30 days of expiration; those expired over 30 days require reinstatement with sufficient justification and payment of penalties per §17-38-308. Use the Application for Plumber Reinstatement and online renewal payments for processing. The Department of Health supervises compliance with Plumbing and Fuel Gas Codes during renewal.
Licensed plumbers in Arkansas may work on plumbing components up to the wellhead but cannot break the well seal, alter, or drill into the well casing, as this requires certification from the Arkansas Department of Agriculture under §17-50-104. Violations can lead to criminal prosecution, civil penalties, and forfeiture of equipment. For water well licensing, contact the Department of Agriculture at 501-682-3900.
Plumbing plan reviews for public and private facilities can be submitted electronically via the online Plan Review & Submission Portal or by mail for quicker processing by the Arkansas Department of Health.
