It is a process to become a licensed Master Plumber. First, you need to have verifiable experience in the field. Then you must pass the required exam(s) through the Municipal Association of South Carolina (MASC) that tests both plumbing knowledge as well as business management and law for commercial contractors. Finally, you can apply for the license and send in the necessary documents including financial statements or surety bonds, the license fee, and certificates of business registration with the SC Secretary of State’s office. Once approved for a Master Plumber License you can obtain business licenses with each city you work in and pull permits to schedule inspections. If it were easy, anyone could do it!
