In addition to unstopping drains and installing bathroom fixtures, your plumber can hook up washing machines, dishwashers and gas appliances. He or she can also install gas lines and shut-off valves, add drains for HVAC units, install water-based heating systems and install storm drains. When you are choosing your plumber, get several estimates. Once you have narrowed the field, ask these questions:
-How long has he been in business and what is his plumbing specialty?
-Is he experienced with your type of project?
-Can he supply copies of licensing, liability insurance, worker’s comp insurance, and bonding?
-What warranties does he offer?
-What references can he provide? In addition to asking about work quality, make sure the plumber was tidy and respectful of the work environment.

Ranking third among the U.S. states in area, California has a diverse topography and climate. A series of low mountains known as the Coast Ranges extends along the 1,200-mi (1,930-km) coast. The region from Point Arena, N of San Francisco, to the southern part of the state is subject to tremors and sometimes to severe earthquakes caused by tectonic stress along the San Andreas fault. The Coast Ranges receive heavy rainfall in the north, where the giant cathedrallike redwood forests prevail, but the climate of these mountains is considerably drier in S California, and S of the Golden Gate no major rivers reach the ocean. Behind the coastal ranges in central California lies the great Central Valley, a long alluvial valley drained by the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. In the southeast lie vast wastelands, notably the Mojave Desert, site of Joshua Tree National Park
