According to researches, in 2012, per square cost of plumbing in USA was about $4. It may be as high as $5/square foot in some states. If you have relevant license and experience, you can run the plumbing yourself and save up to 50% money.

The professional plumbers can charge something in the range of $75 to $150 per hour. Charges also depend upon the required job and complexity involved. Some factors that affect the plumbing costs are:

• Time required to complete the job, and time when it is needed to be done. Weekends, after work hour emergencies, and on holidays, it will obviously cost more. 
  
• Many plumbers and plumbing companies charge an upfront fee to show up. This fee can later be adjusted to the cost of the job done. 
  
• Lowest charging companies could be a trap. They may quote less amount for the job, but then charge you extra for “equipment fee” and other surprise charges.
