How we tag Plumbing work

Plumbing tags follow permit type and description language for water, sewer, drain, fixture, and related piping. Sprinkler and standpipe records stay on fire protection when that is what the permit says. A site may also be tagged HVAC or electrical when those trades appear in the same public record set.

Scoring and grouping are the same for every trade. Read the pipeline on Methodology.

Frequently asked questions

3 questions

Plumbing construction · Chicago permits
Q01
How does FieldFlowHub identify plumbing construction opportunities?
From the public permit. Water, sewer, drain, fixture, and related piping language in the City of Chicago permit type or description tags the grouped site as plumbing. We do not infer plumbing work from a permit that never mentions it.
Q02
Are fire sprinkler permits listed as plumbing?
Not automatically. When the permit is clearly fire protection (sprinkler, standpipe, fire pump), it is tagged that way. A site can still show both trades if separate permits support both.
Q03
Is the Chicago plumbing list a lead marketplace?
No. It is City of Chicago Building Permits open data, grouped into site-level opportunities. Source and retrieval date stay on every project. Water and piping language tags plumbing; sprinkler language does not.
