Q: what if i was referred to a business to install a grease trap but my plumbing license was expired
i was an apprentice with the help of a licensed journeyman
A:
In Indiana, performing plumbing work without a valid license can lead to legal and professional consequences. It's essential to ensure your license is current before undertaking any plumbing projects, especially ones like installing a grease trap which require specific expertise.
If you were working as an apprentice under a licensed journeyman, the responsibility may primarily lie with the journeyman. However, it's important to clarify the scope of your role and the extent of your responsibilities in this situation.
You should consider renewing your license as soon as possible. Meanwhile, avoid engaging in any tasks that require a valid plumbing license. This approach helps protect you from potential fines or legal action.
In this scenario, seeking legal counsel can provide you with guidance specific to your situation. They can advise you on the best course of action and help navigate any complexities related to your apprenticeship and licensure status. Remember, staying within the legal boundaries of your profession is paramount for your career's longevity and reputation.
