What Schofield Barracks Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Schofield Barracks come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Installing and repairing fuel gas piping systems and their venting falls under the C-37 plumbing contractor classification, and plumbing contractors must use licensed plumbers for that work. Source: Description of Contractor License Classifications (Hawaii DCCA Contractors License Board)
In Hawaii, you can check a license with the Hawaii DCCA Professional and Vocational Licensing public license search or report a problem to the Hawaii DCCA Regulated Industries Complaints Office (RICO).
