We looking for a plumber to connect our washing machine, we don't hv the taps for it.
Finding a painter was reasonably easy - my hubby went to khalid bin waleed street, stopped the car, asked a few people "dihn dihn", and brought home two painters 
Now we hoping finding a plumber can be just as easy!
Where to find a plumber???

This time shout out "Sabbaak Sabbaak"
Actually it's much easier. Almost all areas have shops selling plumbing and electrical hardware. If your husband or anyone accompanying him can read Arabic, their shop placards read "Sabbaka and Kahraba" [Plumbing and Electrician]

Most freelancers are in hiding until the labor crackdown cools down, as TLL said best option is to go to shops that sell plumbing supplies and while buying something from them ask them if they know any plumber who can help you fix it. They always have a list of people whom they know or can call for you and you can take them home with you. It has worked every time with me.
