Ask around. Ask your friends, ask your neighbors and get referrals. Nothing is more powerful than the testament of someone who has had a local plumber in their home and can speak to his/her capabilities.
Choose a good contractor with both plumbing and construction skills who can work around tough problems because not all plumbing jobs go smoothly. Ask the contractor to see if he has met all of the city codes before in the past for your region.
Toilets have a shut off valve that is most often located on the pipe at the back of the toilet. In all cases look for a silver knob and turn it to shut off the water. A drain repipe professional can help you locate these valves if you encounter a problem finding the valve or want reassurance you are handling it correctly.
A Trustworthy plumber will answer all of your questions. Good plumbers will provide you with references, and tell you how long they have been a plumber, and the type of guarantee they provide for their work (warranty.) As well, a professional plumber will offer emergency service for nights and weekends. You should be able to make contact with him or her in a timely manner. A professional plumber will also have all of the appropriate insurance such as liability insurance so that you are protected in the event of an accident.
Your septic tank has to be emptied sometimes, and there's no easy answer to when it should be done.

Basically, if the septic tank isn't pumped out regularly, it will cause you thousands of dollars worth of problems. Ask your Local plumber for advice on your septic tank maintenance.
As precautionary measure, you have to tell all your tenants where their individual water shut off valve is located, as well as the entire building's so they can turn it off in case of emergency.
