Licensed? Upfront Prices? This Is How You Find the Best Plumber

Trying to select the right professional between all these different plumbing companies can feel like a slog at first. Each of these companies is claiming to offer better service, but which plumbers really mean it? Keep these important things in mind before you start looking:

  1. Find out if they’re licensed, insured and preferably certified: The first way to verify whether or not a plumber is a professional is by checking that they’re insured and licensed by relevant and local organizations.Advanced plumbers will also seek out certifications demonstrating this competency. These certifications are vital when you need specialized services such as backflow prevention and testing.
  2. Check if they have policies related to warranties or service guarantees: Many key plumbing services like preventive maintenance can help keep the warranties of your plumbing equipment active. Additionally, some plumbing companies offer their own warranties on new fixtures or other plumbing equipment. This illustrates confidence and conditions in place to replace malfunctioning equipment.
  3. Read reviews and testimonials describing past projects: many homeowners prefer to have a second opinion, and any reviews providing them are a great source of information. If these reviews illustrate something concerning, you’ll know it can be safer to look elsewhere.
  4. Take the time to thoroughly compare estimates: Once a plumber provides you a quote for a potential plumbing project, your first instinct might be to make sure the price is not too high. But estimates that are unusually low may be a sign of trouble.A huge gap in pricing might be because the plumber will use substandard materials or take other cost-saving measures.It’s also important that the quote comes after the plumber has completed an on-site assessment to determine the scope of the job. If a quote comes over the phone, the full price tag at the end of the project may be higher than you first thought.
  5. You can trust plumbers that are quick to respond, detailed and committed to long-term solutions: A sense of professionalism is always important, but how can you know what a “professional” plumber should be? For starters, the plumbing technician should always be knowledgeable and courteous. At minimum, you’ll be able to trust that the project will proceed smoothly.

But there are even more ways to make sure your plumber is truly dedicated to the best possible service. How responsive are they with addressing your concerns? Do they help you comprehend why the problem appeared and keep you updated on their progress? And finally, the best plumbers offer solutions that last. Proactive measures keep problems from happening in the first place, which means a more efficient and economical plumbing system.
