Insured? Honest About Prices? Here’s How to Find the Best Plumber

Trying to choose from all these various plumbing companies can seem overwhelming at first. All these technicians are claiming to offer better service, but which ones really stand by their word? Keep these important things in mind before you start looking:

  1. Confirm they’re licensed, insured and ideally certified: One of the most important ways to make sure your plumber is a professional is by checking that they’re licensed and insured by relevant and local organizations.Advanced plumbers will also seek out certifications proving their high degree of competency. These certifications are vital when you need specialized services such as testing and backflow prevention.
  2. Ask about their policies concerning service guarantees or warranties: Standard services like maintenance appointments are important for keeping the warranties of your plumbing equipment active. In addition, reputable plumbers often offer their own warranties on the products they sell. This demonstrates confidence and a willingness to replace malfunctioning equipment.
  3. Find reviews and testimonials from past customers: it's always a good idea to have a second opinion, and a plumber's past clients are a great source of information. If these reviews illustrate reasons for caution, you’ll know it might be better to look elsewhere.
  4. Carefully compare estimates: Once a plumber provides you a quote for a potential plumbing project, you might first try and make sure the estimate is too high. But any quotes that are unusually low is also reason for caution.A A major difference in pricing might be because the plumber will use substandard materials or other shady, cost-saving measures.A key detail to ensure is that the quote follows an in-person inspection to review the problem themselves. If the estimate is just one from someone over the phone, the full price tag at the end of the project could be higher than you first thought.
  5. Prioritize plumbers that are known to respond quickly, 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, your plumber should always be polite and knowledgeable. At minimum, you’ll know the project will proceed smoothly.

But there are additional ways to make sure your plumber can deliver 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 endure. Preventive measures keep problems from happening in the first place, which means a more efficient and cost-effective plumbing system.
