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

Trying to decide 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 ones really have what it takes to back that statement up? Keep these important things in mind when you're ready to compare:

  1. Find out if they’re licensed, insured and ideally certified: One of the most important ways to confirm that a plumber is a professional is by checking that they’re insured and licensed by the proper regulatory organizations.Advanced plumbers often have certifications proving their high degree of competency. These certifications may be required for specialized services such as the testing for and prevention of backflow.
  2. Check if they have policies concerning warranties or service guarantees: Standard services like maintenance appointments are how you keep the warranties of your plumbing system active. In addition, many plumbing professionals offer their own warranties on new fixtures or other plumbing equipment. This illustrates confidence and conditions in place to replace broken equipment.
  3. Find reviews and testimonials from past customers: many homeowners prefer to have a second opinion, and a plumber's past clients are a great source of information. If these reviews illustrate any concerning patterns, you’ll know it could be smarter to look elsewhere.
  4. Carefully compare estimates: When plumbers send you a quote for the project you want completed, you might first try and make sure the estimate is too high. But estimates that are significantly lower than expected is also reason for caution.A A major difference in pricing could mean 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. When quotes are only over the phone, the full price tag at the end of the project could be far outside your expectations.
  5. Find plumbers that are responsive, detailed and offering long-term solutions: A sense of professionalism is always important, but what should a “professional” plumber should be? For example, 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 additional ways to tell your plumber is truly dedicated to the best possible service. How responsive are they with addressing your concerns? Do they help you learn how and why the problem formed and keep you updated on how the job's going? 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 economical plumbing system.
