Insured? Upfront Prices? What You Need to Find the Best Plumber

Trying to choose from all these various plumbing companies can be daunting at first at first. Everyone’s promising better service, but which ones really have what it takes to back that statement up? Keep these five things in mind before you start looking:

  1. Confirm they’re licensed, insured and preferably certified: One of the most important ways to make sure your plumber is a professional is by finding where they’re insured and licensed by legitimate organizations.Plumbers who go above and beyond may also 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. Ask about their policies concerning warranties or service guarantees: Many key plumbing services like maintenance appointments are important for keeping the warranties of your plumbing system active. Also, some plumbing companies offer their own warranties on new fixtures or other plumbing equipment. This demonstrates confidence and their ability to replace faulty equipment.
  3. Read reviews and testimonials from past customers: It never hurts to have a second opinion, and any reviews providing them are a great source of information. If you've noticed several reviews illustrate any concerning patterns, you’ll know it can be safer to look elsewhere.
  4. Carefully compare estimates: Once a plumber provides you a quote for the work you want done, your first instinct might be to make sure the estimate is too high. But any quotes that are significantly lower than expected could also be a red flag.A steep drop in pricing might be because the plumber will cut corners or other shady, cost-saving measures.It’s also important that the quote is based on an in-person inspection to review the problem themselves. If a quote comes over the phone, the full price tag at the end of the project could be far outside your expectations.
  5. Find 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? As an example, the plumbing technician should always be knowledgeable and courteous. At the very least, you’ll know the project will proceed smoothly.

But there are even more ways to confirm your plumber can deliver the best possible service. How quick are they with addressing your concerns? Do they help you understand why the problem showed up and keep you informed on how the job's going? And finally, the best plumbers offer solutions that endure. Proactive measures keep problems from happening in the first place, which means a more effective and cost-effective plumbing system.
