Whether a backed-up drain, clogged toilet, or a water heater on the fritz, plumbing issues are, often, unexpected, and quite inconvenient. When plumbing problems happen, finding a professional plumber is your best bet. But out of all the plumbing companies, which one should you call?
When choosing a plumber, knowing what to look for will ensure that you hire the best plumber for your residential or commercial plumbing needs. Following these tips will make the process much easier.
10 Tips for Choosing the Best Plumber
The first step to hiring the best plumber is finding a plumbing company that can provide the following:
Credentials
First and foremost, a plumber must be licensed and insured. Most states require plumbers to accumulate a certain number of hours of on-the-job training before they can test and receive a license. Plumbing companies in Colorado are required to hold a Master Plumber’s license to perform plumbing services. A professional plumbing company will also carry adequate insurance to safeguard its employees and customers from catastrophes.
Experience/Reputation
A plumber’s experience and reputation go a long way in proving that he/she has the knowledge and skills necessary to get the job done right. Research plumbers in your area. If a plumber has been serving your area for any length of time, it’s likely that he/she is trusted to provide quality work.
Background Checks
Before you have a plumber come into your home or business, make sure the plumbing company performs background checks. Having peace of mind that your plumber is professional and trustworthy is key to forming a long-term working relationship.
Plumbing Services
Plumbing includes a broad range of services. From cleaning drains to repairing a main line sewer, it’s imperative, that when hiring the best plumber, they will be able to perform the services you need, when you need them.
Pricing
Transparency is key when it comes to pricing. Professional plumbers will not only provide comprehensive estimates, but they will also be up front on how they charge for the job. Whether hourly or flat rate, acquiring information on pricing before starting a plumbing project will eliminate any “surprises” once the job is complete.
Warranties
Choosing a plumbing company that guarantees their work and offers warranties on their products and services is always a good rule of thumb.
Location
The location of your plumber is an important factor to consider. Most plumbers will service areas located within a certain vicinity of their plumbing company, which means they are familiar with the licensing, permitting, and plumbing codes within that vicinity. Choose a plumber that services your community to ensure quick responses and reliability.
Emergency Services
Plumbing emergencies happen, and when they do, you will want to know that your plumber can respond quickly to correct the problem. Confirm that you will be able to receive services when faced with an unexpected plumbing issue.
Professionalism/Communication
When seeking the best plumber, don’t hesitate to ask questions and get to know your potential candidate. Is the plumber professional and easy to talk to? Are you comfortable while communicating with him/her? Does the plumber provide clear and concise answers to your questions? A good rapport with your plumber is fundamental to a positive and successful partnership.
Referrals/Reviews
With information right at your fingertips, it’s never been easier to research a plumbing company. Check Google Reviews to see what other customers are saying. Ask the plumbing company for professional references. Talk with neighbors and friends to find out which plumber they recommend. This will help ensure that you hire the best plumber for all your plumbing service needs.
