Insured? Honest About Prices? What You Need to Find the Best Plumber

Trying to select the right professional between all these different plumbing companies can seem overwhelming at first. Each of these companies is offering better service, but which ones really have what it takes to back that statement up? Keep these key things in mind as you start your search:

  1. Find out if they’re licensed, insured and ideally certified: One of the most important ways to confirm your plumber is a professional is by making sure they’re licensed and insured by legitimate organizations.Plumbers who go above and beyond will also seek out certifications that demonstrate their competency. These certifications are vital when you need specialized services such as backflow prevention and testing.
  2. Check if they have policies concerning service guarantees or warranties: Standard services like maintenance appointments are important for keeping the warranties of your plumbing system active. Additionally, many plumbing professionals offer their own warranties on available plumbing products. This illustrates confidence and a willingness to replace malfunctioning equipment.
  3. Look for relevant reviews and testimonials proving their experience: many homeowners prefer to have a second opinion, and previous customers are a great source of information. When multiple reviews illustrate reasons for caution, 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, it's common make sure the estimate is too high. But estimates that are significantly lower than expected may be a sign of trouble.A huge gap in pricing could mean the plumber will use substandard materials or take other cost-saving measures.It’s also important 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 may be far outside your expectations.
  5. Choose 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 attentive to any of your concerns. When a plumber clearly makes your satisfaction the priority, you’ll be able to trust that the project will proceed smoothly.

But there are other 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 their progress? 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 economical plumbing system.
