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

Trying to decide between all these different plumbing companies can feel like a slog at first. Everyone’s claiming to offer better service, but which plumbers really stand by their word? Keep these important 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 whether or not a plumber is a professional is by finding where they’re licensed and insured by relevant and local organizations.Advanced plumbers will also seek out certifications demonstrating this competency. These certifications are vital when you need specialized services such as backflow prevention and testing.
  2. Ask about their policies offering service guarantees or warranties: Standard services like maintenance appointments are important for keeping the warranties of your plumbing system active. In addition, reputable plumbers often offer their own warranties on new fixtures or other plumbing equipment. This demonstrates confidence and a willingness to replace malfunctioning equipment.
  3. Find reviews and testimonials describing past projects: many homeowners prefer to have a second opinion, and any reviews providing them are a great source of information. When multiple reviews illustrate any concerning patterns, you’ll know it can be safer to look elsewhere.
  4. Carefully compare estimates: Even when a trusted plumbing company can offer you a quote for the work you want done, it's common make sure the price is not too high. But estimates that are significantly lower than expected could also be a red flag.A A major difference in pricing could mean the plumber will cut corners or take other cost-saving measures.A key detail to ensure is that the quote is based on an in-person inspection 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 different than expected.
  5. Choose plumbers that are quick to respond, detailed and looking for long-term solutions: Professionalism is always important, but how can you know what a “professional” plumber should be? As an example, your plumber should always be attentive to any of your concerns. At the very least, you’ll be able to trust that the project will proceed smoothly.

But there are even more ways to confirm your plumber can deliver the best possible service. How responsive are they with addressing your concerns? Do they help you understand why the problem formed and keep you in-the-loop 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 effective and economical plumbing system.
