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 feel like a slog at first. All these technicians are claiming to offer better service, but which plumbers really stand by their word? Keep these key things in mind as you start your search:

  1. Make sure they’re licensed, insured and preferably certified: One of the most important ways to verify that a plumber is a professional is by finding where they’re insured and licensed by the proper regulatory organizations.Advanced plumbers often have certifications demonstrating this competency. These certifications may be required for specialized services such as the testing for and prevention of backflow.
  2. Ask about their policies offering service guarantees or warranties: Many key plumbing services like maintenance appointments are how you keep the warranties of your plumbing equipment in good standing. Also, some plumbing companies offer their own warranties on new fixtures or other plumbing equipment. This illustrates confidence and their ability to replace broken equipment.
  3. Find reviews and testimonials describing past projects: it's always a good idea to have a second opinion, and any reviews providing them are a great source of information. If you've noticed several reviews illustrate reasons for caution, you’ll know it can be safer to seek alternatives.
  4. Carefully compare estimates: When plumbers send you a quote for the project you want completed, you might first try and make sure it isn’t too high. But any quotes that are significantly lower than expected is also reason for caution.A A major difference in pricing could mean the plumber will cut corners or other shady, cost-saving measures.A key detail to ensure is that the quote comes after the plumber has completed an on-site assessment to review the problem themselves. When quotes are only over the phone, the full price tag at the end of the project might be higher than anticipated.
  5. You can trust plumbers that are known to respond quickly, detailed and offering long-term solutions: A sense of professionalism is always important, but how can you know what a “professional” plumber should be? For starters, the plumbing technician should always be knowledgeable and courteous. At minimum, you’ll know the project will proceed smoothly.

But there are even more ways to tell your plumber will provide the best possible service. How quick are they with addressing your concerns? Do they help you understand why the problem appeared and keep you in-the-loop on their progress? 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.
