Insured? Fair Prices? Here’s How to Find the Best Plumber

Trying to decide 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. Confirm they’re licensed, insured and ideally certified: One of the most important ways to make sure that a plumber is a professional is by checking that they’re licensed and insured by relevant and local organizations.Particularly experienced plumbers often have certifications that demonstrate their competency. These certifications are vital when you need specialized services such as testing and backflow prevention.
  2. Look for policies offering service guarantees or warranties: Common plumbing services including maintenance appointments are how you keep the warranties of your plumbing equipment in good standing. Also, many plumbing professionals offer their own warranties on available plumbing products. This illustrates confidence and a willingness to replace malfunctioning equipment.
  3. Find reviews and testimonials proving their experience: it's always a good idea to have a second opinion, and a plumber's past clients are a great source of information. If these reviews illustrate any concerning patterns, you’ll know it could be smarter to look elsewhere.
  4. Take the time to thoroughly 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 estimates that are unusually low is also reason for caution.A huge gap in pricing might be because the plumber will cut corners or other shady, cost-saving measures.A key detail to ensure is that the quote follows an on-site assessment to determine the scope of the job. When quotes are only over the phone, the full price tag at the end of the project might be far outside your expectations.
  5. Find plumbers that are quick to respond, detailed and committed to long-term solutions: Professionalism is always important, but how can you know what a “professional” plumber should be? For example, the plumbing technician should always be polite and knowledgeable. At minimum, you’ll have peace of mind that the project will proceed smoothly.

But there are even more ways to make sure your plumber is truly dedicated to the best possible service. How quick are they with addressing your concerns? Do they help you comprehend why the problem appeared and keep you informed 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 effective and economical plumbing system.
