Insured? Fair Prices? Here’s How to Find Expert Plumbers

Trying to choose from all these various plumbing companies can feel like a slog at first. Everyone’s claiming to offer better service, but which ones really have what it takes to back that statement up? Keep these key things in mind when you’re ready to compare:

  1. Find out if they’re licensed, insured and ideally certified: One of the most important ways to confirm that a plumber is a professional is by making sure they’re licensed and insured by legitimate organizations.Particularly experienced plumbers may also have certifications that demonstrate their competency. These certifications are usually associated with specialized services such as backflow prevention and testing.
  2. Look for policies offering warranties or service guarantees: Many key plumbing services like maintenance appointments are important for keeping the warranties of your plumbing equipment in good standing. In addition, reputable plumbers often offer their own warranties on new fixtures or other plumbing equipment. This illustrates confidence and conditions in place to replace malfunctioning equipment.
  3. Find reviews and testimonials from past customers: many homeowners prefer to have a second opinion, and any reviews providing them are a great source of information. If these reviews illustrate any concerning patterns, you’ll know it might be better to look elsewhere.
  4. Always compare estimates: When plumbers send you a quote for a potential plumbing project, you might first try and make sure the price is not too high. But any quotes that are unusually low may be a sign of trouble.A steep drop in pricing might be because the plumber will cut corners or take other cost-saving measures.It’s also important that the quote comes after the plumber has completed an on-site assessment to determine the scope of the job. If the estimate is just one from someone over the phone, the actual cost at the end of the project could be far outside your expectations.
  5. Find plumbers that are responsive, detailed and looking for long-term solutions: Professionalism is always important, but what should a “professional” plumber should be? For starters, your plumber should always be attentive to any of your concerns. At minimum, you’ll know the project will proceed smoothly.

But there are even more 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 comprehend why the problem appeared and keep you in-the-loop on their progress? And finally, the best plumbers offer solutions that last. Proactive measures keep problems from happening in the first place, which means a more effective and cost-effective plumbing system.
