Insured? Honest About Prices? This Is How You Find the Best Plumber

Trying to decide between all these various plumbing companies can feel like a slog at first. All these technicians are promising better service, but which ones really mean it? Keep these five things in mind before you start looking:

  1. Confirm they’re licensed, insured and ideally certified: One of the most important ways to make sure your plumber is a professional is by checking that they’re licensed and insured by the proper regulatory organizations.Plumbers who go above and beyond will also seek out certifications that demonstrate their competency. These certifications are usually associated with specialized services such as testing and backflow prevention.
  2. Ask about their policies offering warranties or service guarantees: Common plumbing services including preventive maintenance can help keep the warranties of your plumbing equipment in good standing. Additionally, many plumbing professionals offer their own warranties on the products they sell. This illustrates confidence and a willingness to replace faulty 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. When multiple reviews illustrate something concerning, you’ll know it might be better to seek alternatives.
  4. Carefully compare estimates: Once a plumber provides you a quote for the work you want done, it's common make sure the price is not too high. But any quotes that are significantly lower than expected is also reason for caution.A A major difference in pricing might be because the plumber will use substandard materials or other shady, cost-saving measures.A key detail to ensure is that the quote follows an in-person inspection to review the problem themselves. If a quote comes over the phone, the actual cost at the end of the project may be higher than you first thought.
  5. Prioritize plumbers that are responsive, 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? To begin with, the plumbing technician should always be knowledgeable and courteous. At the very least, you’ll have peace of mind that the project will proceed smoothly.

But there are additional ways to confirm your plumber is truly dedicated to the best possible service. How quick are they with addressing your concerns? Do they help you understand why the problem showed up and keep you updated on how the job's going? And finally, the best plumbers offer solutions that last. Preventive measures keep problems from happening in the first place, which means a more effective and cost-effective plumbing system.
