Licensed? Honest About Prices? Here’s How to Find Expert Plumbers

Trying to select the right professional between all these different plumbing companies can seem overwhelming at first. Each of these companies is promising better service, but which ones really mean it? Keep these key things in mind before you start looking:

  1. Confirm they’re licensed, insured and ideally certified: One of the most important ways to verify whether or not a plumber is a professional is by making sure they’re licensed and insured by relevant and local 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 concerning service guarantees or warranties: Many key plumbing services like preventive maintenance can help keep the warranties of your plumbing equipment active. Also, reputable plumbers often offer their own warranties on available plumbing products. This illustrates confidence and their ability to replace broken equipment.
  3. Find reviews and testimonials from past customers: It never hurts 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: Even when a trusted plumbing company can offer you a quote for a potential plumbing project, your first instinct might be to make sure it isn’t too high. But estimates that are unusually low may be a sign of trouble.A A major difference in pricing could mean the plumber will cut corners or take other cost-saving measures.It’s also important that the quote follows an on-site assessment to determine the scope of the job. If the estimate is just one from someone over the phone, the full price tag at the end of the project might be higher than anticipated.
  5. Choose plumbers that are responsive, detailed and committed to long-term solutions: Professionalism is always important, but what should a “professional” plumber should be? For starters, the plumbing technician should always be knowledgeable and courteous. When a plumber clearly makes your satisfaction the priority, you’ll be able to trust that the project will proceed smoothly.

But there are other 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 updated 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 efficient and economical plumbing system.
