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

Trying to select the right professional between all these different plumbing companies can be daunting at first at first. Each of these companies is offering better service, but which plumbers really stand by their word? Keep these important things in mind when you're ready to compare:

  1. Find out if they’re licensed, insured and preferably certified: The first way to verify your plumber is a professional is by checking that they’re licensed and insured by relevant and local organizations.Plumbers who go above and beyond will also seek out certifications proving their high degree of competency. These certifications are usually associated with specialized services such as backflow prevention and testing.
  2. Check if they have policies concerning warranties or service guarantees: Common plumbing services including preventive maintenance are important for keeping the warranties of your plumbing system active. In addition, reputable plumbers often offer their own warranties on new fixtures or other plumbing equipment. This demonstrates confidence and conditions in place to replace faulty equipment.
  3. Read reviews and testimonials from past customers: many homeowners prefer 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 might be better to seek alternatives.
  4. Always compare estimates: When plumbers send you a quote for the work you want done, you might first try and make sure the price is not too high. But estimates that are unusually low may be a sign of trouble.A huge gap in pricing might be because the plumber will cut corners or take other 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. If the estimate is just one from someone over the phone, the actual cost at the end of the project could be higher than you first thought.
  5. You can trust plumbers that are responsive, detailed and looking for long-term solutions: A sense of professionalism is always important, but what should a “professional” plumber should be? As an example, your plumber should always be attentive to any of your concerns. When a plumber clearly makes your satisfaction the priority, you’ll be able to trust that the project will proceed smoothly.

But there are even more ways to confirm your plumber will provide 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 informed 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.
