Because the professional plumbers at The Frazier Company want you to have the best possible experience, we’re sharing essential tips for finding the best plumber.
Certified? Fair Prices? What You Need to Find Expert Plumbers
Trying to select the right professional between all these various plumbing companies can be daunting at first at first. Everyone’s offering better service, but which plumbers really stand by their word? Keep these key things in mind when you're ready to compare:
- Confirm they’re licensed, insured and preferably certified: The first way to make sure whether or not a plumber is a professional is by making sure they’re licensed and insured by legitimate organizations.Advanced plumbers often have certifications that demonstrate their competency. These certifications are usually associated with specialized services such as the testing for and prevention of backflow.
- Check if they have policies offering service guarantees or warranties: Many key plumbing services like preventive maintenance are important for keeping the warranties of your plumbing equipment active. Also, many plumbing professionals offer their own warranties on new fixtures or other plumbing equipment. This demonstrates confidence and conditions in place to replace faulty equipment.
- Read reviews and testimonials from past customers: many homeowners prefer to have a second opinion, and previous customers are a great source of information. When multiple reviews illustrate reasons for caution, you’ll know it might be better to look elsewhere.
- Take the time to thoroughly compare estimates: Even when a trusted plumbing company can offer you a quote for the work you want done, you might first try and make sure the price is not too high. But any quotes that are unusually low is also reason for caution.A A major difference in pricing could mean the plumber will use substandard materials or other shady, cost-saving measures.It’s also important that the quote is based on an in-person inspection to review the problem themselves. When quotes are only over the phone, the actual cost at the end of the project might be far outside your expectations.
- You can trust plumbers that are quick to respond, 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? As an example, the plumbing technician should always be attentive to any of your concerns. At minimum, you’ll have peace of mind that the project will proceed smoothly.
But there are other ways to confirm your plumber can deliver the best possible service. How quick are they with addressing your concerns? Do they help you understand why the problem appeared and keep you in-the-loop on how the job's going? And finally, the best plumbers offer solutions that endure. Proactive measures keep problems from happening in the first place, which means a more efficient and economical plumbing system.
