Chances are you chose a family doctor long before you actually needed one Right Plumber. And no doubt for one primary reason: when you or a family member gets sick, you don’t want to be forced into a rushed decision.
So why would you wait until you’re standing in the middle of your kitchen in ankle deep water to choose a plumber? Having an experienced, knowledgable plumber you can turn to day or night can save you time, money, and frustration.
But with so many options, all claiming to be the best, how do you know who to trust?
These 6 tips should help make the selection process a little easier.
1. Start with your family and friends. Who do they use, and who have they used in the past? If they’ve had any negative experiences, how were they resolved?
2. After you have a few plumbers on your long list, compare their services. Do they offer night and weekend services, and do they charge extra? Are they able to handle everything from a simple clog to a bathroom remodel?
3. Go viral. As in, ask friends and neighbors and even hop on Facebook to see who else has hired the plumbers you’re considering and what sort of experience they had.
4. Once your list is narrowed down to 2 or 3, give each candidate a call. A good plumbing company should take the time to patiently answer your questions.
5. Ask if they offer written estimates before starting any work, if they are licensed and insured, and if and how they warranty their work.
6. Check out their web sites. A web site can tell you a lot about the company behind it. Does it clearly state what they do? How long has the company been in business, and do they offer any specialty plumbing services, like water filtration?
