How to Find a Reputable Plumber
Compile a list of candidates. In order to find the best plumber
for your needs, you will need to do some comparison shopping. The
best place to start is to ask people you know if they can recommend
a good plumber. Then search online for plumbers in your area. It is
also a good idea to ask local real estate agents, plumbing supply
stores, and builders who they use and/or refer their customers
to.
Check licenses. You can easily check a plumbers licensing by
conducting an online search with your states licensing board. All
you need is the plumbers business name or license number. Plumbers
must undergo a number of requisites before obtaining a license,
including a background check and a plumbing competency test, so
checking for proper licensing is a great place to start.
Interview candidates. Once youve verified appropriate
licensing, you should interview the remaining candidates to weed
out the yays from the nays. Ask about years of experience,
specializations (installation versus repair, for example), and
amount of expertise in handling jobs similar to yours.
Call on references. When you interview candidates, you should
ask for references. Call on each of the references you are given
and ask about things like customer service, timeliness, and work
quality.
Get bids. Once you have narrowed down your list of candidates
to a manageable size, it is time to get bids. Have each of the
plumbers give you a detailed bid, including work hours, materials
to be used, and estimates for completion time. At this point, you
will know from all of your research that you are comparing apples
to apples, so the winning bid will determine which plumber you
ultimately choose.
Your homes plumbing is a major investment, and one that you
will need to last for many years to come. Dont take any chances
with faulty plumbing materials or installation. Call Affordable
