What to Look for When Hiring a Residential Plumber

There are several reasons why a property owner would like to hire a residential plumber. Usually, it is due to a need to install or repair a plumbing fixture. Other times, it is meant for maintenance care or emergency troubleshooting. Whatever the reason though, every homeowner should at least have a reliable plumber whom they can call on for their plumbing requirements.

 

For first-time homeowners, and those who are hiring a plumber for the first time, here are some tips on what to look for when hiring a residential plumbing contractor.

Work Only with a Licensed Plumber

Property owners should only deal with a licensed plumbing contractor. No matter the plumbing requirement, hiring an unlicensed person to do a plumbing job will do more harm than good. While legitimate plumbers charge more than an unlicensed freelancing handyman, the risks of hiring an unqualified person are not worth the savings.

Apart from having the guarantee that a plumber is knowledgeable and experienced in the field, a state license also guarantees that the plumbing contractor has the surety bond that can serve as insurance for the clients in case something goes wrong during and after the plumbing service.

Homeowners can ask for the license details of the plumber they are looking to hire and verify the information through the Contractors State License Board.

Plumbing Expertise is a Must

Apart from legitimacy, expertise is a must-have quality of a plumber. The experience will dictate how a plumber goes about his installation, repair, and maintenance work. It will make him work more efficiently, saving the homeowner time and money. More importantly, a plumber’s expertise will guide him on how to quickly and effectively address emergency plumbing situations.

A homeowner can determine the expertise of a plumber through the number of years of service, and the objective feedback and review of his past clients.

Good Customer Service

Every reputable plumber has a knack for good customer service. As in any service company, customer experience plays a huge role in customer satisfaction. Homeowners should look for a plumber who can answer inquiries with ease and courtesy, make scheduling a breeze, promptly arrive for appointments, and clean up their work area. Of course, the standard cost estimate, and not engaging in price gouging are expected.
