Don’t worry, there are multiple things you can keep an eye out for to guarantee you work with experienced plumbers who treat your comfort and satisfaction as the main concern.

Because the professional plumbers at Bishop’s HVAC want you to have the best possible experience, we’re sharing essential tips for finding the best plumber.

Insured? Fair Prices? This Is How You Find Expert Plumbers

Trying to decide between all these different plumbing companies can feel like a slog at first. Everyone’s offering better service, but which ones really have what it takes to back that statement up? Keep these five things in mind before you start looking:

  1. Confirm they’re licensed, insured and preferably certified: One of the most important ways to confirm that a plumber is a professional is by finding where they’re licensed and insured by relevant and local organizations.Plumbers who go above and beyond often have certifications that demonstrate their competency. These certifications may be required for specialized services such as the testing for and prevention of backflow.
  2. Check if they have policies offering service guarantees or warranties: Many key plumbing services like maintenance appointments can help keep the warranties of your plumbing system in good standing. Also, many plumbing professionals offer their own warranties on the products they sell. This illustrates confidence and their ability to replace faulty equipment.
  3. Look for relevant reviews and testimonials from past customers: It never hurts to have a second opinion, and a plumber’s past clients are a great source of information. When multiple reviews illustrate any concerning patterns, you’ll know it can be safer to seek alternatives.
  4. Take the time to thoroughly compare estimates: When plumbers send you a quote for a potential plumbing project, your first instinct might be to make sure it isn’t too high. But estimates that are unusually low is also reason for caution.A steep drop in pricing might be because the plumber will use substandard materials or take other cost-saving measures.A key detail to ensure is that the quote is based on an on-site assessment to review the problem themselves. If a quote comes over the phone, the actual cost at the end of the project may be far outside your expectations.
  5. You can trust plumbers that are responsive, detailed and committed to long-term solutions: Professionalism is always important, but how do you define what a “professional” plumber should be? To begin with, the plumbing technician should always be polite and knowledgeable. 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 responsive are they with addressing your concerns? Do they help you learn how and 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. Preventive measures keep problems from happening in the first place, which means a more efficient and economical plumbing system.
