Plumbing Company Qualities You Want to See

It’s vital to look for certain important qualities when choosing the right plumbing company. Failing to consider these factors could result in low-quality or dishonest service.

Licensing and Certification

Plumbing is an important profession, and those who work in it should take their training and certifications seriously. One question you can ask a prospective hire is what level of licensing and certification they have achieved. They should quickly and proudly answer that question.

A licensed plumber has met specific standards and is authorized to provide services. Membership in a reputable trade organization indicates a commitment to professional development.

Experience and Expertise

Beyond training, you’ll want to hire a team with experience in their field. Plumbing is a very complicated field, and it can take years before any technician solves enough problems to understand how systems in homes and buildings work fully.

Ask about their experience. Do they have experience with the type of work you need, such as residential, commercial, or specialized services? That way, you can know you are working with someone based on experience—not guesswork.

Reputation and References

A good plumber will have a solid reputation in the community. Check their websites to see if they list past customer reviews. If they have recently posted reviews, take that as a good sign.

Other review sources include Google, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau. Ask the plumber for references from previous clients, especially if you are about to hire them to oversee an expensive project.

Insurance Policies

Insurance protects you and the company performing the work. One basic thing you can ask is whether the company has liability insurance. If they cause damage to your property, you can know which insurance company to contact for reimbursement. A bond offers additional protections and guarantees the work will be completed as agreed upon.

Transparent Pricing

After describing your work, the technician should give you a written estimate, including a detailed breakdown of labor, materials, and other costs. Avoid companies that give vague quotes or do not want to provide written estimates. Transparency prevents unexpected charges and ensures you understand what you’re paying for.

Warranties and Guarantees

A reputable company should include language on its website stating that it guarantees its work. Otherwise, it may try to avoid responsibility if it botches the plumbing job. Offering a guarantee shows that it takes pride in its work. You can ask for specifics about how their guarantee works and how long it lasts.

Professionalism and Communication

Pay attention to how quickly the plumber calls you back and how polite and courteous they are. They should be on time, respectful, and answer any questions you have. If they take their communications and professionalism seriously, you can be confident that they take other areas of their work just as seriously.
