1. Make sure the worker has a plumbing license
One of the simplest things to do when finding a plumber is to ask if they have a license and insurance. If you do this, both you and your neighbor will be protected if something goes wrong. A license simply means that the company has undergone the process to be officially certified.
2. Read online reviews and get several references
If possible, read the person or company's Twitter, Facebook, Yelp pages and look for any reviews. You might also want to ask for specific references to call on the phone. Feel free to talk to friends and neighbors for any recommendations. You may even try consulting with a professional whom you've worked with in the past in a similar field like an electrician. After all, this is an important project that needs to be done professionally.
3. See how long they have been in business
If a business has been operating for a long time, they are more likely to have had success in the past. If the business is new, hiring them would be a bit riskier.
4. Talk to competitors
Talk to more than one company to find out comparable rates. The same service may be a drastically different price from one place to another. You might even be able to get a lower bid from one company if they know you are looking in other places.
5. Ask if there's any kind of guarantee
Be sure to find out what kind of guarantee the business provides. Is there a money back guarantee or a limit? Can you find it easily in the contract? The more reputable the company the more of a guarantee they will have to perform the needed tasks.
6. Be wary of plumbers who give you an estimate over the phone.
One of the most important things any plumber needs to do is evaluate the job upfront. If they are giving you a full estimate of what the cost will be without seeing the place, be wary. Only when the plumber is in front of the actual job will they be able to truly give you the right estimate.
7. If you are worried and the job is costly, talk to a lawyer
If this is a huge job and the stakes are high, it might not hurt to consult a lawyer. They will be able to look at any contracts or answer any legal questions you might have.
Hopefully these 7 tips help make your search for a plumber a positive experience. It is time to flush away all of the worries you previously had.
