Because the professional plumbers at Air-Right Energy Design want you to have the best possible experience, we’re sharing essential tips for finding the best plumber.

Licensed? Honest About Prices? What You Need to Find Expert Plumbers

Trying to choose from all these different plumbing companies can feel like a slog at first. All these technicians are promising better service, but which ones really stand by their word? Keep these five things in mind as you start your search:

  1. Make sure they’re licensed, insured and preferably certified: One of the most important ways to make sure that a plumber is a professional is by checking that they’re insured and licensed by legitimate organizations.Advanced plumbers may also have certifications proving their high degree of competency. These certifications are usually associated with specialized services such as the testing for and prevention of backflow.
  2. Check if they have policies related to service guarantees or warranties: Common plumbing services including preventive maintenance are important for keeping the warranties of your plumbing equipment in good standing. Additionally, some plumbing companies offer their own warranties on available plumbing products. This illustrates confidence and their ability to replace malfunctioning equipment.
  3. Read reviews and testimonials describing past projects: it's always a good idea to have a second opinion, and a plumber's past clients are a great source of information. If these reviews illustrate something concerning, you’ll know it might be better to seek alternatives.
  4. Carefully compare estimates: When plumbers send you a quote for the work you want done, your first instinct might be to make sure the price is not too high. But estimates that are significantly lower than expected may be a sign of trouble.A A major difference in pricing might be because the plumber will cut corners or take other cost-saving measures.It’s also important that the quote follows an in-person inspection to determine the scope of the job. If a quote comes over the phone, the actual cost at the end of the project may be far outside your expectations.
  5. Choose plumbers that are responsive, detailed and committed to long-term solutions: A sense of professionalism is always important, but how can you know what a “professional” plumber should be? To begin with, your plumber should always be knowledgeable and courteous. When a plumber clearly makes your satisfaction the priority, you’ll have peace of mind that the project will proceed smoothly.

But there are other ways to determine your plumber will provide the best possible service. How quick are they with addressing your concerns? Do they help you learn how and why the problem formed and keep you updated on how the job's going? And finally, the best plumbers offer solutions that last. Proactive measures keep problems from happening in the first place, which means a more efficient and cost-effective plumbing system.
