What To Look For When Hiring a Plumber

Experience
A competent plumber should be an expert when it comes to alleviating plumbing related disasters. As such the only way that you can certify that they are in fact experts, is to inquire about their experience pertaining to completing other jobs for other clients. It’s also recommended that you ask for references as well.
Compliance

Warranty
Some plumbers may do a poor job of fixing the problem which may ultimately lead to further issues related to the same problem further down the line. Which essentially means that you will have to spend more money for the same problem. Another thing you should consider is if the plumber has a warranty policy. A good plumber should have a warranty policy that states that they will complete the job the first time around, or come back to fix any problems that may occur pertaining to the same situation, free of charge.
Written Statements
One of the signs that may indicate a shady and unethical plumber is the refusal to provide a written estimate. Without a written estimate, even if the plumber tells you that you may have to pay $200 for the repair job, they can eventually charge you double due to legitimate and illegitimate reasons. Most states have regulations in place that protect the consumer from paying a certain percentage above what’s on a written estimate. This protects you from being overcharged by unethical plumbers who may try to take advantage of the fact that you are not knowledgeable about the inner working of their respective field of expertise, similarly to how car mechanics typically overcharge their customers due to a lack of knowledge on the consumer’s part.
