What to look for in a plumbing company

Plumbing work is not something that you want the “Average Joe” to be performing on your home. Instead, you want to make sure that you are going with a professional plumbing company that actually knows what they are doing. Today, we are discussing what to look for in a plumbing company to make sure that you get the job done correctly the first time around.

License

All plumbers, including their subcontractors are required to be licensed by the state. If your desired plumbing company is not licensed you need to stay away from them.

Insurance

For your own protection, it is important to make sure that you are only working with a plumbing company that has both worker’s compensation and general liability insurance.

Record of Accomplishment

It is important to make sure that your plumbing company has a record of accomplishment. They should have been in business for a long amount of time and they should have been at their current location for a period of time, which shows that they are stable and not a fly by night company.

Building Codes

You should also make sure that all building codes have been met.

Price Explanation

Even if the company you are considering hiring has met all of the above requirements that may still need to be avoided. You want to make sure that you know what they are charging you for and what is included in their hourly rates. The last thing you want to do is have a bunch of hidden fees surprise you when you get the final bill.

Bottom Line

Understand that it does take time for a plumbing repair to be completed so the cheapest price is not always the best. You want to investigate the things we mentioned above before hiring a plumbing company.
