Because the professional plumbers at West Jefferson Plumbing and Heating, Inc. want you to have the best possible experience, we’re sharing essential tips for finding the best plumber.

Insured? Fair Prices? What You Need to Find Expert Plumbers

Trying to choose from all these different plumbing companies can seem overwhelming at first. Everyone’s promising better service, but which plumbers really stand by their word? Keep these five things in mind when you're ready to compare:

  1. Make sure they’re licensed, insured and preferably certified: The first way to verify your plumber is a professional is by making sure they’re licensed and insured by legitimate organizations.Advanced plumbers will also seek out certifications demonstrating this competency. These certifications are vital when you need specialized services such as backflow prevention and testing.
  2. Check if they have policies related to warranties or service guarantees: Many key plumbing services like preventive maintenance can help keep the warranties of your plumbing equipment in good standing. Additionally, some plumbing companies offer their own warranties on the products they sell. This illustrates confidence and a willingness to replace broken equipment.
  3. Read reviews and testimonials describing past projects: It never hurts 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 can be safer to seek alternatives.
  4. Carefully compare estimates: Once a plumber provides you a quote for the project you want completed, it's common make sure the price is not too high. But estimates that are unusually low may be a sign of trouble.A A major difference in pricing could mean the plumber will cut corners or other shady, cost-saving measures.A key detail to ensure is that the quote comes after the plumber has completed an in-person inspection to determine the scope of the job. When quotes are only over the phone, the full price tag at the end of the project may be far outside your expectations.
  5. You can trust plumbers that are quick to respond, detailed and offering long-term solutions: Professionalism is always important, but how do you define what a “professional” plumber should be? To begin with, the plumbing technician should always be polite and knowledgeable. At the very least, you’ll be able to trust that the project will proceed smoothly.

But there are even more ways to verify your plumber will provide the best possible service. How quick are they with addressing your concerns? Do they help you comprehend why the problem formed and keep you informed 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 effective and economical plumbing system.
