Uh oh! There’s a leak under your kitchen sink and you have no idea how to put a stop to it. Maybe your toilet is overflowing and no amount of plunging is fixing the issue. Perhaps, your shower won’t provide you with hot water no matter how far you turn the lever to the left. What to do?
If you’re looking for expert assistance with your plumbing issues, there are some very important things to consider. Allow us to help you ensure you’re hiring a trustworthy professional plumber.
Confirm that the plumber is fully licensed and insured.
Licensing proves that the professional you hire has the required training and certifications. In addition, insurance will protect you and your home in case of any accidents or damage that occurs during the repair job. In the province of Ontario, a plumber must have a valid Certificate of Qualification. In fact, it’s illegal, in our province, to work as a plumber without being a registered apprentice or a fully licensed plumber.
In order to become fully licensed, a plumber must complete a plumbing apprenticeship as well as 9,000 hours of combined work and study. Always ask to see a plumber’s credentials before hiring.
Look for clear, upfront pricing and a warranty.
A trustworthy professional plumber should offer a written estimate before starting any work. As well, your potential hire should explain any additional costs that may arise. Beware of plumbers who give vague or curiously low quotes. They may be cutting corners and could surprise you with unexpected charges.
The way we see it, offering transparent pricing is an important way to ensure customer satisfaction. We know how important it is to our clients that we are honest about every step of the process. It’s a top reason we have so many wonderful repeat customers. It’s also important, by the way, to see if the plumber will offer a warranty. That way, if something goes wrong after the job is done, it will be repaired at no extra cost.
Go online to search for positive reviews.
Does the plumber you’re thinking of hiring have a good reputation? Check online reviews on Google, Facebook, Yelp and other trusted sites. Just like any other business, a plumber that has consistently positive feedback and strong community ties is likely to be reliable. Don’t underestimate the power of word-of-mouth promotion. Ask your friends and family if they’d recommend anyone to you.
