The plumbing system is another vital utility, and it deserves the attention of a qualified plumber. But how will you know for certain if your chosen plumber will get the job done right? Don’t worry, there are a number of things you can keep an eye out for to make sure you work with experienced plumbers who view your comfort and satisfaction as priority one.

Since the plumbers at J.L. Brady Company LLC want you to have the best possible experience, we’re sharing essential tips for finding the best plumber.

Insured? Honest About Prices? This Is How You Find the Best Plumber

Trying to choose from all these different plumbing companies can feel like a slog at first. Each of these companies is claiming to offer better service, but which plumbers really mean it? Keep these five things in mind when you're ready to compare:

  1. Find out if they’re licensed, insured and preferably certified: The first way to confirm whether or not a plumber is a professional is by making sure they’re licensed and insured by the proper regulatory organizations.Particularly experienced plumbers often have certifications that demonstrate their competency. These certifications are vital when you need specialized services such as backflow prevention and testing.
  2. Look for policies concerning service guarantees or warranties: Standard services like preventive maintenance can help keep the warranties of your plumbing equipment active. Also, some plumbing companies offer their own warranties on new fixtures or other plumbing equipment. This demonstrates confidence and a willingness to replace faulty equipment.
  3. Look for relevant reviews and testimonials describing past projects: it's always a good idea to have a second opinion, and previous customers are a great source of information. When multiple reviews illustrate something concerning, you’ll know it might be better to seek alternatives.
  4. Always compare estimates: Even when a trusted plumbing company can offer you a quote for the work you want done, you might first try and make sure the price is not too high. But estimates that are significantly lower than expected is also reason for caution.A steep drop in pricing could mean the plumber will cut corners or take other cost-saving measures.A key detail to ensure is that the quote follows an on-site assessment to determine the scope of the job. If the estimate is just one from someone over the phone, the actual cost at the end of the project may be higher than anticipated.
  5. You can trust plumbers that are quick to respond, detailed and looking for long-term solutions: Professionalism is always important, but how can you know what a “professional” plumber should be? To begin with, the plumbing technician should always be knowledgeable and courteous. At minimum, you’ll have peace of mind that the project will proceed smoothly.

But there are other ways to make sure your plumber is truly dedicated to the best possible service. How quick are they with addressing your concerns? Do they help you comprehend why the problem appeared and keep you in-the-loop on their progress? And finally, the best plumbers offer solutions that last. Preventive measures keep problems from happening in the first place, which means a more efficient and economical plumbing system.
