Since the plumbers at Halverson Brothers Inc want you to have the best possible experience, we’re sharing our top tips for finding the best plumber.

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

Trying to select the right professional between all these different plumbing companies can be daunting at first at first. Everyone’s claiming to offer better service, but which plumbers really have what it takes to back that statement up? Keep these important things in mind as you start your search:

  1. Make sure they’re licensed, insured and ideally certified: One of the most important ways to verify whether or not a plumber is a professional is by making sure they’re licensed and insured by the proper regulatory organizations.Plumbers who go above and beyond often have certifications demonstrating this competency. These certifications may be required for specialized services such as the testing for and prevention of backflow.
  2. Look for policies offering service guarantees or warranties: Standard services like preventive maintenance are important for keeping the warranties of your plumbing equipment in good standing. Additionally, reputable plumbers often offer their own warranties on available plumbing products. This illustrates confidence and their ability to replace malfunctioning equipment.
  3. Find reviews and testimonials from past customers: it's always a good idea to have a second opinion, and a plumber's past clients are a great source of information. If these reviews illustrate any concerning patterns, you’ll know it could be smarter to seek alternatives.
  4. Take the time to thoroughly compare estimates: When plumbers send you a quote for a potential plumbing project, you might first try and make sure it isn’t too high. But estimates that are unusually low could also be a red flag.A A major difference in pricing might be because the plumber will use substandard materials or other shady, cost-saving measures.It’s also important that the quote is based on an on-site assessment to review the problem themselves. When quotes are only over the phone, the actual cost at the end of the project may be far outside your expectations.
  5. Choose plumbers that are quick to respond, detailed and looking for long-term solutions: Professionalism is always important, but how do you define what a “professional” plumber should be? As an example, your plumber should always be knowledgeable and courteous. When a plumber clearly makes your satisfaction the priority, you’ll know 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 understand why the problem showed up and keep you informed 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 effective and cost-effective plumbing system.
