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

Certified? 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 offering better service, but which plumbers really have what it takes to back that statement up? Keep these important things in mind before you start looking:

  1. Find out if they’re licensed, insured and preferably certified: One of the most important ways to verify your plumber is a professional is by making sure they’re licensed and insured by the proper regulatory organizations.Advanced plumbers may also have certifications proving their high degree of 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 maintenance appointments are how you keep the warranties of your plumbing equipment active. Additionally, reputable plumbers often offer their own warranties on new fixtures or other plumbing equipment. This demonstrates confidence and conditions in place to replace broken equipment.
  3. Read reviews and testimonials describing past projects: It never hurts to have a second opinion, and previous customers are a great source of information. When multiple reviews illustrate any concerning patterns, you’ll know it might be better to look elsewhere.
  4. Carefully compare estimates: Even when a trusted plumbing company can offer you a quote for the project you want completed, you might first try and make sure the price is not too high. But any quotes that are unusually low is also reason for caution.A steep drop in pricing could mean the plumber will cut corners or take other cost-saving measures.It’s also important that the quote follows an in-person inspection to review the problem themselves. When quotes are only over the phone, the actual cost at the end of the project might be different than expected.
  5. You can trust plumbers that are responsive, detailed and offering long-term solutions: Professionalism is always important, but how do you define what a “professional” plumber should be? For example, your plumber should always be polite and knowledgeable. At minimum, you’ll know the project will proceed smoothly.

But there are other ways to confirm your plumber will provide the best possible service. How responsive are they with addressing your concerns? Do they help you learn how and why the problem formed and keep you in-the-loop on their progress? And finally, the best plumbers offer solutions that endure. Proactive measures keep problems from happening in the first place, which means a more effective and economical plumbing system.
