Plumbing is such an important component of your home, therefore when it comes to any plumbing-related situations or needs, you should always entrust your plumbing work to a licensed, certified plumber. The last thing you want when a plumbing disaster happens is for the wrong person to come in and make things worse. But how do you know which plumber to choose and, most importantly, what to look for when making this crucial decision? It can all be such a nerve-wracking process! But don’t worry; that’s what Bexley Plumbing & Drain is here for. We’ve got you covered! So, feel free to accompany us as we review a few important aspects to consider when choosing your professional plumber.
HAVE YOU READ THE REVIEWS?
In today’s day and age, reviews are such a prominent factor that you don’t want to skip over. Therefore, reading a few reviews before narrowing down your choices is always a good idea. It will help you to get a good grasp of the company’s work ethic and experience. Furthermore, should you choose to go with a specific company, it’s always appreciated when you are highly satisfied to leave a review in appreciation of their services rendered.
HAVE YOU CHECKED IF THE PLUMBER IS CERTIFIED?
When a plumbing company says they are licensed, it means they are officially registered with a plumbing association that makes the guidelines for professional plumbers to follow. This, of course, guarantees that the plumber knows how to do the job correctly, efficiently, and safely. You don’t want to cut corners when hiring just any old “handy man” for your home’s plumbing issues. And remember, it’s okay to ask a plumber to show you their certification. A good, professional plumber should not have any qualms with showing you their certification.
HAVE YOU COMPARED OTHER PRICES?
Next, you want to take a look at those prices. It’s natural to want to get the best price around. However, bear in mind, that the best deal isn’t necessarily always the “best deal.” Sometimes, when you choose to go the cheapest route, you may find yourself encompassed in regret. While we all enjoy a good deal every now and then, it’s imperative to think about two factors: cost and quality. Quality work is an absolute must.
HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT THEIR COMMUNICATION ASPECT?
Fourth of all, don’t undervalue the power of good communication! A sign of a good plumber is one who willingly communicates about the issues, sets expectations well, and keeps you informed as the need arises. Furthermore, you should never feel like you can’t ask your plumber any questions. Good plumbers won’t mind answering any concerns you may have. And last, of all, a good general rule of thumb to go by is that if you are having a hard time getting in contact with a certain plumber whom you may be interested in giving your customer service, then you will probably also have the same issues being able to communicate with him/her during or after the job.
HAVE YOU ASKED ABOUT THE CLEANUP PROCESS?
Plumbing jobs can be messy! Especially, if there is a part or pipes that need to be replaced. Though it may sound insignificant right now, excellent customer service should also entail a professional leaving your home in better shape than when they started. For this reason, we suggest asking if part removal and cleanup are included in their service price or if that will cost you an additional fee. That way, you are not left with an unpleasant mess or additional fees at the end of the completed job.
HAVE YOU ASKED ABOUT THEIR AVAILABILITY?
Availability is so important. This applies even more so when you are considering having a larger plumbing job performed. Imagine putting a good chunk of money into a home plumbing project, then having an unavoidable issue surface a couple days later, only to be told by that plumber that they aren’t available to come back and fix the problem right now. This surely would be very frustrating! Fortunately, there are some plumbing companies that offer emergency hours 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We are happy to say that Bexley Plumbing & Drain is one such company. We take pride in offering a 24/7 emergency service for those eleventh-hour situations.
