Whether you have a blocked drain or a burst pipe, plumbing issues can cause a great deal of stress and confusion. This makes it important that you hire a reliable, trustworthy plumber who you can count on to take care of all of your plumbing problems. While you may be in a situation where you need to find a plumber as soon as possible, it is still important that you do not rush into choosing a plumber, as this can create additional problems. Here are a few steps that you can take to help you find a reliable plumber in your area.

Ask Around

Unfortunately, it is inevitable that homeowners will experience plumbing problems at some point. The good thing is that this means that you likely have family, friends, and neighbors who have hired a plumber recently. Asking around for referrals from people you trust is a great way to get recommendations, as this gives you the opportunity to choose a plumber that someone you know has had a good experience with.

Read Reviews

Of course, before you consider working with a plumber, even if they come recommended, you should consider looking at their reviews online. This will give you a better idea of how it has been for past customers to work with a plumber you are considering hiring, giving you a better idea of who you may want to work with. Additionally, looking at a plumber’s Better Business Bureau page (if they have one) can show you how they handle disputes, which can give you valuable insight into their customer service skills.

Ask About Warranties

Once you begin talking to plumbers you are considering working with, it is important that you ask them about what kind of warranty/guarantee they offer on their work. A qualified and reliable plumber will be confident in their work and will be willing to warranty if for a period of time after the service has been completed. Not only will this protect you in the unlikely event that the problem recurs, but the quality of a plumber’s warranty can also tell you a lot about the quality of their work.
