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

Insured? Honest About Prices? Here’s How to Find the Best Plumber

Trying to choose from all these various plumbing companies can seem overwhelming at first. Each of these companies is promising better service, but which plumbers really have what it takes to back that statement up? Keep these five things in mind before you start looking:

  1. Make sure they’re licensed, insured and ideally certified: The first way to confirm that 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 will also seek out certifications that demonstrate their competency. These certifications are vital when you need specialized services such as backflow prevention and testing.
  2. Look for policies related to warranties or service guarantees: Common plumbing services including maintenance appointments can help keep the warranties of your plumbing system active. Additionally, some plumbing companies offer their own warranties on new fixtures or other plumbing equipment. This illustrates confidence and their ability to replace broken equipment.
  3. Read 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. If these reviews illustrate something concerning, you’ll know it might be better to seek alternatives.
  4. Carefully compare estimates: Once a plumber provides you a quote for the project you want completed, your first instinct might be to make sure it isn’t too high. But estimates that are unusually low is also reason for caution.A A major difference in pricing might be because the plumber will cut corners or take other cost-saving measures.It’s also important that the quote is based on an on-site assessment to determine the scope of the job. If the estimate is just one from someone over the phone, the full price tag at the end of the project may be far outside your expectations.
  5. Work with plumbers that are quick to respond, detailed and committed to long-term solutions: A sense of professionalism is always important, but how do you define what a “professional” plumber should be? As an example, the plumbing technician should always be attentive to any of your concerns. When a plumber clearly makes your satisfaction the priority, you’ll have peace of mind that the project will proceed smoothly.

But there are even more 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 showed up 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 effective and economical plumbing system.
