How to Vet a Professional Plumber Before Hiring

2/26/2021 (Permalink)

When hiring a plumber it isn't guaranteed that you will get a reliable one. Vetting a plumber before hiring can avoid many costly plumbing errors that can add onto the expenses you already have from the initial plumbing work. It is beneficial to vet your plumber prior to hiring. 

To pick the right plumber you want to make sure they are licensed. Some plumbers are only registered rather than licensed which can be a big difference in their performance. You can check if your state requires a plumber to be licensed, which many do, but some only require them to be registered. This may also indicate how much knowledge or experience a plumber has in the trade. It is important to choose a plumber with an extensive amount of experience. This is because with more experience it is more likely for them to do the tasks well due to the past plumbing situations they’ve handled. 

Another thing that you want to make sure to do before hiring a plumber is making sure they are insured and bonded. By having a bonded and insured plumber it helps to cover the possibility of accidents because even if they have experience it doesn’t eliminate the odds of mistake. When they are insured it covers contractor errors that can occur and injure people or even damage your property. Whereas, the bond is what will pay for any damage that isn’t covered by the insurance.
