If you are looking for some Plumbing services in your area, make sure to judge plumbers well for his professionalism, licensing, duration of work, cost, and reliability. Here are the top questions you need to cross-question your plumber before actually hiring him.
1. How Long Are You Working And Is There Any Client In The Area To Whom You Have Provided Plumbing Repairs?
As experience comes with time and skills polishes after doing the same thing again and again, thus to judge the professionalism of your plumber, you need to ask him the above-mentioned question. If he gives you a satisfactory answer, then you need to judge if he is speaking truth thus ask him the other part of the question like if there is any client in your area to whom he had already provided plumber repair services. If he successfully and genuinely answers both parts, it’s time for you to ask the next question.
2. Do You Own Plumbing Insurance And License Of Working As A Plumber?
If he says yes, then ask him for the evidence of license and insurance proof. This is necessary because insured plumbers are responsible for any damage during the service. You cannot claim to an uninsured and unregistered plumber to pay you about the loss that he has made, from the legal point of view. Hence, to avoid inconvenience you need to check the documentation as proof of his yes, and then move to the next question.
3. How Much You Will Charge Me for Fixing the Bathroom Pipe (Or Any Service Cost That You Want To Hire Him For)?
Best plumbing service provider plumbers do not tell cost on phone, in fact, they want to visit you before figuring out the price of material and overall service cost. A plumber who tells you the price without examining the problem is seasonal one and doing this plumbing thing just to get some extra cash. So, only hire those plumbers who charge you a genuine price and who worth the cost.
4. Who is going to do the Plumbing task for me and if he is licensed?
What companies sometimes do is, send you an untrained and novice plumber with no specific plumbing skills. Hence it is recommended that you ask for the licensing proof of the plumber that you are hiring so that you can avoid inconvenience and get cost-effective and long-lasting plumbing services. Genuine plumbers have the license and from the date, on their license, you can figure out their service period.
5. Can You Provide Me Written Price Quote And Invoices To Me?
Do not agree on a verbal price quote that they will tell you on phone. You must ask for the written price and get a confirmation like if they are charging you on hourly basis or the fixed price. What happens sometimes, if you don’t get the written price cost they can add in the charges and hourly rates in it and can ask you for huge cash and as you don’t have any written proof, you cannot call the authorities for help.
If you get satisfactory answers form the plumbing service provider company, consider them to hire or else, there are lots of other plumbers available in the market, get ready to interview them.
