There are very few homeowners who haven’t utilized the services of a plumbing professional, but there are however a few out there who are yet to find one that fits their needs and budget.
According to a recent consumer survey, a majority of homeowners are more apt to research the market before hiring a contractor to repair their pipes, but that doesn’t mean all consumers put thought into it.
Those homeowners who simply picked a Calgary plumbing professional right out of the phone book often did so because they didn’t have a contractor lined up ahead of time. Of course this doesn’t mean they hadn’t planned for the unexpected, but they also didn’t do any research on the market before a pipe burst, the water tank broke down or a toilet flooded.
Experts in the industry recommend finding a reliable and quality plumber before disaster strikes, and this in turn means consumers will know where to turn when they do have a plumbing problem.
It’s also advised that contractors carry a professional business license, are insured and bonded. Whether they are working Calgary plumbing NW, NE, SE, or SW all plumbers need full insurance coverage, which will in turn protect both the consumer and the plumbing specialist.
One of the easiest and most reliable ways to find a plumber is through helpful word of mouth recommendations from others in the homeowner’s community. This can include friends, family, neighbours and even co-workers, any of which have used the services of a plumber in the past.
Although this is always the best way to find a quality plumber, sometimes it’s not an option, especially for those who are new to the area. The second best way to find a qualified plumbing professional is by checking out online consumer review sites, such as Google Places or the Yellow Pages. These review sites are fairly unbiased and will at the very least be a good starting ground.
Lastly, consumers are always advised to hire a contractor that provides a full warranty on his or her products and services.
