July 14, 2016Hiring a Good Bathroom Plumber without Being Scammed or Overcharged
Your bathroom plumbing is vital to the health, safety and comfort of you and your family. Ruptured pipes and backed up sewers can quickly make your home unpleasant and unhealthy. That's why it's important to choose a plumber that can install, repair and maintain your bathroom plumbing properly.
However, because plumbing Calgary services are so necessary, the industry has attracted its share of scam artists and unethical plumbers. We want to help you obtain quality plumbing services for your bathroom at a reasonable cost and avoid getting ripped off.
The Best Strategy: Choose a Plumber Before You Need One
The more time you have to ask around for referrals and interview plumbers, the better chance you have of finding a reputable plumber who you like and charges reasonable prices. That's why it's best to start looking for a plumber before you need one. When your basement is full of sewage or your bathroom pipes are spewing water all over the place, you don't have time to check references, compare rates, and conduct interviews.
Start by asking your friends, neighbors, coworkers, and members of your church or social organizations to which you belong. Find people who have recently hired plumbers and had a good experience. Get the names of the plumbers who did the work and start calling around and asking about their hourly rates. Also double-check and make sure they are licensed, bonded and insured.
If you find a plumber or plumbing company that you like, ask if they have a service agreement. In a service agreement, you pay a regular fee in exchange for periodic examinations of your plumbing and discounts on service calls. Many plumbers offer them and they're a good way to develop a relationship with a plumber and find out about their pricing and service quality before you have a need. Plus, the discounts can save you a bundle when you actually need work done.
