5 Things to Look For When Hiring A Plumbing Contractor

Have you wondered why the most inexperienced, costly contractors end up in your home? Actually it could have less to do with you than it does with the kind of information you’re gathering before you contract with the local plumber to repair your leaking faucets or burst pipes.
Let’s be plain: You usually take the time to call a plumbing contractor because you are either: a) very wet or b) very dry. Perhaps an untimely breakdown has happened within your plumbing world, and you need help now. So you take the first available plumber and wait with bated breath for him to appear.
From this point, the service you receive can either soothe – or increase – your feelings of panic and irritation. That’s why a better understanding of what to look for in a plumbing contractor can help you more than rushed decision making in an emergency.
Here are the top things to look for in a contractor before opening your home—and your wallet:
1. Credentials – If a contractor’s palms start sweating and a stutter appears as soon as you ask for licensing information, it’s probably a safe bet that you should take your business elsewhere.
Plumbing contractors should be able to readily (and eagerly) provide licensing and insurance information, as well as at least five references from recent customers. Be sure to check the references and inquire about timeliness, job performance, and overall satisfaction of results.
2. Training – Not every company meets the stringent hiring requirements of Feehan Plumbing & Heating. You don’t want your home to be the training ground of an inexperienced technician. By the time you see him scratching his head, shrugging his shoulders, and tossing the “spare” washers back in his tool kit, it may be too late to ask what sort of training has been completed.
You’ll learn the most about a company by asking specific questions, so be sure to ask about training policies for technicians and experience requirements for hiring. Listen carefully to the answers and find a contractor that you feel comfortable has the knowledge and expertise to handle your home with care.
3. Up Front Pricing – Beware of any contractor that asks for a large deposit upfront. If your contractor needs the deposit “to buy supplies”, that’s a bad sign; a credible contractor should have accounts in good standing with local suppliers. Your deposit may be on the way to the bank and long gone before you realize you never confirmed a “return” appointment to have your pipes refitted.
Legitimate plumbing contractors—and there are many—should give a price for services before work begins, and ask for payment only when work has been completed.
4. Scheduling– Think about it. You’re looking at funky brown drinking water. And your Plumbing contractor has just said he’d be glad to come out and take a look at it a week from Tuesday. The fact is, if he can’t provide quick relief, your contractor probably shouldn’t be your contractor.
Sure, you may have real scheduling issues in the middle of a busy season. But the scheduling should be explained with the assurance that the contractor will get there as soon as he can. Ask for a specific time, and expect him keep it.
5. Guaranty – Not all companies guaranty their work and it’s important to know that before you make your final decision. Without a guarantee on parts and labor, you may have another burst pipe and be expected to pay the same price to have it fixed again.
Ask before work begins if both parts and labor are guaranteed and for how long. If the answer is “Oh, trust me it’ll be fine. What do you need a guarantee for?”, then you should send him packing and find a company that will guarantee—meaning stake their reputation on your satisfaction—their work. Feehan Plumbing & Heating has been a service provider in this community for 34 years and stands by it’s commitment of prompt, efficient assistance to our customers.
Remember, you are calling a contractor because you have a problem. His job is to solve those problems – not add to them. Being meticulous in your choice can save you time, money, and quite possibly a few gray hairs.
