Plumber Questions

If you don’t know much about plumbing, that’s okay. You’ll have to hire a plumber eventually, and you’ll want to know which plumber questions to ask. Here are a few of the most important plumber questions you should be asking any plumber you’re considering hiring.

Do You Have Insurance?

This is one out of the many plumber questions you should ask. If the answer to this question is no, run the other way. Every plumber doing work in your home should be able to provide you with insurance. Any damage that is caused to your home will have to be fixed, and you don’t want to have to foot the bill for someone else’s mistake.

Do You Have A License To Do This?

If there is a requirement for a plumber to have a license in your area, it’s important to know that they have one. If the plumber you’re considering to hire doesn’t have a license, there’s probably a good reason for it. You wouldn’t ask an unlicensed doctor to treat you, so don’t ask an unlicensed plumber.

Have You Any References?

References and good reviews are one of the strongest indicators of whether or not a person will use a product or service. Ask for references. Get names, phone numbers and call them. Find out if they were satisfied and if they would use the same person again if they ran into problems.

What’s The Cost?

A plumber should know the approximate cost of the job before they do it. You should be able to get a list of the required materials and a breakdown of the cost of service.

Can You Give Me A Guarantee?

A plumber should stand behind their work. They should be able to say that the job will be done right the first time, and if not, they’ll come back at no charge. If they can’t give you a guarantee, there are plenty of plumbers out there that will. The last thing you need is to be stuck paying to fix the exact same problem weeks or months down the road.

Have More Questions?

These are the most important plumber questions you should have on your list. Write them down and think up a few of your own. Keep them handy. Keep a tally of each plumber’s response, so it’s easier to choose which one is the best when the time comes. Make a good decision on hiring, and you’ll make a great decision for your plumbing.
