5 Tips for Hiring a Plumber

No one likes the thought of plumbing repairs, and some mild plumbing issues can be solved with a plunger and a little elbow grease. There comes a time, however, when do-it-yourself repairs will not address the issue and you need the services of a qualified professional to get the job done. The key word there is “professional.” When looking to hire a Denver plumber, you want someone who will do the job right the first time, who will charge a reasonable rate for his or her services, and who will treat your home like it was his or her own.

Here Are 5 Tips for Choosing the Right Plumber to Hire

• Licensing. In Colorado, as in most states, you need a license to practice plumbing professionally. That means a certain amount of practical experience (five years for master plumbers), letters of verification and the like. Any plumber you hire needs to have those qualifications.
• Insurance.  A good plumber will be insured and bonded in the event of a mishap: protecting not only your home but the plumber himself as well.
• Accurate appraisal. A good plumber should be able to appraise the issue and quote you a rice for repairs before beginning any operations. The unexpected comes up from time to time, but by and large, the pros will be very accurate in their initial assessment.
• Experience. The longer a plumber has been in business, the more reliable his or her services are. Lengthy experience means a reliable track record, and possibly quality references from former customers as well.
• Warranty. A reliable plumber will guarantee parts and labor on the work he or she does, offering you security and reliability on repairs.
