  1. 7 QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK BEFORE HIRING A PLUMBER Residential & commercial plumbers https://burkecontractors.com/

  2. Whether you’re anticipating a plumbing remodel or a simple repair, hiring the right plumber is essential. The process may not be easy, but it doesn’t have to be overly complicated, either. Nowadays, it’s simple to search for a plumber online by using terms such as “residential plumbers near me,” but there’s more you should do. Here are seven questions to ask a plumber before hiring him or her.

  3. 1. DO YOU HAVE A LICENSE? The law requires plumbers to be licensed, so asking your plumber for his or her proof of license beforehand is vital. Licensed plumbers must also stay up to date with annual recertification tests to ensure their ability to perform standard plumbing operations. They should also be licensed in their counties of residence. Ask for documentary proof to be sure. 2. ARE YOU INSURED? You should never work with an uninsured plumber. In this line of work, accidents such as cuts and slips can happen. Working with an insured professional will save you from potential liability should any injuries occur. 3. WHAT ARE YOUR RATES? Always ask for a fixed quote before hiring a plumber. Some plumbers charge a service fee for coming to your house, whether they work on the project or not. This fee can be negotiated. On the other hand, some contractors have fixed rates, so make sure you get a precise quote. The service rates will depend on the complexity and size of the project. Asking for rates up front will save you from incurring potential hidden costs. Disputes arising from misunderstandings about service charges aren’t uncommon.

  4. 4. HOW MUCH PLUMBING EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE? 5. WHO WILL BE DOING THE ACTUAL WORK? Working with an experienced plumber is beneficial in many ways. The plumber will be able to correctly diagnose your plumbing needs and will likely offer high-quality services performed in a timely manner. Whether your needs are simple or complex, you’re better off doing business with an experienced plumber. Therefore, it’s a good idea to ask your plumber how experienced he or she is before you hire him or her. It’s not uncommon for senior plumbers to have subordinates perform various tasks. Even though this practice isn’t unlawful, knowing who will work on the project is vital information.

  5. 6. WHAT ARE YOUR QUALIFICATIONS? Before hiring a plumber, ask about his or her certifications. If the plumber has a website, you may want to check it out, since most plumbers list their qualifications online. A professional plumber should have the required minimum certifications and qualifications before doing a plumbing job. Hiring an under qualified plumber can cost you a lot of money if he or she fails to perform a task correctly. 7. WHAT ARE YOUR SPECIALTIES? A plumber specializing in repair work might not be the best choice when you need a plumber for a large remodeling project. Finding out your plumber’s expertise before asking him or her to work on a task is crucial. Only then will you get the best plumber to meet your needs.
