Most people, when preparing to make a big purchase, do their research before buying. For example, when shopping for a new car, you wouldn’t just sit in the drivers seat and decide that was one for you. The same should apply when shopping around for plumbers.
There are a lot of specifications that are going to make an impact on how that car performs for you, like the miles per gallon, the engine, the fuel type, and countless other little details. So, when you’re looking for a plumber (or evaluating your current one) what specs should you be looking for?
Warner Service takes a deep dive into what makes an outstanding plumber:
Experience
First, one of the most important factors when selecting a plumber is their experience. A good plumber not only holds certifications, but also has experience in the field with different types of plumbing systems.
The best plumbers will have been trained not only through classes and training sessions, but also through mentorships and apprentice programs. You can tell a knowledgeable plumber by paying attention to the following:
- Note the amount of time that it takes for the plumber to diagnose your issues
- Be sure that the plumber then explains to you the issues and gives you a fair written estimate for the repairs
- Compare the final price for the job with the estimate and the amount of time spent on repairing the damages to see if the plumber treated you fairly
- Check the plumber’s work later to make sure the repairs are effective and last over time
Check Their Recommendations or Reviews
Experience is an excellent way to gauge a plumber who is working on your home already, but how do you pick the one that will come into your home in the first place? The best factor may not always be price. Especially in the field of plumbing, every home is different and each job may have hidden issues behind the walls. A small upfront quote may not be accurate to the final price charged after the work is complete. So how do you make your choice if not by price?
The best plumbers and plumbing companies thrive on recommendations. When someone does a good job and treats people well, people will recommend them to their friends and family. This is how Warner Service has grown in the plumbing and HVAC business.
Ask around to see if your family and friends have any recommendations, or take a look at the reviews of the plumbing company. Warner Service prides ourself in our 4+ star status on Google reviews.
Employer
One final factor that needs to be taken into consideration is the company that employs the plumber. Take a look at their website and social media to see if they are a reputable business with a history of success. Warner Service has been serving the Frederick area over 3 generations, and our customers stay with us because they can rely on our experience.
Here’s one testimonial from one of our customers in Hagerstown:
“We were out of town one week and returned to a smell throughout the house and we discovered a leak at one of the fittings. We shut it off and called on Sat. Morning. Michelle said someone would call within 30 minutes, which they did, and were here a short time later and took care of it.
We are very happy we choose Warner and will definitely recommend the Company. It is great to have such service and professionalism –rare anymore”.
