In our daily life, at some point or the other, we all need plumbing services. These plumbing services can be for many reasons ranging from leakage of pipe to washing machine overflow of water. These services are also needed for small tasks such as pipe leaks or big projects such as bathroom remodeling. All these problems, if not solved, can lead to a big problem. Hence, it is necessary to call a plumber in order to resolve the issues as soon as possible.
But, finding the best plumber is not that an easy task. It is, in fact, a complicated one.
Here is a list of questions which you should ask a plumber to get the best out of him.
- Do You Have License?
This is the most important question which you need to ask a plumber. The government of different states has their own rules and regulations for licenses of plumbers.
There are some companies which have only licensed plumbers. The company’s website also mentions that their plumbers are licensed. You can verify the license at the website to make sure that you are contacting a legitimate plumber.
You must also make it a point to see the license and verify the same before hiring a particular plumber to do the task.
- How Much Will You Charge?
Some concerned websites already give you an estimate as to how much they charge per task. For instance, they provide an estimate for the installation of the geyser.
There are plumbers, as well, who can offer you an estimate cost for doing a particular task. If you find the approximation cost is worth the task, then you can go ahead and hire the plumber.
- Will You Complete the Job?
There are the companies which have more than one plumber. A licensed plumber takes the task and then passes the task to other plumbers who are junior to him.
There is nothing wrong with it. But, sometimes, the junior plumbers may not provide a quality work. In such a case, it is good to ask as to who will be assigned the task.
- How Much Time Will You Take in Completing the Task?
Ask the estimated time that the plumber may take to complete your job. There are plumbers who take more than one tasks. In such a scenario, it best to ask the plumber to write the approximate time, which will have taken to complete the task, on a piece of paper.
- Will You Offer Clean Up as Well?
Ask plumbers whether they will clean up the room after the task has been completed. Some companies do offer clean up services included in the estimated cost. But, then there are few other companies as well which do not include the clean-up services in the contract. It is best to ask the plumber directly in order to avoid any confusion.
- Do You Have Any References?
Ask the plumber about the references and the past record of the jobs that he has done in the past, especially, when you need to hire a plumber for a big contract such as the kitchen remodeling or bathroom remodeling.
Ask the references and then go to the site and examine the task done by the plumber and then decide whether the plumber is good at his work or not. This way, you will be able to ascertain if the plumber will yield satisfactory results or not.
These are some of the various important questions which you need to ask the plumber to get the work done to the best of his ability.
