5 Things to Consider Before Hiring a Plumber

By James Freeman

Whether you have a leak, need fixture upgrades, or are installing a new plumbing setup, having a plumber you trust can mean everything to the process. How do you locate the best plumber in Gainesville, FL to help you? Here are a few things to consider.

1. Make sure the plumber is properly licensed.

Plumbers are required to have a license in the state of Florida or be registered on their location to perform the work, and in some cases, the professional must be both licensed and registered. Essentially, if you find a Gainesville, FL plumber with a license, you will know that this professional:

  • Has obtained the proper education
  • Has passed the licensing requirements
  • Has passed a background check

2. Consider the duration of professional experience.

Not every plumber will have the same level of experience. You will come across entry-level plumbers who are just starting out, as well as seasoned professionals who have been around for a while. Additionally, the level of experience and training can vary depending on differences in classroom training, time spent as an apprentice, and the general type of work usually performed. Be sure to ask how long a plumber has been in the field outside of training.

3. Compare the plumber’s prices with other service professionals.

Plumbing is such an integral part of what makes your home function, but it should never be so expensive that affording necessary repairs is difficult. Most homeowners want to save as much money as possible where plumbing is concerned. You will find variations in cost among service providers for sure. The best plumbers will give you an estimate before you commit to hiring them. While price should never be your only deciding factor when hiring a plumber, getting a few price quotes to make sure you are getting a fair price is always recommended.

4. Find out if the plumber’s work is guaranteed.

Whether you are looking to improve your plumbing, get a fixture repaired, or otherwise, you want to ensure the work is going to be satisfactory. The best plumbers in Gainesville will have no qualms about offering a guarantee of your satisfaction with the work performed. Further, they will often times offer warranties for their work.

5. Check out reviews or ask for references.

Online reviews for any certain plumber can be found through sites like Yelp! and the Google Business directory. Check out these reviews, and ask the plumbing service if they can offer references. You can glean a great deal of information by checking on firsthand experiences with any service provider.
