How to Avoid Problems with Your Plumbing Contractor

When plumbing issues affect your life, getting them repaired and behind you is of the utmost importance since plumbing problems are usually smelly and dirty and anything but healthy. For most people resolving issues with the plumbing system involves a call to a professional plumbing company since they lack the expertise to make the repairs on their own. Under normal expectations the plumbing company that you hire will come in, make the repairs at the promised price, and life goes on. But if you aren’t careful, this isn’t the scenario that will play out and your simple repair job may turn into a hassle. Take a look at a few ways to ensure that you have an overall good experience with the plumbing contractor you select.

Do your Research

Don’t hire the first plumbing company that comes along because this is the first step in disaster. Never hire a plumber Coquitlam that:

• Lacks professionalism
• Doesn’t hold a valid license
• Won’t provide you an estimate

Take the time to research several plumbing companies in the area before you hire anyone. Request references and be sure to place a call to each of them. Look for online testimonials and reviews to further suffice the good reputation of the company. And always trust your instincts no matter what you’ve heard about a plumber. If you feel that something isn’t right, there is likely a good reason for that feeling.

Let your Feelings be known

Don’t assume that the plumber knows what you want him to do or what you expect from him. If it matters, open your mouth and voice your opinion. When your voice is heard you’ll feel much better and there is far less worry that something will go wrong with the project.

Recognize the Signs

There are a few obvious signs that alert you to a potential problem so make sure that you pay close attention to the signs! It is better to cut your losses now rather than allow the job to continue and additional problems occur. A few signs that indicate it is probably time to end the relationship with your plumber include:

• Won’t respond to phone calls, voicemails or emails
• Always has an excuse
• Job isn’t progressing as promised/ Continued delays
• Late for appointments
• Wants all of the money for the job upfront
• Needs money for supplies regularly or after a down payment
