There are so many things that can go wrong with the plumbing in your home. Your water heater could stop working, the disposal in your kitchen sink could get jammed, or the sewer line to your home could back up. It’s a good idea to have the name and phone number of a plumber you trust on hand in case of a plumbing emergency. There are many plumbers that can help you with your home’s plumbing in Austin. How do you know which one to choose? Following are some tips for choosing a plumber you can trust.
Every homeowner you know has the potential to have something go wrong with their home’s plumbing. Chances are you are close to several people who have plumbers they trust. Ask one of your friends, neighbors, or family members for reference for plumbers to help you with your home’s plumbing in Austin. Write down the names and phone numbers for each plumber that a friend or family member refers you to. You can also look in the phone book or online for plumbers in your area.
When you have the names and phone numbers of several plumbers who can help you with your plumbing in Austin call each plumber on your list. You may want to write a list of questions to ask each plumber as you speak to him or her on the phone. Ask questions such as, “Do you have the proper licensing and what is your license number?” “Do you have any other plumbers you work with who may be doing repairs in my home?” “Can you give me a list of repairs you do?” “Do you warranty your work?” If you have waited to contact a plumber until you have a problem with your home’s plumbing in Austin, ask for an estimate on the repair you need. Make sure that you get the estimate in writing.
Once you have spoken to all of the plumbers on your list look over the information you have gathered. Consider each plumber you spoke to on the phone. You may find that you would feel comfortable calling a couple of the plumbers on your list if you ever have a need for plumbing services. If you do not have an immediate need for a plumber’s services, put the names and phone numbers of the plumbers you have chosen in a place that is readily accessible in case of a plumbing emergency.
