For most homeowners, a leaking faucet may be the first sign of trouble in their plumbing. While many businesses are reputable, not everyone is willing to give you a fair deal. To ensure you avoid plumbing scams, Midwestern Plumbing Service has a few tips. They’ve been helping customers in the Cincinnati, OH, area for almost 40 years and want to make sure your repair experience is problem free.

When you’re looking for a plumber to fix your leaking faucet, watch out for:

• Odd Questions: Plumbers who ask you unusual questions about your marriage status or whether you’re alone in your home should be avoided. This shows not only a lack of professionalism, but a clear sign they might be trying to investigate the security of your house. There’s no way to tell what they might be planning, so it’s best to look for help elsewhere. 
• Disreputable Tactics: Less-than-reputable companies will send a team over with the intent of distracting you. While one gets your information, another will plant evidence of major damage. It’s an outrageous tactic, and a big reason for you to be present while the inspection is going on.
• The Money Scammers: Maybe you didn’t call for repairs, and you don’t have a leaking faucet. That doesn’t mean anything to the people looking to scam their way into repair jobs. While there are many types of money scams, the biggest red flag to watch out for are contractors who appear without appointments. They may claim to be looking for work, or say they noticed trouble around your home. These are warning signs to stay away from such individuals.
