Indoor plumbing affords you the opportunity to cook delicious meals, keep your home clean, and enjoy a hot bath at the end of a long day—but only if it is working properly. When issues arise, you’ll need to call a plumber for help, but it isn’t always easy to know who to work with. Here are three qualities to look for in a professional plumber and why. 

Your Guide to Finding a Reliable Plumber

Proper Training

Although you may have a few friendly neighbors or relatives that are willing to help you with a clogged sink or troubled faucet, the fact of the matter is that they may not have the training they need to do the job safely and efficiently. Before you work with someone, ask them where they received their training and how long they have been working as a plumber. 

Commitment to Service

Good plumbers will get the job done, but great plumbers will create an excellent service experience in the process. As you speak with different companies, pay attention to how quickly they return your calls, how well they treat you, and which policies they offer to make the job more convenient. For example, some plumbers provide 24/7 service, so you won’t have to live with the problem until tomorrow. 

Great Reputation 

You can learn a lot about a plumber by the reputation they have online, so do your research before hiring anyone. Scour the web for reviews, and ask your friends and neighbors about the local service they prefer. They’ll let you know about the quality and efficiency of the company’s work and whether they were satisfied.
