01
Make sure your plumber is properly licensed and determine whether permits are required for projects such as repiping or bathroom remodeling.
02
Ask for proof of insurance when appropriate. A certificate of insurance (COI) may be particularly important for larger residential or commercial projects.
03
In the event of a burst pipe, loss of hot water, or major leak, ask us how after-hours calls are handled and whether additional charges apply.
04
To prevent surprises while the work is being done, ask for a written estimate that explains labor, materials, and any fixture replacements, whether you need a toilet, faucet, bathtub, or another plumbing component.
05
Make sure the plumber provides the particular service you need. Water heater repair and installation, tankless systems, sewer line repairs, and other plumbing services can require different equipment and experience.
06
Recent customer reviews can give you a sense of how a plumber has handled similar repairs, installations, emergency calls, or drain problems.
