What to Consider When Choosing a Tacoma Plumber

When plumbing issues arise in your Tacoma home, you want to make sure you are making the correct decision for you and your family when it comes to getting those problems solved. Doing a little research before hiring a company can make you confident that you are making the correct decision for your family, and your wallet. Always remember that it is okay to ask questions to any plumber you choose! After all, you are inviting them to your home and want to make sure they will do the correct work for the correct price! Below are five major factors to consider when choosing a Tacoma plumbing company.

  1. Are You Choosing a Licensed Plumber?

It is a fact that every state requires plumbers to be licensed and bonded. Because plumbing is directly tied to the health of a home’s occupants, a plumber must attend many hours of school and training to ensure that all waste drains, toilets, and fixtures are installed properly. If not properly installed, these things could pose serious health risks. It is good practice to check the Tacoma licensure requirements as well. That way you know whomever you are hiring has the proper training to help protect the health of you and your family.

  1. Are You Choosing a Plumber With Liability Insurance?

Liability insurance is also something you should keep in mind when choosing a plumber. If you feel the need, don’t be afraid to ask your plumber for proof of liability insurance. It’s always good to know that you are covered if something goes wrong. Even the most professional companies make mistakes sometimes, and you want to be secure knowing those mistakes won’t come back to make trouble for you or your family.

  1. Does Your Tacoma Plumber Offer Workers Compensation?

Plumbing work involves the use of sharp tools, and dangerous equipment. If someone were to get injured while doing work on your property, you want to make sure the company is responsible for that and not you. While workers compensation is a requirement in most states, that does not mean every company has it. In fact, many of the smaller companies do not. This is something that most people do not keep in mind while hiring a plumber, but it’s an extremely important factor. Don’t be afraid to ask about workers compensation!

  1. How Responsive Is Your Tacoma Plumber?

Customer service is a huge factor to keep in mind when choosing a Tacoma plumber. How readily does your plumber respond to your calls, e-mails, and service requests? Usually when you really NEED a plumber, you are experiencing some type of emergency. You need a plumber you can count on to respond to your cries for help right away! Here at Harts we use several different communication mediums, and are available and ready to respond to your needs 24/7!

  1. Is Your Tacoma Plumber Financially Stable?

We all know how important financial stability can be in our own lives, and it is no different when it comes to owning a business. Choosing to do business with a company that values their financial stability, presents themselves professionally and does quality work backed by a warranty, can be the best decision you make! Sometimes pricing that sounds too good to be true, is too good, more often than not. There are absolutely ways to cut-down the cost of plumbing, as long as you don’t sacrifice quality at the same time. A business that does low quality work and does not offer a warranty, may not be around when you have future issues or need them to follow-up on their job. Finding the right balance of working with a stable, professional company who does quality work with a sense of value is the ultimate combination to look for!
