Finding a Local Plumber

There is nothing worse than a plumbing emergency. One minute all is well and the next thing you know...you are in desperate need of an expert in drain cleaning or leak detection. And to compound the problem, you don't have a plumber you can rely on! If you are a resident in South Florida, finding a trustworthy, experienced plumber in the area can be difficult. Just by looking in the phone book, one becomes overwhelmed all over again. So, how does one find reliable plumbing services?

First, ask friends and family for a recommendation. People close to us generally want what is best for us. They should be able to share experiences and provide the name of a company worth hiring. Word of mouth is powerful advertising.

Secondly, check online. The most efficient local plumbers usually have positive comments and accurate statements on how they have performed. The Better Business Bureau and Angie's List are also good references. Companies who are part of the BBB or Angie's List tend to be credible and are held accountable to their customers. When a customer complains, a company that wishes to remain part of these elite organizations will do whatever is in their power to rectify the situation. A reputable company wants to stay in good standing with not only these organizations, but also with customers.

Third, don't be afraid to ask the plumbing company questions. Ask for three references. This step does not take long and is often overlooked. If a plumbing company is truly experienced and trustworthy, it should be easy to find previous customers to validate their reputation. Next, ask how long the company has been in business. Knowledge is gained through experience. If you should meet the plumber in person, take note on their appearance and personality, as it can be an indication on the quality of job they will perform. Also, make sure to compare rates.

Ask for additional charges, such as trip charge and material cost. It can sometimes be a shock to see how high a bill can skyrocket when one is expecting something such as 'affordable hourly rates'. Avoid unnecessary sticker shock. It is always best to know what to expect before the plumbing services even begin. By taking these simple steps, one can find a reputable, trustworthy local plumber that takes pride in their services. We look forward to serving you and being your first choice for plumbing or AC service in the future.
