Choose Your Plumber Carefully
by Kevin Smith AuthorBefore the last box is unpacked, every new homeowner should
begin assembling a team of specialists to help keep the house in working order.
Most homeowners don't have the knowledge to deal with the more complex working
parts of a home, such as electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, and need to rely on
service technicians to maintain these parts of the home. You should begin the
process of assembling your own crew of technicians before you have an
emergency, since rational decisions are hard to come by when you're standing in
ankle-deep water in the living room. Start building your crew early on and
develop a good working relationship with them. There are several items to
consider when searching for plumbers in Gainesville, GA.
What to Consider
- Since
systems have a tendency to break at the most inconvenient times, it's best
to search for a company that offers emergency 24/7 service as standard.
- You want
to use a company that can install systems as well as maintain them, since you may want to upgrade your plumbing in the future.
- The company should be licensed, certified, and reliable.
- The
staff should be comprised of skilled technicians who have years of
training.
- Check
their website to discover their range of services and read the
testimonials from satisfied customers. The company should guarantee your
satisfaction.
- Make
sure the company uses only name brand products when installing a new
system, and can offer the manufacturer's warranty as well as their
own.
- The
company should be a member of the local Chamber of Commerce or the Better
Business Bureau in your area.
- Membership
in a professional organization, such as the Associated Builders &
Contractors (ABC) means the company makes an effort to keep on top of the
industry trends and their staff is up to date technically.
- Check
unbiased websites, such as Home Advisor or Angie's List, to get a true
picture of the company and their rates as compared to others in the
area.
- The
company should offer a semi-annual maintenance program to keep all your
systems operating at peak performance.
- Schedule
a visit with the company under consideration to see how they perform
before signing any long-term arrangement. They should do the work you've requested,
but should check the systems in place and point out any deficiencies and
suggest improvements, but should not pressure you to do more than what
you've hired them to do.
These are a few of the considerations you should take into
account when searching for plumbers
in Gainesville, GA.
