- Range of services
Fixing a leak in a tap even a lay-person can do. But when its about things including the entire kitchen plumbing repairs and residential drain cleaning that things start to get complicated. Pulling out rotten and rusted pipes, jetting sewers etc is the kind of range only someone experienced can provide. To come across a truly accomplished plumber, one ought to see the range of services. If the residential plumbing repairs and plumbing services also do things like fixing the bath water-heater, draining and servicing it as also recommends and fixes the water softener, you have a reasonable assurance of being in safe hands.
- Years of services
A newbie residential plumbing repairs could be just that. A newbie. Without experience, he/ she/ they may not be aware of the complexities that lie beneath or in hidden corners of one’s home-piping systems. It is thus good to deal with someone who has dealt with nasty surprises to such an extent that they have stopped being “surprises” and are in fact, routine. Plumbing services are also supposed to know quite well the working and fixing of cooking gas lines which as we know contain gases including methane. One wrong/ ill-timed move and home and hearth can be lost forever! For this reason, it makes sense to find affordable and quality residential plumbing services.
- What other clients have to say
Success speaks for itself and should ideally come from the horse’s mouth! Where the work is good and beyond expectation, it should ideally be a shout! And if it is, the said residential plumbing repair service should be approached for a yearly contract. To the extent possible, the contract should speak about what all is the scope of the contract, it’s duration, KRAs and penalties.
- Certifications
Experience some say, is a higher form of certification. That said, without experience no one gets a certification of any value. It’s precisely for this reason that one should approach residential plumbing services with proper authority-recognized certifications given by the country and state bodies.
- Equipment owned
Take for instance the camera which goes visiting inside home drainage systems to ascertain the exact location and type of blockage(s). It’s quite an investment and calls for some serious amount of money to be set aside. Do you think any and every plumbing and cleaning service has the where-with-all to own such equipment or for that matter a jetting pump or an automatic pipe laying machine? These need money to procure and are the preserve of those who have experience and substance on them which comes with time and a body of work. So, ideally, go with plumbing repair services who own the right equipment which invariably shows their worth and seriousness towards their work.
- Bank and financial status
If the above does not satisfy you, and the work at hand may call for substantial outlays, be blunt to ask for bank and financial status and letters of recommendations. Where put together these show a plumbing and cleaning service in the right light, go for it!
