Dealing with a Plumbing Emergency
When your pipes have burst or your toilet is broken, you need someone who can act swiftly. This is probably not the time to bring in a one man operation. Instead, you want a plumbing operation with a sizeable service fleet, so that you know someone will be out to your home shortly.
Most plumbing emergencies, if not remedied quickly, can cause substantial damage to your home and belongings. You want a plumbing company that will take your call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This doesn’t mean that the plumbing company has its doors open at all times, but you want a plumber who has an answering service, where you will have the opportunity to talk with a live person and explain the nature of your problem. You also want to know that the answering service will immediately call someone to respond to your emergency.
Even though you are dealing with an emergency, you still want to know that the plumber you hire has then necessary knowledge, skill and experience to fix your problem. It’s okay to ask if the plumber is licensed, insured and certified. You will probably be in better hands with someone who asks a lot of questions before coming out, rather than someone who just shows up, as this will likely be an indicator of their level of expertise.
Even though you have an emergency, you still want to be treated fairly. Get clarification before the plumber comes out as to how much you will be charged for the visit.
