Why Should I Hire A Licensed Plumber?


No! The toilet is overflowing! Quick grab the plunger and all will be ok. Many homeowners have experienced the exact situation mentioned here. While a quick plunge to unclog a toilet might be helpful, it is still best to have a licensed plumber inspect the situation further. Sometimes a toilet that clogs on a regular basis can be a sign of something more serious. Below is a list of reasons you should hire a licensed plumber.

  • Control who comes into your house – These days the news is always reporting plumbing scams. This usually happens when unsuspecting homeowners decide to hire a plumber with the lowest prices. Or, choose to hire a neighbor or friend to do the job. Contacting a licensed plumbing company will assure they will send a professional that has passed a background check. This assures all customers that the person entering their home is safe and doesn’t have a criminal background or history.
  • Avoid further damage – Sometimes homeowners take the situation into their own hands and decide to do a DIY plumbing project. While most small DIY plumbing tasks are successful, serious issues can become worse. Choosing to do it yourself puts you at risk of making a mistake that could cause serious damage and result in an expensive repair bill. It’s always best to bring in a professional from the beginning.
  • Proper training – Licensed plumbers are required to study sewers, drains, water, piping materials, gas lines, equipment upgrades, billing codes, safety concerns and more. As you can imagine, plumbing can become a serious danger and harm your family. Sewer odor alone could cause you and your family to become sick in a variety of ways.
  • Save money – Saving money is on the mind of every homeowner. Nobody wants to pay higher prices for a job when they can find it for less. This topic is sensitive among homeowners. You might have already had a debate with your neighbor about it. While low prices are attractive you also need to consider the quality of the work and replacement parts. Sometimes replacement parts are not as durable as others and will require you to have it replaced on a regular basis. This can become more expensive than just paying the slightly higher price for the better-quality part from the beginning.

As a homeowner, you can see how important it is to hire a licensed plumber. It will keep your family safe, repair and replace parts, save you money and help you avoid a DIY mishap. Give us a call today for further assistance with all your plumbing needs.
