7 Things to Look for in a Plumbing Company

Trusting a plumber with your home is a big responsibility, one that Bonney Plumbing does not take lightly. We hold ourselves to the highest industry standards to protect our customers and our community. However, not every plumbing company cares as much as we do. Whether you have recently moved or are looking for something new, finding the right plumber in your area can be a challenge. It is important to consider the below seven qualities when trusting a plumber in your home.  

Reliable and Experienced Professionals

Perhaps the most important characteristic to look for in your next plumbing company is reliability and experience. How long has the plumbing company you are considering been in business? Consider reading local reviews – including those on Google, BBB and Facebook, checking out the company’s resources, reviewing their certifications, and visiting their social media channels to hear what others are saying about your next plumbing company.  We recommend checking out a variety of sites, as some review platforms are limited in perspective. Comprehensive research may help you gauge a true reflection of the company’s performance. 

Extensive Service Offerings

Within the plumbing industry alone, there are several different service types and offerings that your home may need. You want to look for a plumbing company that does it all while staying in touch with the latest plumbing practices, such as with tankless water heaters, water recirculation pumps, and efficient plumbing offerings. 

Additionally, many different elements of your plumbing systems and your home overlap. For example, certain plumbing issues may require sewer and drain experts. Similarly, plumbing leaks can create mold that impacts your air quality, which can involve your heating and cooling system, which can affect your electrical systems, and so on. Jumping around to various businesses when facing an overlapping home issue can make a stressful problem even more challenging and costly. Instead, consider partnering with a one-stop company that offers plumbing in addition to other related home services offerings. 

Plumbing Coupons, Promotions, and Discounts

When you need a plumbing service, you will likely want to save as much money as possible on any visits and repairs. It is helpful to find a plumbing company that offers coupons, discounts, rebates, and promotions in addition to everyday affordable prices. These pricing amendments can help you save money and feel confident that your money is well spent. 

Plumbing Maintenance Contracts

It is more efficient, convenient, and effective to rely on preventative maintenance rather than repairs. With plumbing maintenance, an expert will inspect your plumbing systems for issues, checking your faucets, toilets, water pressure, garbage disposal, sink connections, drains, exposed water lines, and more. They will also provide cost-saving routine care, including your annual water heater flush. This can help prevent severe issues from occurring, such as leaks and water damage. This service can save you even more money when it comes in a maintenance contract. 

Large Services: New Water Heaters, Remodeling, and More

While you might think it is a given, not all plumbers sell new water heaters or offer extensive installations. Some plumbing businesses only offer repairs and other small services. When you are due for a water heater replacement, this could make the buying process more challenging for you. Think long-term when partnering with a new plumbing company. Make sure they have all of the large services you may need down the road, including new water heaters, bathroom renovations/remodeling, water system maintenance, and slab leak repairs. 

Adaptable Plumbing Businesses

The changing times call for adaptations in businesses’ approaches. Look for plumbing companies that have kept up with the latest practices and introduced new offerings, such as virtual plumbing consultations. This service allows you the convenience of connecting with an expert via video conferencing. After showing them your plumbing concern, they will let you know if a home visit is necessary. By offering new and innovative services, an adaptable plumbing business can save you time, hassle, and money. 

Comprehensive Service Areas

When you find a plumbing company you trust, you will likely want to make sure they will be around for a while – especially with the current economic environment. If you partner with a plumbing company that has a wide range of service areas, you will be able to work with them even when you move throughout the area. This also lets you help out friends and family members who may live nearby when they need a trusted plumber recommendation.
