Choosing a Plumber? Make It Easy With These Questions

When homeowners in Senoia and Peachtree have a plumbing leak, water pooling in the basement, or sewage problems, they need plumbing help — fast. Choosing a plumber isn’t easy when you have an emergency on your hands. It’s best to make the choice when you have time on your side to properly vet your options.

Don’t wait for an emergency to force your hand; get started choosing a plumber today with this list of questions:

What training do you require for your plumbers? Don’t work with a plumbing contractor that doesn’t have at least one master plumber on staff. This is the highest designation a plumber can get. To start out, a plumber must generally attend vocational school to earn an associate’s degree in plumbing. Then, the plumber must apprentice with an experienced master plumber before establishing a business or joining a plumbing company.

At Reliable Heating and Air, we employ only the best master plumbers, and we put our trainees through a rigorous apprenticeship program.

What is your range of plumbing expertise? In your lifetime, it’s possible for you to experience a gamut of plumbing issues in your home. You’ll want to establish a trusted relationship with a reputable plumber who can respond to any and all plumbing problems. Look for a plumber who specializes in residential applications, and deals with garbage disposals, sewage systems, water heaters, faucets and toilets, gas pipes, and leak detection.

At Reliable, our fast-growing plumbing department can handle all of your home plumbing needs.

What’s special about your company, and its history? A plumbing company’s humble beginnings and history can reveal a lot about the company’s values. If a plumber has been around for decades, you know that he or she has established a good reputation in the area. Longevity is often a good indication that the company treats its customers well.

What are your office hours? If you’ve got a plumbing emergency on your hands, waiting for a plumber is not an option. At Reliable, we know that plumbing emergencies are just that: dire emergencies. You need a plumbing professional on the scene ASAP, not tomorrow or in three hours.
