If plumbing is not properly done, it can cause premature failure or injury. In the long run, it is more cost effective to hire a professional for minor or major jobs. A licensed professional will also warranty the labor and parts. This is not the case if you do the work yourself.
Plumbing requires knowledge in experience in a wide variety of fields such as:
- Gas stoves
- Gas plumbing
- Washers
- Troubleshooting Leaks
- Pipe and fitting installation
Licensed and Trained Plumbers
Let’s face it, it is expensive to own a home and it can be tempting to attempt the job yourself or hire the cheapest contractor. This may provide comfort and save you money in the short term, but could be costly in the long run. In most cases you get what you pay for. An untrained contractor is usually unaware that they are doing a repair incorrectly or skipping important steps. The same applies if you are doing it yourself. A licensed and trained professional knows every job very well and has continual education. A licensed professional may cost more, but you will have peace of mind that the job was done right.
Licensed plumbing companies possess the proper tools and equipment to do the job. They also know how to use the tools. The best tools are useless if you don’t know how to use them. Most people don’t have the wide variety of tools that are required to properly complete a plumbing repair. Also, some tools and equipment that you may own could be sub-standard. The same can be said for cheap contractors.
Licensed plumbers have a reputation to keep and strive for quality and long term solutions. A bad review by a customer can have a tremendous effect on a company. For example, trained professionals will not only clear your backed up toilet, but they will troubleshoot and fix the cause. If you or an untrained contractor were doing the work, it could take many attempts to find the root cause. In many cases you may have to call a licensed professional to correct the problem. You could have saved money and time by hiring a licensed plumber from the start.
