Don’t hire a plumber who isn’t licensed
It’s 2017, and the internet is a part of virtually every single thing that we do. When we need a plumbing professional, we pull out our smartphones, and type (or ask) “plumber near me.” This goes the same for mechanics, contractors, electricians, and so much more. Before, we flipped through the Yellow Pages for the number of the first professional we could find and rang them up on our landline.
The internet makes it much easier to find a quality plumber or other professional who fits the profile of what you need, and you usually have a ton to choose from. However, while it’s easy to come across a licensed professional, it’s also easy to come across someone who is fraudulent or not certified to do what you’re hiring them to do. That could be dangerous. For plumbing, in particular, you should always inquire about certifications ASAP! Here’s why.
Do you really want them in your home?
When you hire somebody licensed, you can rest assured when they’re working inside of your home that they’re not going to steal things, or worse. Usually, licenses are expensive and if one is revoked, the entire business is going to go down. Not only are our plumbers moral people who would never think about stealing from clients, but they also know that if they do, they will be caught, fired, and sent to jail. We can’t afford to hire shady plumbers who aren’t licensed and certified to be at your house!
When you hire somebody who isn’t licensed, however, the process of tracking them down and seeking justice is much harder. First, do you even know who they are? Second, they don’t have oversight and nobody is keeping tabs on the homes that they’ve been visiting. All of our plumbers are well-trusted, so you can feel good about them working in your home.
