Finding the Right Plumber 

Plumbing Tip #7

"Finding the Cheapest Can Cost You Big Time" 

Plumber: 

A plumber is much more than a fellow or lady who shows up to fix a leak or to replace a hot water heater. As a group, they are a first line of defense in guarding the nation’s health. All that they need to know and what they do will boggle your mind. (articles.directorym.com)

• A mistake by a plumber can result in water damage, but could also cause a death by disease or by poison gas.
• A pro can do the job correctly, and the customer will not have any future problems.
• A hack can leave a nightmare behind them that will take a pro to make right. Plumbers with good references are a necessity in this day and age.
• The jobs have just become too complex for a poorly trained plumber.  (articles.directorym.com)

     Getting a state plumbing license and paying for liability insurance and

workman' s compensation certainly isn't for our financial benefit....  

 So why are we state licensed and fully insured? 

Because LEIGH PLUMBING has integrity and cares about its reputation.  It is imperative that your plumber values his or her reputation more than anything else.  Because what this really says about your plumbing company is this: it values YOU. 

Everything else will fall into place if your plumbing company values you: quality service, knowledge and warrantees on parts and labor.

When your plumber is state licensed and insured, he or she must abide by state codes and must meet certain training standards and certifications.  And when your plumber carries full coverage liability insurance, that means YOU are protected. 

*It also means that you can get Bio-Clean from your plumber. Only licensed plumbers are allowed to sell Bio-Clean.  I think that is Bio-Clean's insurance that its own excellent reputation is safe-guarded, too. 

Please... use caution when you select a service company or handyman to do any kind of work in your home or business.  Even if your handyman or "side-work professional" does possess skills, accidents DO happen, and manufacturers sometimes produce sub-standard parts and fixtures.  

If anything does go awry...if a pipe bursts because it was not soldered properly, or installations were not up to code...who is going to pay for the damages or losses?  

Remember, state licensed plumbers have to abide by state laws and codes.  Unlicensed plumbers do not.  Your legal recourses if there are damages might be minimal; perhaps even non-existent.  And even if damages were legally assigned to your handyman, with what funds would restitution be paid from?   

Does your homeowner insurance coverage extend to unlicensed plumbers, electricians, carpenters and HVAC installers?  Are you 100% certain?

And last, but not least, a "good" reference from friends or relatives might not carry much weight with your insurance company when deciding whether or not to pay for damages.   

So, please, choose wisely; not frugally.  Choosing according to a "save by the hour" mentality could end up costing you thousands.
