What questions should I ask a plumbing contractor?

<div>Before <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-questions-ask-hiring-plumber.htm">finding the right plumber for your job</a>, there are a few questions that you should ask, including: <ul><li>Are you licensed and insured?</li><li>Do you charge for estimates? </li><li>Is your fee a flat rate, or is it hourly?</li><li>Who will do the work? Are they all licensed and qualified plumbers?</li><li>What happens if any breaks or damages occur?</li><li>What is your response time in an emergency? </li><li>Is cleanup included in the quote?</li><li>Do your services come with a guarantee?</li></ul>Discussing these questions with your plumbing contractor will help eliminate future issues and clarify expectations. </div>

Should I clean before the plumber comes?

<div>Before your plumber pays you a visit, it’s a good idea to clean up any boxes, garbage, or other obstacles that could be in their way. In addition, it’s best practice to clean the area that needs to be inspected or worked on, like a toilet, for example. Make sure to keep kids and pets out of the way once the plumber arrives.</div>

How much are typical plumbing repair costs?

Simple fixes, such as a toilet repair, will be less expensive at around $150 to $400. However, if you have a pipe that has burst, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $4,000 or more. The project that needs to be completed, the size of your home, and the type of plumbing pipes you have can all impact the final cost. External factors such as supply chain issues and shortage of materials all play a part in how much this repair might be.</div>

"Contacted Fountain Plumbing for a job at one of our rent houses, as our property management division is in the market for a new plumbing company. Spoke to Evelyn to schedule the job, Kenneth the next morning to schedule the job and provide details on the problem, and a week later they still have not visited the tenant, rescheduled the job nor returned our phone calls / messages. We spend about $25K / year on plumbing expenses and will continue looking elsewhere. I can’t comment on the quality of their work but their scheduling process & lack of follow up is not compatible with our needs."

"I wanted some planters hung on my deck in my RV. I had 2 new rocking chair from amazon, he decided to use his own screws and a power tool. he power tooled one of the rocker and it can't be used because it's broken. He took one of the power hose and plug it on the wrong place, it was plugged on the hole where the electricity was all connected. I needed him to hang a small shelf on my bathroom and I showed him a video on how to do it. He told he knows how to do it because he lived on an rv before as well. He actually ended up putting 4 holes on my rv because he doesn't know what he was doing. I was scared of him because I am 64 years old and especially with my hip. His attitude and demeanor made me afraid of him and his box cutter."
