When it comes to remodeling your kitchen or bathroom, there are plenty of expenses to consider. Generally, the last thing most homeowners want is to pay an extra expense for a plumber. Some homeowners will attempt to take on the task themselves but often find themselves in a plumbing dilemma. Professional plumbers are essential to assist in challenging projects, such as adding a sink, shower, bathroom, or additional plumbing to a kitchen.
Emergency vs. Non-emergency
If you decide to use a plumber for remodeling, it is essential to know the services you need. While you might come across advertisements regarding emergency plumbing services, the cost of an on-call plumber is more than a regularly scheduled plumber. Understanding the difference between emergency plumbing and non-emergency plumbing can save you big.
Emergency Plumbing
Some residents might find themselves in dire need of a plumber. Whether they are experiencing a leak or another plumbing catastrophe, on-call plumbers will show up to take care of the issue within hours. If you need a quick solution to a problem, emergency plumbing can work fast to provide an efficient solution. While emergency plumbers are also more pricey, their services are vital and can save you hundreds in potential repairs.
Remodeling Plumbing
If you are planning a remodel in the future, remodeling plumbers can be scheduled for when you need them. When you need to insert a new toilet, sink, tub, or add plumbing to your kitchen, a plumber can be scheduled for a future date. For a remodeling project, you want to find a plumber that comes on time to complete the job you need. Scheduled work is different from emergency work and can be less expansive.
Check State Licensing
There are many plumbing companies out there that are not who you think they are. Some ‘plumbers’ are not licensed and might not be able to provide efficient services. Ensuring a plumber is licensed in a state is essential. Double-check the plumbing company before you sign with them to see if they have any complaints or unresolved issues against them.
Create a Plan
Outlining a plan is essential before calling in a plumber. Knowing what you want can help you convey to the plumber what you need done. When a plumber knows your vision, they can help make your dream a reality. Plumbers will help assist in ensuring that your project outlines match the pipe connections.
Receive Estimates
Price tags for plumbing services can be expensive. When calling around for the perfect plumber, be prepared to ask the right questions. Knowing the hourly rates of a plumber, including when they can start is essential. If a plumbing permit is needed, a company that can assist in providing you with a permit is ideal. Lastly, asking how long the job will take is vital.
