I like that you mentioned to make sure the company you hire is insured. That way, you can make sure that you are both covered in the event of an accident. I am trying to find a plumber to help me with my bathroom remodel. I will definitely ask about insurance as I search. 9/28/2017 11:33:57 am
Insurance is so important. Were you able to find the right plumber for the job? We see that you're from Australia. It's great to connect with you! 9/28/2017 11:30:41 am
That's a great point, Scott. We see that you're a plumbing company from Modesto, California. It's always nice to connect with other plumbers. Have a great day! 10/13/2017 12:02:07 pm
I like that you mention the importance of being able to call a 24/7 plumber because you never know when you may have a plumbing emergency.

It's awesome that you talked about how a professional company can usually show really well according to how well their website looks.

I totally agree with what you said about hiring a professional plumber that is both licensed and reputable. It is recommended that you choose someone that has been in the business for many years and has established themselves as one of the most trusted in the industry. You may also want to verify with the BBB if the company indeed has outstanding credentials. You certainly would like to work with someone reliable and trustworthy. If I were to look for a plumber, I would make sure to keep this in mind. Thanks. 3/21/2018 12:30:36 am
