Has your do-it-yourself plumbing repair taken a turn for the worse?

Perhaps its time to call a certified and experienced plumbing technician to help come and save the day.. and the key words I must stress in this sentence are “certified and “experienced” !!!

So you’ve made the call to a plumbing company. You have checked their ratings with the Better Business Bureau, done all your home work on the company. You intuitively feel that your comfortable with having the plumbing company over to do your repair.

Make sure before your certified plumber starts your job that you understand clearly what the scope of work entails.

YIKES…You don’t want a situation like that ! or like this:

Some other points you will need to know are:

1. How long will it take to do the work? As much as we love our plumbers, do we really need them to become temporary house guests?

2. The price of the work? What work does this price include and does not include?

3. You should also have a written quotation or invoice which details the scope of work that is going to be done.

DON’T be afraid to ask as many questions as you need too. You should also do a walk-through before and after with your Vancouver plumber . Make sure that you both are on the same page and there are no miscommunications.

Good Luck to everyone in any future plumbing repairs you may encounter !
