Emergency Plumber Tips And Preparation
Since I've been in the construction business and know a
lot about plumbing, I've never needed to hire an emergency plumber, but
for those who have, this could be a traumatizing experience. I was
working on a house once where the wash machine drain was plugged and it
wasn't even an emergency and the plumbing company charged the homeowner
$250 and was only there for about 15 minutes.
If you don't have an emergency, you have plenty of time to contact as
many plumbing companies as you need. If there is an emergency situation,
you're not going to have as much time to call three or four plumbers to
get an estimate. It's an emergency and you need someone right now and
that someone is probably going to be the first plumber that you call.
If you call the plumber with the biggest advertisement or the one that's
at the top of the list, there's a good chance that you're going to pay a
lot of money to have them handle your
home emergency situation. These
plumbing companies are usually at the top of the list or have the
largest ads, because they have the most money to advertise and need to
charge more money for their services, so that they can get more business
and make more money.
If you're not interested in paying these plumbers more money than you
have to, you need to contact as many as necessary, until you find one
that charges reasonable wages. You might have to call 35 plumbing
contractors, until you find at least three of them that seem reasonable
and can deal with 24 hour plumbing emergencies.
Think about it like this, if it took you five hours to create an
emergency plumbing companies list of at least three qualified plumbers
and you had one home damage emergency, you could get all of your money
back during one plumbing emergency. However you look at it, you must
make a home damage emergency list of plumbing companies and other
contractors, so that you don't get caught in the middle of a stressful
situation, once it happens.
