Plumber

When you decide to call a plumber, find a few things out before you hire anyone. Angi (formerly Angie’s List) has an article, 7 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Plumber. One question that is easy to overlook is whether the plumber is insured. You want their policy to cover physical damage or an accident on your property.

Before you agree to the job

Final cost is unknown until the plumber gives you a quote based on actually seeing the job, although they should be able to give you a ballpark estimate over the phone. Take a little time for due diligence. It is easy to overpay for the work, and it is easy to get sub-standard work from unlicensed people.
