How should you go about choosing a commercial plumber 

You should first create several options of plumbers in your area and than compare a few against each other. There are several factors to consider when hiring a professional plumber:

They should have good ratings on review sites

When looking for a new commercial plumber check out review sites like Google or Yelp. Just type in commercial  plumber near me or use the zip code or milage tool to create a search area near you. This will return a number search results for commercial plumbers in your area. Once you have a few plumbers to choose from check out their star ratings. This measures in stars who good or bad a company is. These rating systems aren’t perfect and in some cases their have been fake reviews. However for the most part they are generally accurate. 4 stars or higher is the general for suitable candidates. Once you’ve looked over a chosen a few right the names names down and read more about each company on their website and read some reviews. Streamline Plumbing has many 5 star reviews and many repeat customer.

They should possess a decent amount of commercial plumbing experience

One of the most important factors when hiring a commercial plumber is experience. All plumbers need a certain amount of experience in commercial plumbing to consider being trusted to do jobs consistently and properly. Streamline Plumbing ahs been in Orange county for over 25 years. Real world training is vital to a plumber gaining experience and to be able to access plumbing problems and provide solutions. All expert plumber must go through an extensive training program where they are an apprentice for many years before becoming professional plumber. We advise that you should only pick plumbers for commercial work that have at least 2 or more years of real world experience.

All Plumbers Should Have Insurance

This is one of the most important things when selecting a potential commercial plumber. A plumber commercial or not needs to be insured. Insurance that a plumber has can protect you or your business from damage to your property. This same insurance will protect one of the plumbers or you if either is injured while the plumbing job is being done. If s plumber doesn’t  have insurance you may end up being held liable as the client for both damages and injuries should they arise. Without insurance both you as the client and your plumber may be subjected to lawsuits. Before hiring any plumber make sure they are insured for liability and workers comp insurance. In most states like California they are required by law and you are able to check with  the state. 

They Should be relatively close to your business

Most people take into account the location of a business before considering hiring them. Generally the closer a plumber is to your business the easier it is, especially in California since traffic here is a nightmare. Usually businesses within a 20 miles radius is considered acceptable. travel costs may be part of the job that the plumber is doing s this should be considered before hiring a plumber that is further than 20 miles away. The only exception is if someone comes highly  recommended for a particular job. There are hundreds of plumbers in every area so you should have no trouble finding finding one within a 20 mile radius of your business.

They Should Fit Your Budget

Comparing estimates is a good way to consider what plumber to choose. There are no regulations as to what a plumber can charge for services. Since there are no regulations there can be a huge swing in what one plumber charges rather than another. Speaking with a plumber having them give you an estimate is the only way to determine the cost of a commercial plumbing project. All plumber will provide estimates that should include itemized items like labor, material costs, and any additional fees like travel expenses. You should receive several estimates you should compare them against each other. Just because a plumber charges less doesn’t mean they are the one you should hire. Doing your due  diligence and compare and make sure you hire the plumber that fits your needs not just based on price.

They Should Provide Warranties

This is the last ting to consider when choosing a plumber. If a plumbing company doesn’t provide warranties they shouldn’t be considered for the work. A warranty will protect you as the customer and the work if something unexpected happens. For example, if a newly installed pipe starts to leak the warranty should be used and you as the customer should not have to pay another cent for a repair or replacement. All warranties should be up front in any plumbing contract. Warranties should include not only the work but the materials as well.
