How to Hire a Plumber

Are you new to the Indianapolis area? Maybe you’re a first-time homeowner now in charge of all things home maintenance? No matter what has you looking for a good plumber, it’s important to take the time to choose one that’s reputable. We at Indy Renovation recommend that you go through this process when choosing a plumber—and don’t forget to include us in your search!

We understand that plumbing emergencies arise, and you may just need to get the first plumber to come to your home. However, the following tips should help you avoid making a quick decision and getting less-than-superior workmanship or customer service, whether it’s for an emergency situation or for larger bathroom remodeling projects that aren’t pressing.

1. Get input from family and friends.

Do you have family who has lived in Indy for a while? Or maybe you have friends, neighbors, or co-workers who can offer a recommendation? Gather as many referrals as you see fit so you have a good starting point for finding a quality plumber.

2. Take time for comparison.

Get on the plumbing companies’ websites, and gather as much information as you can about the business and their services. Pay attention to customer reviews, the plumber’s credentials, membership in professional trade organizations, and any other signs that point to a quality plumber.

3. Interview at least three plumbers.

Whether in person or over the phone, get a consultation and estimate from at least three plumbers. Be sure to ask any questions you might have, and get a feel for the plumbers’ professionalism and customer service.

4. Narrow down your options.

After your research and interviews, try to eliminate plumbers who didn’t make the grade. From there, you can compare estimates and choose the plumber with whom you feel most comfortable.
