Things to Look Out for When Looking for a Reliable Plumbing Contractor

Choosing the best plumbing contractor for your needs can be time-consuming, but it is worthwhile to look for one as a professional and reliable plumber can remove all worries from your repair requirements – whether small or big. While looking for a contractor, you have to know what you should look for exactly. There are numerous plumbers and plumbing agencies to be found, but looking out for the following 5 things can help you to choose a reliable one for your needs.

Licensing

Look at the plumbing contractor profile and check if they are licensed by the PUB.  In Singapore, it may be a legal requirement for plumbers – including contractors and sub-contractors – to get a PUB license when they are handling plumbing works of a certain scale. However, if it’s normal household plumbing works that are required, you most likely do not have to worry too much if the plumber is not licensed with PUB.

Accreditation

Find out whether the Singapore plumbing company is registered with the authorized plumbing authority. Contractors who are members of such organizations are likely to be updated on new codes and regulations. And you can have an ease of mind when they handle your works as such company has to comply with the rules and regulations of the society.

Insurance

Check whether the plumbing service company is insured by a reputed and reliable financial organization. With sufficient insurance, you can be assured of coverage and compensation in case something goes awry during work. Sufficient insurance will also take care of any personal injury claims by any of the plumbers on meeting with an accident in your house. Do not simply take the contractor’s word for it. Check the insurance proof. Check the proof of general liability insurance and workman’s compensation to keep you covered.

Rates

Keep in mind that the billing of plumbing contractors is not always limited to hourly rates. Some plumber contractors in Singapore have a flat rate, while others charge as per material and time. While getting a cost estimate, ask the company to list all the charges in detail – such as the number of fixtures, time taken for repair/installation, etc.

Testimonials

A reliable plumbing contractor will have good reviews about their works, and these reviews are usually presented either on their webpage or on certain review websites on the web. For a company, it is usually found on their websites, so it is important to look through the company’s profile before engaging them.
