Plumbing emergencies happen, often at the worst time –
- You flush your toilet and it overflows, spilling sewage onto the floor. Just then the doorbell rings – your friends have arrived early.
- You return home after a long peaceful vacation. As you open the garage, you find the sheetrock ceiling is now laying on the floor and everything is soaked. While you were away, a pipe froze and burst.
- It’s Thanksgiving and your family is gathered around the table for dinner. Just as you wash your hands to join them, the kitchen faucet breaks and starts spraying water high into the air like it’s a Hollywood movie.
- You’re already running late but you hop into the shower only to realize there’s no hot water and the drain is backed up.
When we find ourselves in a situation like these, we get on the internet and start desperately searching for “emergency plumber near me”.
Don’t Wait for a Plumbing Emergency
The worst time to start looking for a plumber is when the situation is dire. The last thing you want to do is hire a plumber only to find out they’re not qualified, they’re not insured, or they can’t even do what you’re asking of them. Don’t settle for someone mediocre just because you need someone right away.
It’s Important to Plan Ahead
Find a plumber BEFORE you actually need one:
- carefully research plumbers in your area
- read their profiles and reviews
- narrow the list down and call several
- ask them important questions, check their track record and credentials
- find out what they specialize in & what services they offer
Save the Phone Number
What do you do after finding a good, reliable, trustworthy, qualified plumber? You store their information in your phone! This is important and worth repeating – Take a moment and enter the contact information of your plumber into your phone. Doing this will:
- save you time
- help you avoid hassles
- reduce risk
- and could save you money
Save Time:
In an emergency, every minute counts. Don’t waste valuable time on the internet researching plumbers, calling around and trying to find anyone that can come right away. Instead, pick up the phone and just tap your plumber’s phone number. They will be on the way before you could even begin researching “emergency plumber near me”.
Avoid Hassles:
Again, it’s an emergency. Your toilet is spilling out onto the floor because your child has decided to send GI Joe on a spelunking mission. The last thing you want is to do is call plumber, after plumber, after plumber trying to find one who’s available at 3am.
Reduce Risk:
The best time to prepare for a plumbing emergency is before it happens. I know, it’s cliché. But doing your homework beforehand can significantly reduce your risk of hiring the wrong plumber (someone who could make the problem worse).
During an emergency, you don’t have time to read through plumber reviews and see if they have handled a situation like yours. You don’t have time to go through the 10 questions you should ask before hiring a plumber.
Instead, you’ve done this ahead of time – You’ve vetted plumbers and found a good qualified company who can handle whatever life throws your way.
Save Money
By already knowing a good plumber before an emergency takes place, you don’t open yourself up to questionable plumbers who might take advantage of your emergency $$$$ situation.
Instead, you’re able to immediately call your plumber and move on to handling other things – like protecting your assets from further water/sewage damage.
