If you’ve found a wet spot on your floor, odds are that you’re eager to get your slab leak repair professional to work. But don’t let desperation force you into an unwise decision. If you haven’t worked with this plumber before, it pays to ask a few questions when you’re looking over the contract.
1. Are You Licensed?
Before you trust someone with your hard-earned cash and with your home, it’s common sense to make sure that they actually have training in their area of expertise. Your plumber should be licensed, and should display their license number prominently. (Our license number is available on our website.)
2. Can I See Some References?
Quality plumbers should have plenty of satisfied customers in their history, and they should be able to provide references and testimonials. You shouldn’t be reduced to simply Googling for information about your plumber (although that’s a good idea, too). We’re proud of our customer service record, and you can find many testimonials on our website.
3. Who Bills Insurance?
If you intend to submit a claim to your homeowner’s insurance, be sure to begin sooner rather than later. Don’t assume that your plumber is going to bill your insurance for you; most often, you will need to submit the claim to your insurance yourself, although your plumber may work with you to facilitate that. Be clear on who is responsible for each part of the insurance process, to avoid unexpected expense. (We have extensive experience working with insurance companies, and can help you through the process.)
