Owning a home requires constant upkeep, and I understand why people want to minimize expenses and save time. But one area where you should never cut corners is your plumbing. Let me explain why you should choose a high-quality professional plumber when a problem arises.
Plumbers bring expertise to every problem
Sometimes a clogged sink is just that, other times it’s a sign of a bigger plumbing problem in your home. Not every repairman will know how to spot the difference.
While a less-expensive handyman might be able to solve some simple problems, they don’t have the in-depth knowledge necessary to identify underlying plumbing issues. On the other hand, professional plumbers undergo thousands of hours of training and practical experience. They have the education and the know-how to easily deduce whether that clogged sink is a minor problem or an indicator of a major one.
When you hire a plumbing professional, you’ll be confident that the technician got to the heart of your plumbing issue and solved it correctly.
Professional plumbers do the job right the first time
Oro Pro Plumbing’s technicians arrive at every job with a truck fully stocked with plumbing repair supplies—even for the most simple jobs. That’s because we know that those “simple jobs” can quickly turn into something more complicated.
It’s frustrating for homeowners when a technician can’t finish the job on the first visit, either because he doesn’t have the correct parts or doesn’t have the right tools. From the homeowner’s perspective, this means taking more time off work and spending more money on repeat repair appointments.
Professional plumbers are licensed, bonded and insured
Licensed plumbers must demonstrate that they understand and comply with state and local plumbing regulations. That means you can be assured that all plumbing work done on your home is performed correctly and to code. Plumbing that fails to meet standards is not only a health and safety hazard, it can also cause problems when you try to resell or renovate your home.
In conclusion
A “cash-only” handyman may seem like a cheaper option, but there is a clear trade-off in security and peace of mind. When you hire a licensed, experienced plumber, you’ll have a fully equipped professional who has the necessary tools on hand to quickly assess and address your plumbing situation. In the long run, it’s more cost effective than hiring a handyman for multiple visits.
