Warranty/guarantee

A good plumber should guarantee their work. It is valid if in written. The guarantee helps you big time if at all you are not satisfied with the final work. Always keep a copy of a signed guarantee agreement.

Referrals

Get you done by people you trust and know. If you are not sure of any good plumber, get referrals. A good number of plumbers will be okay with giving you referrals, so that get to hear what other clients have to say about them. Choose a plumber with much good feedback.

Insurance

The worker you are hiring must have a liability insurance and a workers compensation. This will provide coverage in case of an accident. You will have to be responsible for medical bills and related costs if otherwise.
