How to choose a plumber in Calgary
Whether you need help for a plumbing emergency or for a renovation, here are some tips and tricks for finding a plumber in Calgary.
Check with family, friends, and co-workers whether there is a plumber or pipefitter that they would recommend. A referral based on a job well-done is worth its weight in gold. You may also want to check online directories, such as this one, or your local chamber of commerce. If your plumbing job is due to new construction, ask your general contractor or builder for a recommendation.
Once you have identified a short-list of potential Calgary plumbers, meet with them one-on-one to discuss your specific plumbing accessories requirements. Generally, the plumber should come to you. Have him explain the problem and solution in general terms. If you don't understand, feel free to ask for clarification. Get a written estimate, including a schedule, and also ask for references.
Make sure that your Calgary plumber has the appropriate certifications for your province and is insured. Confirm his good standing with the better business bureau.
Once the job is done, have your plumber show it to you and explain what work was completed.
