5 Tips on Hiring the Right Plumber
Thompson Family Plumbing is your go-to choice for residential plumbing repair and installation throughout Lake Havasu City, AZ and Hesperia, CA.
Plumbing emergencies are never a good thing. In fact, household issues such as leaking faucets or burst pipes are a few things that give average homeowner’s nightmares. Hiring an inexperienced plumber will hardly help in such cases, and in fact, can sometimes make matters worse. It is, therefore, crucial that you hire an experienced and reputable plumbing company
If you want to ensure that your home’s plumbing gets the right treatment, we urge you to take the following into account before hiring any plumber.
1. Appropriate Licensing
One of the first things that you need to consider before hiring a plumbing company is whether or not they are licensed and certified by the state they work in. If the state you reside in does not require licensing, you need to look out for any formal complaints issued against them.
Thompson Family Plumbing and Drain takes pride in being a company wherein all the plumbers and employees are either family or close family friends. Further, they are not only licensed but also Crimshield-certified, so that you may rest assured you and your family are in safe hands.
2. Industry Experience
More often than not, considerable experience proves to be a plumber’s best ally. Therefore, it makes perfect sense to hire one who has been in business for several years. By engaging the services of an experienced plumber, you will only increase the likelihood of getting the job done right the first time around.
3. Total Cost
Always ask for an in-person estimate. Just as a doctor could never diagnose a patient over the phone, an honorable and reputable plumber cannot determine the scope of work over the phone either. Keep in mind that quality comes at a price. A licensed, skilled and experienced plumbing company may charge more than an unlicensed plumber, but you can almost always guarantee that they will do a better job and not cut any corners.
4. Emergency Response Time
When it comes to providing emergency plumbing services, a plumbing company should be able to make it available to fix the problem as soon as possible. This is the reason we provide 24/7 emergency plumbing services. We want to make sure our customers are covered no matter what time of the day it is.
5. References
Before you hire a plumber, ask him to provide you with a few references. Any reputable plumbing company should be able to provide references with ease, so do not hesitate to ask.
Conclusion
Good plumbers that keep their customers best interest in mind are hard to find. This is the reason Thompson Family Plumbing and Drain was started. Make sure to keep the above tips in mind to ensure that the plumber you hire is not only experienced at their job but that they can also solve your plumbing issues quickly and properly.

“Price was more than reasonable, especially last minute”
What a great local family company. Had a little issue today (Saturday). Gave them a call. The lady said she would have someone here between 3 & 5. It was at 1 when I called. 3:00 on the nose Don was here. Don was very friendly and had the broken pipe fixed in no time at all. The price was more than reasonable, especially last minute on a Saturday.

“Took care of it in no time”
Plumbing technician Dean Taylor came over last week to set up a line so I could get a dishwasher installed. I didn’t have the proper setup but he took care of it in no time! Now the installers will have no problem doing it. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely have him come back for other plumbing jobs. From start to finish everyone I spoke to was very helpful! Their customer service is outstanding!

“Gave me great peace of mind”
Great experience with TFP! They were super professional and friendly, exactly on time, fixed the issue, AND were inexpensive. I received a text when to expect them with a picture of my two technicians (Dean & Kade) AND their license numbers included in the text. This gave me great peace of mind as I am a woman that lives alone. I highly recommend Thompson Family Plumbing!
