The Plumbing Hunt Begins: Need a local Plumber - A simple search revealed the myriads of local plumber companies, lone wolves and shade tree plumbers. We already decided we didn't want to use a major company. Large companies have much more overhead than a one-man operation, and they hire employees that may not be of the same talent level as a local plumber whose business rests upon his own skills. |

Everything
about our vacation in the Rockies went according to plan, but not our arrival
back in Atlanta. We came home to a flooded house, and what we feared would be a
big plumbing repair bill.
Once
the basement drained, the water shut off, and the carpet ripped out, we were
still in need of a lot of work to get things back to normal. Our first priority
was our need for a local plumber to see to the plumbing repairs so that we
could turn the water back on and regain at least some civility.
We
did what everyone does when it's time to find a good local plumber: we hit the
yellow pages. Okay, we didn’t have a copy of the yellow pages- we hit Google.
Hopefully, we thought, our dream
master plumber
has gotten with the modern age and listed his business online. A local plumber
in our area usually has the reputation for being manually rather than
technically inclined, but this is no complaint; we needed
plumbing repair savvy, not internet savvy.
Choices, Choices: Hire a Plumber- A Good
Plumber
A
simple search revealed the myriads of
local
plumber companies, lone wolves and shade tree plumbers. We already decided
we didn't want to use a major company. Large companies have much more overhead
than a one-man operation, and they hire employees that may not be of the same
talent level as a local plumber whose business rests upon his own skills.
Granted,
we also realized that this was a risky move. A full-scale plumbing company has
much better insurance if anything goes wrong, and if any plumbers find
themselves stumped, they have superiors to fall back on. Also, in the absolute
worst case, if we feel we've been cheated, a well-established
plumbing contractor company is much
more capable of compensating us if we end up in court for any reason.
So
with this in mind, we had to remember that we were navigating a minefield, and
with this being our first foray into any plumbing needs beyond unclogging a toilet,
it was important to do some research and be as careful as possible in our search
for a local plumber.
But for all our forethought, we still didn't realize how tough it would be to actually find a good plumber. In the next entry, you'll get to hear all about the selection process, so stay tuned.
