Commercial plumbing differs significantly from residential plumbing in that downtime in your systems can affect your profits and bottom line. To ensure your plumbing needs are properly met and you receive the best possible commercial drain and sewer cleaning services, ask these six questions.
Is the commercial plumber license and insured?
Licensed plumbers are more likely to have the knowledge required to ensure your plumbing complies with building codes.
How long has the commercial plumber been in business?
Commercial plumbers with an extensive history can usually provide a longer list of favorable reviews from the community. They are also more likely to have experience fixing the plumbing in your specific type of business. Ideally, you’d like them to have experience in all areas of commercial plumbing from sewer line inspection and repair to drain and grease trap cleaning, so you can continue to call on the same company for future needs.
Many commercial plumbers offer preventive maintenance plans, so you can partner with them to keep your plumbing system running smoothly year-round.
Does the commercial plumber charge for estimates?
Always be aware of whether or not you’ll be charged for the inspection of the problem and the recommended solution. Some companies will charge for the assessment, while others will provide a free assessment and only charge for the work being done to resolve the problem.
Will the commercial plumber charge you an hourly rate or a flat fee for the project?
To avoid unnecessary charges, make sure you discuss exactly what is included in the number on the quote. You might also like to be aware of additional charges should unexpected problems arise during resolution of the initially identified problem.
What is the commercial plumber’s warranty policy?
Most plumbing fixtures are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, but you should also ask the plumbers about guarantees related to their labor and quality of work.
Do they provide 24-hour service?
You don’t have time to wait for a plumbing team that can fit you in next week if your plumbing problem causes your business to remain closed until resolved. Instead of letting an unresolved plumbing issue affect your profits and bottom line, look for a qualified team that offers 24-hour commercial services.
