Before You Hire

What You Need to Know

Hiring a plumber is a crucial decision that can impact the safety and functionality of your plumbing system. At PlumbR, we help homeowners and businesses make informed choices by verifying plumbing professionals and ensuring their work meets the highest standards. Before you hire a plumber, consider the following key factors.

Check for Proper Licensing & Certification

A licensed plumber has undergone the necessary training and testing to perform plumbing work safely and in compliance with local regulations. Always ask for proof of licensing and certification before hiring a plumber. Working with an unlicensed plumber may lead to substandard work, potential legal issues, and costly future repairs.
Tip 1
Pay by Credit Card

Paying with a credit card adds extra protection alongside PlumbR. Under Section 75 or chargeback rules, your credit provider can review disputes using PlumbR’s verification reports. This ensures your money stays safe if a plumber fails to follow the agreed plan.

Tip 2
Tell your plumber you are using our services.

Letting your plumber know you're using PlumbR ensures they follow industry standards and don’t cut corners. They’ll be aware that their work will undergo expert verification, holding them accountable for quality and compliance.

Evidence of Work

Taking midway pictures, along with before and after photos, provides solid evidence of the work done at each stage. This ensures there’s a clear record of materials, methods, and compliance with the agreed plan. If issues arise, these photos serve as proof of workmanship and can support any dispute or claim.

Tip 3
Don’t Rush Final Payment

Only pay once the work is fully verified and meets PlumbR’s standards. Ensure the plumber tests for leaks, drainage flow, and water pressure before leaving. If a fixture is installed, run water and inspect for drips before signing off.
