Common Questions to Ask Professional Plumbers

Posted on September 8, 2019September 8, 2019 by Naomi Predmore

When you encounter a clogged toilet or a leaky faucet at home, you must call professional plumbers immediately. You must not ignore them because you won’t learn anything that way. If the plumber is nice, he may teach you a thing or two about what he knows. Here are some questions you should definitely ask the plumbers who go to your house to fix the plumbing problem you have:

What caused the plumbing problem?

It would be best to get to the bottom of the problem. It won’t be hard to find out what caused the problem anyway so may as well find it out. For example, if you are dealing with a clogged toilet then the cause of it was flushing down things that should be thrown to the wastebasket. Thus, you must put a sign beside the toilet to prevent that from happening in the future. There are some plumbing problems that are so strange that you won’t know what caused them. Thus, it would be better to ask the expert instead of guessing. Besides, you will never be right with your endless guessing.

How long will you take in solving the problem?

Since it is going to take some of your time, you would want to know how long the plumber will take to get it done. It really depends on the problem. Some problems take only a few minutes while some would take them several hours. Of course, you should ask them in such a way that it would not appear you are hurrying them up. If they think you are hurrying them up, they may get angry. They may even lose their concentration so better ask them nicely. They may even tell you the duration of the task with a smiling face. Now, that is a good sign of a professional plumber.

Do you need any additional materials?

If they answer no then that is a good sign. It means you are dealing with the professional plumber who brought all the things needed to solve the problem. Of course, the same can’t be said for amateur plumbers as they probably just brought the basic tools and would need you to go buy the rest. This is why you should only deal with professional plumbers. You may need to pay them a huge professional fee but it is going to be worth it because they arrive in a van full of the needed plumbing equipment.

What can I do to prevent the problem from happening in the future?

You would definitely hate encountering the same problem over and over again. The plumber probably did something to help prevent that from occurring again in the future. Of course, it won’t hurt to ask as the things you would need to do won’t be that hard anyway. Yes, the plumber will just tell you preventive steps in making sure simple plumbing problems won’t happen again in the future. For example, if you are dealing with a leaky pipe, he would advise you to buy a new one.

Once you have a new pipe installed, it is pretty doubtful it will leak again anytime soon. Another example would be if you encounter a clogged drain. The plumber would just tell you to throw the waste particles into the garbage can and not down the drain. That would prevent the drain from getting clogged. It is common sense but some people still make that mistake.

Once you find out all the answers to the above questions, you will feel confident about everything going along smoothly. Besides, you are dealing with a professional plumber and he probably won’t mind if you will ask him a few simple questions. You will rarely encounter a plumber who does not want to entertain questions because he would want to get the task done as soon as possible so he can move to the next one.

It would be a great idea to list these questions down so you won’t have to waste time thinking about what to ask him. The sooner you ask him, the sooner he answers. There are plumbers who take time in answering questions asked to them but that does not happen very often (unless you have a particularly excellent company like those at Las Vegas emergency plumbers).
