Google allows you to search for contractors by type. This will result in Google’s business pages as well as star ratings and reviews. You can sort the list by the contractor’s star rating. Plumbers can have a Google page but this is an easy way to see who does.
Google reviews allow businesses to leave comments that are not edited. You can view the responses to negative reviews and see how they were handled. It can be just as useful to see how companies respond when negative reviews are posted as it is for positive reviews.

What services can a good plumber provide?
The services of a plumber should be evaluated before you hire them. You must find a plumber who can handle all your needs over the lifetime of your ownership of the house or building. You may just need to have a faucet replaced right now. You might need to maintain your water heater next year. A good company will be able to handle the task.
Consider the following options when hiring a plumber.
Drain Clearing
Have a sink, tub, or shower that keeps backing up? Is it taking too long to drain? Clear the drain.
Homeowners and property managers frequently clear their drains by cleaning out hair and pouring liquid products down the pipes to dissolve clogs. Sometimes, however, these strategies do not suffice.
Plumbers are equipped with the knowledge and tools to remove blockages that are deep and stubborn. These types of clogs can be caused by soap scum, food particles, or oil droplets. They can accumulate on the drain sides and cause water to clog the passageway. The passage can eventually become blocked, blocking water from draining.
Professional plumbers can reach the most difficult clogs and clear them so that water flows again.
Sewer Line Repairs and Clearance
Sewer lines take used water out of a house and into a septic tank, or to a municipal sewer system. They run underground and can become damaged by ground shifts, tree roots invasion, and random shovel strikes.
Within sewer lines, oils, grease, and dirt can clog the pipes.
The professionals should handle sewer line repairs. Your preferred plumber should provide sewer line cleaning, repair, and maintenance as a standard service.
Many plumbers use small cameras inserted into sewer lines to take photographs or videos in clogged areas. This allows for targeted repairs. These days, you no longer need to dig up hundreds of feet of sewer pipes to locate broken or problematic areas.
Many plumbers use hydro-jetting equipment to clean their sewer lines. This equipment blasts out clogs using high-pressure water streams.
Slab Leak Repair and detection
You cannot DIY slab leak detection. Slab lead repair and detection should be included in the list of services provided by the plumber you choose.
Many plumbers have special equipment for detecting leaks that detects soundwaves. The soundwaves’ lengths show where leaks are occurring beneath the slab. This allows repairs to be made without the need to excavate the entire slab.
The leak detection equipment plumbers use to locate cracks in the above-ground pipe–water supply pipes or industrial oil pipes.
Installation and Repair of Water Softener
Plumbers are trained to install, maintain, or repair water conditioners.
Water quality varies greatly from one region of the country to another. The water travels through the substrate, infusing it with minerals, particles, and settling on clothes, skin, hair, and other surfaces.
Water conditioners remove the elements of iron and sulfur that can cause water to turn a metallic color and have a pleasant odor.
Water softeners eliminate minerals that can be left in deposits.
Whole-house systems refer to water systems that treat all of a building’s water. Point-of-use systems are those which deliver treated water directly to fixtures.
House Repiping
Repiping a house is when old, worn-out plumbing pipes have been removed and new pipes installed. Older houses may require this service as the plumbing system can deteriorate from age and exposure.
Even though your home is new, you should still look for a plumber to do the work.
