If you’re looking for a plumber in Levittown, you’re advised to do your research before hiring a company. After all, since your home is most likely the biggest investment you’ll ever make, you want to make sure that every contractor you hire to work on it is both capable and above board. You don’t want someone who’s not licensed or insured doing shoddy work on your plumbing, since in the worst case scenario, that could wind up causing more damage to your home and costing you a lot of money to get repaired properly. So take a few hours to get some background information on a number of plumbers before deciding who to hire. Here’s how:

Ask neighbors or your real estate agent to recommend somebody. Word of mouth is often a great way to find a good professional—so long as you can back up the recommendation with formal requirements, i.e. a license and insurance.

Look in the Yellow Pages. The Yellow Pages provides informative listings that usually include a link to company’s website, what the company’s services or products are, which neighborhood it serves, hours of operation and payment methods. Many listings also come with ratings and customer reviews, which are helpful to see satisfied other customers were.

Use Angie’s List. Angie’s List is a great way to look for reputable companies. Do a search on “plumber in Levittown” and the results will show you which plumbers to avoid based on customer reviews, as well as which plumbing companies were rated highest by customers.

Search on Yelp. Like Angie’s List, Yelp provides in-depth customer reviews and corresponding ratings about local plumbers. You can read about other people’s issues and how their plumbers responded.

Once you’ve got the names of a couple of likely companies, go to their websites for more information. Check that they’re licensed and fully insured, and find out what kind of warrantee they offer on labor and parts. If everything checks out, ask for a quote and select the one that works best for your needs and budget.  McHale’s has been proudly serving the Bucks Country area since 1950, and we will be happy to provide an honest and thorough assessment of the job that needs to be done!
