Day or night, 24 / 7, we’ve got your pipes covered.
Your plumbing problems aren’t important – they’re critical. A busted pipe at home is frustrating, but when it happens to your business, it can spell disaster. Not only does a plumbing emergency create havoc for you and your employees, it can disrupt business and even hurt your long-term reputation. It’s just not an option.
But how do you know you’re hiring the right plumber for the job? In Los Angeles, many contractors are eager to work with you, but are they qualified? To help you decide, here are a few tips when reviewing your options.
Certifications
When you hire a commercial plumber, you need to know that he’s received proper training. Different jobs require different skill sets, which is why commercial plumbers become certified in specific areas of practice. In addition, these days, many plumbers are becoming green-certified, or at least green-savvy. By employing high-efficiency methods, the right professional can save you thousands of dollars, and perhaps make you eligible for federal rebates.
Experience
Certain areas of town like Culver City have booming commercial districts. Whether it’s a restaurant, bar, or retail outlet, every business has different plumbing needs. Make sure your contractor has experience in dealing with your type of company’s infrastructure. For the best plumber Culver City has to offer, call Morningside Plumbing. Our trained technicians know the area and its stores, and more importantly, our broad range of commercial work makes us the perfect choice for the job.
Long-term incentives
Once a professional delivers solid work, you most likely want to rely on him for the future. Not only can you depend on his performance, you’ll reap the reward of having someone who is already familiar with your business before he even shows up.
When selecting a plumber, ask about any incentives for long-term work. It’ll prove beneficial for both parties. You’ll get dependable service at a discount, and he’ll have work that he can rely on indefinitely.
Deadline-driven
Larger, complex jobs typically take longer to complete. If whole plumbing systems need to be repaired or replaced, or if some of the work needs to be outsourced to, say, an electrician, then plan on days or even weeks for the project. It’s important then to establish benchmarks. Before the job begins, agree on concrete goals that will be achieved along the way. It’s a good way for both parties to focus, and it’ll help maintain open communication. Keeping in touch throughout the project keeps both sides honest about their needs, while conceding to the realities of the project.
After benchmarks are agreed upon, set a deadline. If possible, this should be tentative as issues may – and often do – arise once work begins. However, if you have a hard deadline to meet, make sure you communicate this up front, and try to stay as flexible as you can during the process.
