Important Considerations When Hiring a Drain and Sewer Company

Hibu Websites • Aug 19, 2021

Every homeowner understands that protecting sewer backflow is vital. When the sewer line backs up, you have to hire a drain contractor for back flow testing and repairs. With the right back flow solutions, your building will be safe from sewage contamination.


You should not try a DIY solution for your sewer system unless you have enough know-how, whether it is a slight leakage or a significant drainage problem. Instead, contact experienced contractors who will do a great job at an affordable rate. Below are a few tips for hiring a sewer company.


Insurance and Licensing


Before you even get any recommendations or book appointments, always confirm the company’s insurance and licensing. A contractor or plumber that has no certifications will cost you more than money. They will put your safety at risk.


Some states have exams that ensure contractors excel in:


-Plumbing

-Sewer line video inspections

-Utility line location

-Drain cleaning

-Jetting

-Back flow testing, prevention, and certification

-Other drains, sewer, and plumbing areas


Services Offered


You need to hire a company that offers a broad range of services. If they have innovative technology and versatile services, you know they can deliver top results.


The best drain and sewer contractors have the required equipment and a skilled team to perform plumbing repairs, installations, and back flow testing. Work with a local company that will do sewer line hookups and fix clogged sewer lines at competitive rates.


Proficiency


Do not hire a company that starts the project without inspecting your home or business. This is a sign of an inexperienced team. Furthermore, if they give you a quote before visiting the site, you may pay extra for nothing.


Another thing to avoid is a contractor that asks for payment before the work starts. If they delay the project or do a disappointing job, you may pay more than the original quote. There are horror stories of homeowners who vanish with your money. If you have a big project, you can agree to pay in installments.


Contract


Imagine waiting for a sewer clean out for months because your project was left incomplete. Or the timeline passes, but your contractor is incompetent! You can avoid all of these horror stories with a signed contract.


The contract must be well-detailed and stipulate the expected timeline and day of completion. It should also include the steps to be followed if any changes occur.


After shortlisting prospective drain and sewer companies, go through their website, check reviews, and list of services. A-1 Plumbing and Drain has the team and tools to handle any plumbing problem.
