Hiring a plumber can be expensive, and not everyone has easy access to an emergency fund to cover the cost. If you’re worried about the cost of hiring a plumber, here are some ways you can reduce the price:
SHOP AROUND
Contact at least three plumbers to get quotes on the project. Ask about additional costs. Some plumbers will quote a low price up front just to get their foot in the door and then upsell you on other things.
BE CLEAR
Provide detailed information about the plumbing issue when requesting quotes. This helps plumbers provide accurate estimates and prevents unexpected costs later.
TAKE CARE OF PROBLEMS AS SOON AS YOU NOTICE THEM
If you’re worried about the cost of a plumbing repair now, it’ll only get more expensive the longer you let the problem go untreated. Repairing a small leak is much more affordable than the cost of water damage restoration, for instance.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT PIPES
Different types of pipes have different price points. While you probably don’t want to go with the cheapest option (because they’ll be more susceptible to problems down the line), you don’t have to go with the most expensive option either. Talk with your plumber about the types of pipes that could work for the job, and let them know price is an important factor in the decision.
KEEP UP WITH MAINTENANCE
While it may be too little too late right now if you’re dealing with a plumbing issue, in the future, you can avoid costly plumbing problems by keeping up with routine plumbing maintenance. Review these preventative plumbing maintenance tips for your home, and make a mental note to stay on top of these going forward.
