Common Types of Plumbing Services

Most professional plumbers in Fishers and the surrounding areas offer the following services.

Leak Repair

Have leaks fixed as soon as you notice them, because even a trickling faucet can drive up your water bill. All plumbers are trained to fix leaks and identify their cause to prevent future leaks.

Drain Cleaning

Debris buildup that blocks drainage can damage your pipes and result in flooding. When ignored, blockages can even cause structural damage to your property. Professional plumbers are trained to identify what's causing the clog and remove it without damaging your system.

Bathroom Installation

Plumbers can install or replace tubs, sinks, toilets, and showers. Thoroughly vet any plumber you hire, especially for a pricier project. You want a licensed contractor who has several years of industry experience as well as good customer reviews.

Gas Inspection and Installation

You can look for a plumber to fix gas leaks. These plumbers are trained to install, repair, and find problems in gas pipes and appliances, such as stoves, ovens, and hot water heaters. These types of services can be dangerous, so be sure to hire a highly credentialed plumber.

Inspection and Maintenance

The plumbing in your home sees a lot of wear and tear, especially if you have several people under your roof. Having a plumber regularly inspect and maintain your plumbing system can prevent expensive and inconvenient repairs later on. We recommend a yearly inspection.

Emergency Plumbing Services

A plumbing problem is never convenient, but the worst time is at night. The last thing you need at the end of the day is a burst pipe or unusable toilet. Plenty of contractors offer emergency services and can help you any time, day or night, so you don't need to wait until morning to get an urgent issue fixed.

How to Choose a Plumbing Service in Fishers

When choosing a plumbing company in Fishers, try to find one that offers high-quality and affordable services. Below are some factors you should consider.

Reputation and Reviews

Any tradesperson you hire to perform work on your home should be properly credentialed. Ask to see a plumber's license from the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency and proof of business insurance before getting started. Also confirm that they've performed this type of project before. We always recommend reading online reviews to hear how satisfied other customers were with a plumber's services.

Many prefer to hire a professional from a union. Services will likely cost more, but you'll know that your plumber has been vetted thoroughly.

Services Offered

Not all plumbers provide or are qualified to handle the same services, so we suggest checking a company's website to ensure it's right for you. You can also ask contractors to tell you about their previous experience, and even request photos of previous projects.

Cost

Try to prioritize quality of work over service cost as much as possible. Get price estimates from at least three local plumbers, then compare rates and services offered. Determine the one that best balances price and quality.
