How to Choose a Plumber in BC
A good plumber explains the problem, the options and the price before starting.
Request a plumberAsk about certification
Ask whether the plumber holds a BC trade certificate or Red Seal, and whether the business carries liability insurance.
Gas work
Water heaters, gas lines and other gas appliances must be handled by a certified gas fitter. Ask whether a permit will be taken out.
Get it in writing
Ask what is included — parts, labour and any permit — before work starts.
Warranties
Ask what the warranty covers on parts and on the work itself.
Take your time
For non-urgent jobs, it is fine to get more than one opinion.
