Common Types of Plumbing Services

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

Leak Repair

Even small leaks can quickly get expensive if not managed properly. Your plumber should be trained to fix leaks and identify the root issue to prevent more.

Drain Cleaning

Debris can clog pipes and cause damage, poor drainage, and breaking. Some unattended clogs can cause significant water damage to your property. Licensed plumbers are trained to find and identify the cause of clogs, as well as get rid of them without damaging your plumbing.

Bathroom Installation

A professional plumber can help replace or install a shower, tub, sink, or toilet. Be sure to thoroughly vet any plumber you hire by looking at their customer reviews and industry experience. This is particularly important for more expensive projects.

Gas Inspection and Installation

Some plumbers have the skills to repair your stove, hot water heater, or oven. Some plumbers are trained to fix gas leaks as well as repair or install gas pipes and appliances. This kind of work can be dangerous, so ensure you're hiring a highly credentialed plumber.

Inspection and Maintenance

The plumbing in your home sees a lot of wear and tear, particularly if there are several people under one roof. Regular plumbing inspections from a professional can reduce the risk of expensive and inconvenient repairs later on. We recommend an annual inspection.

Emergency Plumbing Services

The worst plumbing issues are those that occur in the middle of the night. Whether it's a burst pipe or some other emergency, it's important to have a local plumber that offers emergency services. This way, you won't have to wait until morning to fix an urgent problem.

How to Choose a Plumbing Service in Holland

Try to find a plumber that provides quality services at a reasonable price. Consider the following factors when selecting a plumbing company in Holland.

Reputation and Reviews

Any tradesperson you hire to perform work on your home must be properly credentialed. Ask to see a plumber's license from the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs as well as proof of business insurance before getting started. Also ensure they've performed this type of project before. We always recommend reading at least a few dozen reviews to learn how satisfied other customers were with a plumber's services.

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

Services Offered

Not all plumbers offer or are qualified to perform the same types of plumbing work, so ask your contractor about their past experience. You can check a company's website to see what services it offers, and you can even ask your plumber for photos of previous jobs as proof of quality and experience.

Cost

Try to prioritize quality of work over price of services as much as your budget allows. Get price estimates from at least three local plumbers, then compare rates and services offered. Find the one that best balances price and quality.
