You’ve found a plumber promising to make your repairs for an unbelievable price. In fact, it is 75% lower than the price received on your quotes. You’re ready to hire the plumber and get the repair or job done quickly. But before you rush into hiring, have you considered why the plumber is charging so little for his services? If not, now is the time to put your thinking cap on. Be sure that you ask lots of questions, with the first asking if a license and insurance is held by the company. Yes you should even use a licensed plumber when have a new hot water tank installed http://www.djplumbing.ca/services/hot-water-heater-tank-replacement-vancouver/.

Never Hire an Unlicensed Plumber

An unlicensed plumber is willing to accept the low prices for their job because many are not committed to the work. They want nothing more than to make another dollar and they do nothing more than make that cash. Unlicensed plumbers put your entire plumbing system at risk because they may not really understand the plumbing they claim to know. And, without insurance, you are up the creek without a paddle of the plumber is injured on your property during the job. It just isn’t worth it!

Unlicensed plumbers have not attended training in many cases. Perhaps they stood alongside dad and watched him make repairs. Perhaps he’s done nothing more than watch a DIY video or two on YouTube. There is no way for you to know this information, but ask yourself if it is really a chance that you are willing to take.  The plumber may or may not be qualified to work on your project. Are you really willing to risk so much? Most people do not find it a worthwhile decision.

Have you stopped to think about codes, permits and licenses that you’ll need for your plumbing needs? Oftentimes, even drink smaller projects, they are needed. Only a licensed plumber is able to obtain these permits and other special pieces of information.

So often those without a license want to only make a quick buck. They don’t offer any kind of warranties or guarantees with their services and if you need them a week or a month or four down the road, they are nowhere to be found. You are responsible for the damages they’ve caused as well as the future repairs you’ll need to make as a result of this shotty work.  

Don’t Waste your Money

Do not waste your money with an unlicensed plumber. It is true that they may be the best plumber in the world, but at the same time, just the opposite could be true. Is this really the time that you want to take such a big chance? Hiring a licensed plumber will cost only a few bucks more and is very worthwhile. This is not a decision you will later regret.

Licensed Plumber light the way

Hiring a licensed plumber is the one and only way to handle business whether you have a minor or a major problem. They have the experience and expertise that you need, as well as the trust and credibility needed for peace of mind. Sure, you will spend a bit more money to hire someone that has a license, but when there is so much offered with the decision; you can count that as money well-spent. See our plumbing services here.

What is Drain Tile?

The purpose of drain tile is to collect the water along the outside perimeter of your basement, and then, using gravity, runs the water away from your basement and foundation. This is needed to prevent water from  getting into your basement and causing damage. It is one of the many  ways for basement waterproofing to take place.

An Inside Look at Drain Tile

The drain tile is made up of a pipe, usually surrounded by stones which prevent dirt from entering the pipe as well as possibly crushing the pipe with its weight. Drain tile runs under the ground and around the foundation of your basement. This draws water away from your house and basement, therefor keeping things dry as they should be. Drain tile is one of those things that you don't think about, and probably don't even realize you need, until you realize that your basement is flooding, or other costly water related damage has occurred. No need to worry though, the technology and parts behind this is fairly basic. Given a big enough slope, you won't even need a pump for any of this as gravity will take care of water flow needs.

Drain tile is essential for preventing basement seepage and the costly damage associated with water damage. As far as piping goes, using corrugated drain tile pipes can be convenient, but keep in mind that there are times when the pipe may become damaged or crushed, or have dirt enter into it. Using PVC pipes with holes on the bottom on the other hand is generally considered to be a superior choice, as the holes on the bottom will cause the water to make its way into the pipe from underneath, and PVC pipe is also stronger and more durable than corrugated pipes, therefor providing more long term reliability, and elimination of problems associated with corrugated pipes, such as crushing, or excessive dirt clogging the pipes. Proper installation of drain tile is essential. Thought and planning need to be given to not only the location of the pipes, but also, where the water will drain to. Extra care should be given when digging to ensure that you don't accidentally hit hidden pipes, cables, or other fragile or potentially dangerous and costly utility items. Therefore, proper professional installation is strongly recommended.

Professional Drain Tile Installation

Professional drain tile installation ensures that the tile is properly installed. You’ll have peace of mind and comfort when you have a professional on the job. It is important to hire the best plumbing company in town to complete the job, however, as not all companies are created the same.

The cost of professional drain tile installation will vary. The chosen company is one factor affecting the price of the job. Typically you can expect to pay about $20 - $25 per foot that needs the tile.
