Why You Should Always Get A Second Plumbing Contractor Opinion

If you’re a homeowner that is looking to get some work done on your home whether it be plumbing, sewer work, or any kind of contracting work, you need to make sure you always get a second opinion on the job you purchase to have done. This is because, unfortunately, the contracting industry is notorious for scam artists and companies taking advantage of homeowners. Here at Sewer Surgeons, we don’t want you to become a victim of a scam or bait and switch. How you avoid that is by always getting a second opinion, getting a second price, or getting someone to come out and evaluate what is going on in addition to the initial consultation you’ve received. It is disappointing that a lot of these companies make out by pressuring you to get the work done immediately, which can make you feel like it is an absolute emergency. This can also suggest that if you don’t do it quickly, you are going to find some big trouble.

We ask that you don’t fall for these scams, especially those that aim to pressure you into an uninformed decision! Here at Sewer Surgeons we don’t pressure anyone. We want you to make the decision that’s best for you, your home, and your family. It should never be made under the premise of fearfully losing or being afflicted by something. No matter if you have a blocked sewer line or something similar, it is something that can be fixed pretty quickly, not something that is a drastic emergency. Simply try not to use the bathrooms or sinks as much, maybe you could use your neighbors or go down the street temporarily. What it can cost you, though, is thousands of dollars in extra money that you have to pay that might not be necessary. You might get scammed into having work done that really doesn’t need to done at such a large scale, or it can be done for much less.

We hope this information helps. We want you to make sure you always get a second opinion whether it’s from Sewer Surgeons or from any other local plumbing or sewage repair contractor. Make sure you get things evaluated with two or three other witnesses to be able to validate that your home is experiencing a certain problem. This is because we have seen too many customers we have been paid for work that, realistically, we could have done at half the price to the homeowner.The job ultimately did not need to be done the way it was explained to them, nor was it as efficient at solving the problem.

If you need a second opinion to an estimate you have already received, or are looking for a sewer repair or relining company that is looking to solve your problem, not just receive your money, give us a call today.
