Efficient. Have you ever had the experience of calling for a plumber and nobody ever picks up the phone? Or have you had a plumber reach your home an hour late from the original appointed time? These things may be little, but they can say so much about the quality of reliable you may be getting. If your plumber is like this, then it's time to say goodbye and hire another one.
Trustworthy. The best way to find a Trustworthy plumber is to ask a close friend, family, or a good neighbour for recommendations. They're the best people to ask because they've experienced the services first-hand and they will never lie to you about it. This works in the same way they won't let you hire someone who has worked for them and delivered bad service.
Call a Local plumber to set up an appointment for an inspection. You will need to be home for this service and when the work is complete, you want to be available to find out what the professional found out.

Kitchen sink drains are usually plugged by food particles. Discretion should be exercised in using a garbage disposal. Tough and fibrous food like corn husks and onion skins should not be run through the disposal. Large amounts of potato peelings can also cause problems by forming a thick slurry.
5- Gas leaks: When smelling gas simply evacuate the building. Gas leaks do not lend themselves to D.I.Y repair due to their deadly nature in the wrong hands. Once outside the home call in your emergency plumber or Gas Company. You can and under professional guidance attempt to turn off the gas meter at the control valve.
