Five Tips for Better Repairs

1. Before having a plumber out for a service call, explain exactly what the problem is. This will help the plubmer bring the needed tools and parts and thus avoid extra tips.

2. If you need to know exactly when a plumber will arrive, try to schedule the first service call of the day.

3. When you call, ask the company to explain how it figures its labor rates—what the minimum charge is, how much work is included in the minimum, what time intervals are used to calculate charges (10 minutes, 15 minutes, half an hour), how much is charged per unit, etc.

4. Let the plumber who arrives know that you are aware of the rates. This may enhance accuracy in timekeeping.

5. Clear the area. You don't want to pay $100 an hour for the plumber to clean out junk from underneath your sink.
