Emergencies Can Be Responded To Quicker
A local plumber is a better choice because a lot of times when you really need a plumber, they need to be able to get to your home or business as quickly as possible. Imagine this scenario:
You come home from work at 6 pm on a Friday and your bathroom is slightly flooded. Water damage cannot be avoided and if it gets much worse, it will reach your hardwood floor. What do you do? The logical thing to do would be to call a plumber that can get to you as soon as possible.
In addition, the further a plumber has to come to get to your home or business, the more likely it is that you will face extra mileage fees. At Rooter Man, there are never any extra fees for emergency visits in the greater New Orleans area.
Smaller Company
A small, local company has more investment in the local community. Whereas a chain plumbing outfit with many locations all over the place, does not have to rely so much on one location for its revenue. A smaller company can get to know their clients better and has more to lose if they do not perform high quality work. Even if a repair is slightly more with a local plumber, you will likely get better service. At Rooter Man we offer very competitive and upfront pricing with no hassles for you.
Community Reviews
With a local plumber you can get the opinions of your friends and neighbors so you know that the testimonials you hear are honest and from actual customers instead of financially compensated individuals and companies. You need to know that you can trust the plumber you do business with. A Facebook page, Twitter account, or reputable online reviewing company can be great places to look for reviews. When in doubt, do not hesitate to ask your local plumber for references. At Rooter Man, we have many satisfied customers that choose Rooter Man for all their plumbing, sewer, gas services and repairs.
Your Money Is More Likely To Stay In the Community
When you hire a non local plumber, the dollars you spend go away from your town and community. Choosing a highly skilled and knowledgeable local plumber will ensure that more of the dollars you earn and spend circulate throughout your local economy. A local plumber will be more likely to spend the money he earns from you at local stores and restaurants and then they in turn will spend some of those dollars locally.
