Bringing Running Water to Northbrook’s Great Outdoors

Having outdoor access to clean, running water is key to easier living in Northbrook. Without it, you can’t water your plants, run the sprinklers, or easily fill the swimming pool. Does your house have a only single spigot and you wish you had another? Or, perhaps you’d like hot water on tap to wash your car or RV. Fortunately-whether you’re looking to install an outdoor faucet or fix a busted spigot—Mergenthaler is here for you. Our local plumbers are experienced plumbing experts wholly dedicated to your satisfaction.

What to Look for in an Outdoor Plumber

A lot of people try and handle their own outdoor plumbing issues, and we’re often left to pick up the pieces. We’ve gotten calls from homeowners in Northbrook frustrated with the outdoor plumbing services performed by others in the past. They found the issues resurfaced or the newly-installed fixture didn’t perform as expected. If you choose the right Northbrook plumber, however, such issues can be avoided. So, the next time you’re hiring someone for an outdoor water issue, keep an eye out for:

• Insurance: Is the plumber you’re evaluating insured? What happens if they or their employees damage your home? Is there something in place to cover the damage? Before letting someone work on your spigot or outdoor sink, make sure they can foot the bill of a job done poorly.
• Referrals and Reviews: Look their name up on Google. What do you see? Are there a bunch of happy, glowing reviews outlining everything they do well? Are there a lot of people knocking them for their inconsistent service or low-quality installations? Don't let a couple of negative reviews sway you, however. See how the Northbrook plumbing company responded to these statements b efore making a decision.
• Adaptability: Ask your plumber what kind of jobs have they handled in the past. See if they show photos of the work they’ve performed. When you talk to them on the phone, do they sound knowledgeable? Do they bring the right tools to the jobsite? A good plumber comes equipped to tackle any plumbing issue, something our fully-stocked trucks equip ours with.
• They’re Licensed: You won’t let some hack without a doctorate operate on your mouth, so why let some handyperson tackle your plumbing problem? When you call to schedule outdoor plumbing service in Northbrook, ask for the company's license number. This certifies that their employees have reached a certain level of competency and can handle spigot and hot tub hookup.
• They Respect Your Time: Some plumbers will treat your project like a dawdling beach walk. They will take hours to finish a job. Others have a habit of giving full-day work windows or arriving late to every job. A good plumber will listen to your needs and schedule an appointment that’s suited to your schedule. He or she will also take the necessary steps to clean up after themselves.
