When you’re building a new home, you want to envision it lasting forever. The median age of a home in South Carolina isn’t exactly forever—it’s actually 32 years at this point—but even three decades looks like a pretty long time when you’re planning a brand-new house. The way to make sure it will still be in beautiful condition in 32 years is to hire the very best contractors for all the jobs you need done during construction.
This is perhaps particularly true when it comes to plumbing. Mistakes, cut corners, or generally shoddy work in new construction plumbing can make for problems that cause damage to other parts of the home. How can you choose the best possible contractor for your new construction plumbing? We’ve got some tips that will help you make the right decision.
New Construction Expertise
Many plumbers do almost all their work on repairs and maintenance. And these are valuable skills! But a plumbing contractor with these sorts of specialties doesn’t have as much experience or as much expertise in the specific skills required for new construction plumbing.
Considering the overall system, following whole-house plumbing plans, or creating plans for new home plumbing are all things that plumbers with a lot of new construction expertise do every day. And at Fulmer, we’ve been doing it for over three decades—since that median South Carolina home was first built! That makes us an excellent choice for your new construction plumbing in Columbia, SC.
A Whole-System Perspective
What types of pipe are best in different specific applications? How are those different types integrated with each other? How do the water pressure, the water heating system, the drains, and the sewer line affect each other? It’s important for your new construction plumbing contractor to be thinking about the big picture. That also means they’ll be knowledgeable and available when it comes to all your needs: water lines, water heaters, kitchen and bathroom fixtures, and more.
A Long-Term View
You should consider your future needs, too. You’ll want a plumbing contractor you can partner with for the coming decades, to help you anytime you need maintenance or repair, leak detection or a sump pump installation, or you have any other plumbing concerns. It is also best, no matter what your current plumbing needs are, to work with someone who offers 24/7 emergency service. Then you know exactly who to call if disaster strikes!
A Sterling Reputation
Customer reviews and word of mouth from neighbors can carry a lot of weight when you’re choosing a contractor to help create your new home. And when you consider that it takes a lot of highly satisfied customers to keep a business successful for over three decades—becoming repeat customers, recommending the business to their friends and family—you can tell that you can count on Fulmer Heating & Cooling.
