We know that many people are still dealing with plumbing problems due to last month’s winter storm, but be careful when hiring the services of any plumber.
According to the Better Business Bureau, the Texas Board of Plumbing Examiners has begun issuing waivers for individuals who may have expired plumbing licenses and provisional licenses for individuals who are in the process of acquiring their licenses.
This, however, could lend itself to ill-intentioned people taking advantage of the situation.
“We want people to know that this is a fact,” he said. “It does not prevent any person on the street from saying I have this exemption, I have this provisional permit when in reality it is not like that. So what you can do to verify if they really have a license or that exemption can visit the page of bbb.org or with the Texas board of examiners ”.
Another thing that you as a client should keep in mind is that a contractor should never ask you for partial or full payment for the work unless the work is already done.
And if they ask for partial payment, that payment should reflect the partial work that has already been done.
