Manassas, Virginia, is a city of about 30,000 people located in the northern part of the state. It is famously remembered for being the location of the Battle of Manassas, or the Battle of Bull Run, the first major battle of the American Civil War. As such, it is a city loaded with history and a local, family feel. If you find yourself moving to Manassas, VA and need to set up your home, there are a lot of services that you may need to organize before moving in.
Manassas plumbers, electricians, builders, and other useful trades are listed both in the yellow pages and on the city's website. Still, there are several things you should check before simply hiring services to help you sort out your new home in Manassas. Plumbers' services are easy to find, but you should do a quick check before you blindly hire a company to come and fiddle with your pipes.
Licenses - In Manassas, plumbers are required to have trade licenses in order to carry out work on both small and large scales. Whether you are looking through the local phone book, browsing online, or asking friends and neighbors which plumber you should employ, you should to see the tradesman's license, both as a company, and as an individual. The state of Virginia operates a "License Lookup and Disciplinary Actions" website in which you can search for the name of the Manassas plumbers you are considering hiring for the job at hand. This way, you can be assured that the plumber you are about to hire is on the level and will do the excellent work locals expect.
Complaints - Another place you may want to check before hiring Manassas plumbers is the local complaints board where locals list the companies that have done them wrong and explain the issue in a message board-like setting. If you do have a bad experience, you can also go to the state of Virginia and file a complaint on DPOR's website (Dept. of Professional and Occupational Regulation). There is even a contractor's recovery fund to help people recover funds paid to contractors to complete work that was either not performed at all or performed poorly. These two resources allow you to get a better feel for the business and personal element of the Manassas plumbers you may like to hire for a job around your house.
