Whether you have an issue with the pipes connecting your house to the sewer, or just a pesky leaky faucet, here are some ways you can save money on your plumbing repairs—without skimping on quality:
Bundle multiple plumbing repairs. Most plumbing service companies that repair outdoor plumbing problems can help with indoor issues too. If your plumber is able to take care of multiple plumbing services at once, most plumbing companies will offer discounts.
Avoid emergency plumbing calls. A plumber will charge more to come to your house on a weekend, holiday, or last-minute. If you're dealing with a pipe bursting, this might not be an option, but if you can, schedule your plumber during normal working hours to avoid an additional fee.
Check to see if your insurance will cover repairs. Water damage from a burst pipe, both indoor and outdoor, is commonly covered by homeowner's insurance. Before you hand over your credit card, check your homeowner's insurance policy to see if it covers repairing your pipes and any damage caused by the burst.
