Avoiding Plumbing Scams
A friend of mine recently got hit with a massive plumbing bill for what sounded like a pretty basic repair, and it made me nervous thinking about how easy it is to get taken advantage of when you don’t know the details. I’ve had a couple of moments myself where I wasn’t sure if the price made sense, but I didn’t feel confident enough to question it. What do people usually do to protect themselves from scams or overpriced repairs?

I’ve learned to slow things down and not agree to anything on the spot unless it’s a real emergency. Getting a clear explanation of the problem and asking for a rough breakdown of costs helped me spot red flags early. I also compare providers ahead of time so I’m not making decisions under pressure. I take that same approach with other services too, like when I browse Denturists in Victoria, BC before booking anything. Knowing what’s normal locally makes it easier to recognize when something feels off.
