What is the Difference Between Bonded and Insured?

When a professional plumber says they are licensed, bonded and insured, that means they have the required licensing for their business, proper insurance, and have made payments for additional coverage with a bond.  You may understand the idea of having the necessary license. You probably know what insurance is. Let’s talk about bonds.

A bond is like an added level of insurance on your current plan.  It guarantees a payment amount if certain conditions are not met.  For example, a plumbing contractor with general liability insurance may need to have a contractor bond to cover additional types of damage that could occur on the job.

If you are thinking of hiring a handyman to do work instead of a licensed and bonded plumber, STOP in your tracks!  In the Bensalem, PA area, there is one clear-cut choice for professional and guaranteed plumbing work at a fair price.  That’s Joe Canty of All Drains Plumbing.  Joe covers a large area around southeast PA.  Give him a call at (267) 356-3857.

Professional Plumber vs. a Handyman.

Keeping a residence or commercial business in good condition is a tough job.  Water pipes may leak, toilets can overflow, and other plumbing problems occur in the blink of an eye.  Property owners may also do common tasks that handymen do such as mow lawns, repair windows, clean gutters, painting, etc.

In simplistic terms, a handyman is someone who works with their hands.  A handyman is hired to execute repairs and keep the home or business in good condition.  On the other hand, a plumber’s training is more extensive and requires a formal education.  Most qualified plumbers go through a long apprenticeship program and learn specific state and municipal plumbing codes.

When you factor in the equipment, knowledge, training, and all of the intangibles the obvious choice is nearly always…hire a professional plumber!  We have a great one in the Bensalem, PA area.  That’s Joe Canty of All Drains Plumbing.  Have 2020 plumbing repair vision in the new year call Joe at (484) 591-1862.
