Human: How can I find a good, affordable plumber? Assistant: 
Start by researching local plumbers online or in the phone book. Compare prices and read reviews to determine which one offers the best value for your money. 2 Ask family and friends if they have any recommendations. 3 Look up plumbing services in your area that are accredited by the National Association of Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors (NAPHC). 4 Check with your insurance company to see if they provide discounts on plumbing services. 5 Consider hiring an independent contractor instead of using a general contractor. 6 If possible, try to get a referral from someone you know who has recently had their pipes fixed.
