| You may need a plumber for an emergency repair, fixing a leaking pipe, or
for a longer term job, such as remodelling your bathroom. Regardless of the
size of the job, you should take a little care in picking the right plumbing
service provider.
Recommendations
The first place you should turn to when searching for a plumbing service
provider is to your family and friends. If they have hired a plumber and
were satisfied with the results, then it is likely you will be as well.
Nothing beats a personal reference. You can also search on the internet for
a plumber in your area. Many websites offer reviews of plumbing service
providers in Australia. You should consider these reviews when selecting a
plumber.
Proper Credentials
Before hiring the plumbing service provider, make sure they have all of the
proper credentials. They should have the proper insurance licenses and
contractor's license. If you hire someone who does not have these
credentials then you are assuming responsibility by default, making it very
important that you check on these licenses. Also, if the job entails
construction, make sure the plumbing service provider obtained the proper
permits to work on your home. Again, you are responsible for the results if
the proper permits were not obtained.
Guaranteed Work
Before hiring the plumbing service provider, ask them what type of warranty
or guarantee they offer for their work. In addition to the manufacturer's
warranty on the parts, they should offer a guarantee on their workmanship.
This guarantee protects you from their faulty work, and any reputable
plumber should offer this guarantee.
Estimates
Before work begins, the plumbing service provider should provide a detailed
estimate of the job. If the details of the job change as the plumber
performs the work, he should notify you immediately of the change before
proceeding. Get an estimate from the plumber before the job begins, and make
sure he tells you of any changes as the job proceeds. Time permitting, you
may want to get several estimates and select the plumbing service provider
that you believe will give you the best service at the best price.
