TOP 5 THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN HIRING AN ADELAIDE EMERGENCY PLUMBER
Don’t have a reliable and trusted emergency plumber on speed dial? No worries! We have compiled a list of key things to consider before finalising a professional emergency plumber for your plumbing issue. If you’re concerned about what you should do prior to hiring an emergency plumber, here are 5 top things you should consider before calling one the next time. Obtaining this information beforehand can save you a lot of time and money:
-
HOW MUCH DOES AN ADELAIDE EMERGENCY PLUMBER CHARGE OR HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
This is the first question that comes to mind when you’re in need of a plumber Adelaide to resolve any emergency plumbing disaster. We understand that you want to get the issue fixed at the earliest convenience without breaking your bank account. Not all plumbing services charge the same and for some emergency plumbing jobs, the cost will depend on the call out time, whether it’s day time or odd hours in the night, if it’s a public holiday etc. If you have an established relationship with the plumber, it will be much easier to negotiate a fee before the emergency occurs.
-
HOW MUCH EXPERIENCE DOES THE PLUMBER HAVE?
It’s important to find out about the breadth of experience your plumber has. It’s good to know that the plumber that will be providing services to your home or office has the necessary experience to carry out your specific job with efficiency and expertise. Without the required experience, additional time and cost could be spent to complete your proposed plumbing job causing hassle and stress to you.
-
CHECK FOR LEVEL OF PROFESSIONALISM
A professional plumber will respect your time and property and will ensure the repair work is completed thoroughly. Being a professional on the job is very important at all times and is an important factor for complete customer satisfaction. A professional trades person will answer your queries with expertise and give honest timelines of the services provided, will easily provide references from other jobs and provide relevant documents such as licenses, insurance cover etc.
-
LICENSED & INSURED?
This is another important question that you should ask an emergency plumber Adelaide before bringing them onboard to repair your broken plumbing. Having a plumbing license gives you comfort and peace of mind that the trades person is properly trained to offer reliable plumbing services. Plumbers that have an updated license also indicate that they are fully aware of the most recent plumbing codes and guidelines that must be carried out for any plumbing job in Adelaide. Additionally, check if the plumbing service has the appropriate insurance cover. If the plumber that you decide to hire cannot provide you with proof of active and valid insurance cover, then you should consider hiring a different plumber.
-
USE OF HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS
A good plumber will always come fully equipped with the latest tools and fixtures to complete the plumbing emergency repair in-time. A plumber using quality materials will guarantee their work. Especially if they are installing new pipes, hot water systems or other major equipment that should typically last for a certain period of time, it’s good to get clarity on the quality of materials and fixtures. Say no plumbers who cannot guarantee their work.
It’s difficult to know beforehand what type of emergency plumbing problems you may encounter. That’s why it’s important to have a trusted Adelaide emergency plumber on your speed dial for unexpected burst pipes, overflowing toilet, no hot water, blocked drains, gas leak or any other plumbing troubles. When approaching plumbers, politely ask them these questions and let them know the reason behind this necessary due diligence to establish a positive working relationship.
