No matter where you are, we all need the assistance of a plumber from time to time. For real estate professionals, this is especially important – you need a tradesman with the right skills, equipment and attitude. However, for the average person it can be difficult to differentiate between an industry expert and a dodgy rip-off artist. There are several important details that you should look for when deciding which plumber to use for your real estate business.
When you are looking for a quality plumber in the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast or Brisbane, you should ensure that they have a Queensland Plumbing and Drainage license from the QBCC (Queensland Building and Construction Commission). If you choose to work with an unlicensed plumber, you put yourself and your tenants at serious risk – especially if the plumber is working with gas for which a separate license is required. Ensure that you get evidence of licensing from a plumber before you allow them to undertake work in your real estate properties.
Real estate plumbing requires much more than plungers and wrenches – you need to work with a plumber who is ready for anything. Reliable plumbers will bring their own high quality equipment to the job site. Some examples of this may include high pressure water jetters, CCTV drain cameras and pipe relining equipment. They may also need welding equipment and excavators, depending on the size of the job. Be sure to check that any Brisbane plumber you plan on hiring has their own modern equipment.
Fast response times are a great sign that a plumber is the real deal. Industry professionals know that every second counts when it comes to real estate plumbing in South East Queensland. No matter whether you are looking for assistance with a new project or an existing property, getting a responsive and punctual plumber is essential.
Since plumbing problems often occur out of the blue, you should aim to hire plumbers who offer emergency call-outs. In a best-case scenario, they will offer their services 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, all year round. If a plumber you’re considering working with doesn’t respond quickly and doesn’t mention emergency services on their website, it’s a good idea to look elsewhere.
A Brisbane real estate plumber should be expected to offer numerous services from one single company. If a company only offers a short list of services, watch out. The last thing you need is the added stress of dealing with multiple plumbing contractors, so choose a plumber who can do it all.
Plumbing is a serious game, and it takes skill and experience to do it properly. Don’t risk using a tradesmen who is unfamiliar with the work at hand. There is so much at stake when it comes to real estate plumbing, so choose the best plumbing company you can possibly find.
