All of us can reflect on one good teacher we loved during our education. It could have been their kind nature, or the way they handled the class, or maybe it was the way they could turn a boring subject into something interesting. Not all teachers are good teachers and the same can be said about plumbers. Not all plumbers are as good as each other.

While there may be many plumbing companies to choose from in your local area, not all Sydney plumbing services are created equal. If you’re asking around for a recommendation for a plumber near you, ask these questions!

1.Do they offer free quotes/reimbursement

Quoting is a necessary part of business. Without it, a business cannot survive. There are many plumbing services that will charge for a quote, and will then remove their quote fee once they have won the job.

2. Are quotes accurate with no hidden surprises

It’s important for quotes to state exactly what is included and what hasn’t been allowed for. This helps customers understand that they are liable for further costs if problems arise. Our quotes are presented with no inflation and no hidden surprises.

3. Do they offer a 24 hour emergency Sydney plumber service

Not all Sydney plumbing services offer a 24 hour emergency service. Pick one that does. Why? Because if you’re an existing customer and everything goes bad on a Sunday night, you’ll get priority over a random customer calling up. The unexpected water leak or blocked sewer can happen at the most inconvenient time!

4. We show up when we say we will, and tell you what we’re doing

It’s a common perception that plumbers won’t show up on time, Make sure your plumbing company will advise you on approximate times of arrival. If they’re late, they should ring you. It’s not ideal to have a tradie come late, especially if you’re waiting to go to work, but if they are going to be late, they should at least call and give you the opportunity to reschedule.

5. Make sure they know what they’re doing.

Even appliance installations like water filter or dishwasher installation, can require a broad skill set. And if there’s some unforeseeable issue onsite, then you really need some mad plumbing skills or you risk disaster. The pipe feeding the water supply in, the unit itself, and the drainage system each must work in unison, or you risk disaster. A hot water system installation needs specialist skills if you want it installed for maximum efficiency. There’s more to plumbing than you’d think.
