Why hire a licensed plumber?
When something goes wrong with the plumbing in your home, the decision to try and tackle the problem yourself or hire a licensed plumber should be an easy one. Whether you think you might have the tools or basic knowledge to take on your plumbing system or not, it’s always best to get in touch with a local licensed plumber – no matter what your circumstances.
Legal aspects and insurance
In Western Australia, any plumbing work must legally be carried out by a licensed plumber. Any issues relating to your water supply systems, or your sanitary or drainage system must be tackled by the professionals. If you choose to take them on yourself, any problems won’t be covered by insurance – whereas a licensed plumber will not only have the knowledge and tools to fix your issues, but will provide a warranty for their workmanship.
Safety
Plumbing work must be undertaken by a licensed professional in WA for a number of good reasons – with safety at the forefront. Handing over the tools to a professional plumber means ensuring your own safety and the wellbeing of your family or other members of the household. Plumbing can be a tricky business, and taking it on yourself can lead to the contamination of drinking water, major leaks, potential breaks, and personal injury.
Long term costs
Hiring a professional will provide a long term fix for your issue, as well as advice on upkeep and what to look out for in the future. Attempting to fix the problem yourself could lead to bigger problems and potentially costly damage. Getting in touch with a professional from the get-go will save you money in the long term and relieve stress in the short term.
Knowledge and experience
Licensed plumbers go through rigorous training to retain their licenses in Australia. They are only given a license when it is deemed that they have the knowledge and expertise to carry out any level of plumbing work; from the basic to the tricky. Plumbers have the correct tools and fittings on hand, understand the hardware and homes in Australia, and know the best way to tackle each individual issue. Many are highly experienced, with years of training and work under their tool belts.
