What Is A Plumbing Contractor?

Oct 26, 2022

When your plumbing system meets a problem, you might be tempted to fix it yourself. While you might think you're saving money and time by going DIY, minor plumbing problems can turn into serious complications if not handled professionally. That's why your plumbing issues should always be handled by a plumbing contractor. If you're wondering what contractors do and how they can help, read on - we've put together this handy guide with everything you need to know about these expert tradies. 

What Is A Plumbing Contractor?

Plumbing contractors are qualified to carry out plumbing work on building or construction sites. They're often hired by companies who are reviewing the structural elements of a property and seeking resolution of infrastructure issues. Plumbing contractors, therefore, go beyond typical plumbing work such as unblocking drains or repairing a leaky tap. You can trust a licenced plumbing contractor to be reliable and trustworthy and to perform work of a superior quality. 

What Services Do Plumbing Contractors Perform?

Plumbing contractors are here to assist on new building sites and on renovation or remodelling projects. They can assist with:
 

  • Construction: Laying sewer lines and infrastructure, relocating plumbing lines and pipes, advising on casements and accompanying sections of the system, and diverting existing lines and mains. 
  • Existing Plumbing: Repairing pipes, water mains and pressure systems, preventing backflow issues, arranging checks and assessments, and relocating any pipes that might be at risk following changes to structures. 
  • New Plumbing: Designing and laying new systems, including waste and access chambers, sanitisation, pier boring, servicing low and high pressure systems, and roof draining for major syphoning systems. 

Why Should I Choose A Contractor For My Commercial Plumbing Project?

Plumbing contractors are essential when you're undertaking any building or renovation work. These plumbing experts specialise in all areas of construction, and will make sure each area of construction runs smoothly alongside plumbing installations and updates. In contrast, a commercial plumber is more familiar with systems already installed, and so usually don't carry the knowledge needed to advise you on a new build or remodel. You might be feeling deterred by the cost of hiring a plumbing contractor for your job, but they're really worth every penny. Forgoing expert plumbing advice and solutions when you need them leads to taking unnecessary risks with pipes, water mains and infrastructure - and this can just lead to more significant repair costs, lengthier projects, and deteriorating relationships with potential clients.
