How To Choose The Best Commercial Plumber in Perth

Choosing the best commercial plumber is an important task for any business owner or industrial outlet – all of which only deserve the best Western Australia has to offer.

Not only are you looking for an expert that can tackle small projects from time to time, but most projects are massive undertakings that require a lot of effort, safety, and skill.

That’s why it’s so important to choose the best commercial plumber available here in Western Australia. You don’t want to be left with just anyone when it comes to connecting or repairing water mains, sewer or gas lines, or fuel services. These need to be handled by the most experienced and reliable contractors so that you receive positive long-term results.

Admittedly, there are quite a few companies claiming to be the best commercial plumbers. So how can you tell who is tops and who is too good to be true?

Research and requirements are key for any project, and piping is no exception.

It starts and ends with experience.

Commercial plumbing is a high risk, high stress job that’s not for the new or the faint of heart. You’re going to want to work with someone who has years and years of experience, not a few days or just a couple of jobs, working on “large” projects. Be sure to ask any potential service provider how long they have been in business and how many years of experience they and their team members have before you take one more step.

Next is going to be licensing. It’s forbidden for home and business owners to do piping of their own, at any scale, because of safety precautions and the level of expertise needed to do the work right. Licensing is another way to gauge a plumber’s experience and their level of expertise. You never want to work with an unlicensed professional.

Insurance nearly goes hand in hand with licensing. With so much at stake during large commercial jobs, you should always make sure the service provider is insured to do the work described. This will protect not only your property but also everyone involved..

Warranties are another thing to keep in mind, one that you might not think of at first. While pipes, fixtures, and appliances come with their own guarantees for quality from the manufacturer, often they are only as good and operational as the job that installs them in the first place. To that end, you’ll want to find out if your service provider offers any workmanship warranties or other sureties that back up the work they do, so you don’t have to worry about quality.

With these priorities in mind, you can start to grill any potential service provider to make sure they have the right stuff.

• “Can I see a copy of your licence and business registration?”
• “What insurance coverage do you have for your business?”
• “What warranties are included in the products or services for this job?”
• “Do you offer additional workmanship guarantees?”
• “How many years have you been in business?”
• “Who are some of your most notable customers?”
• “Can I speak with customer references about their experience?”
• “What experience do you have specifically with my project needs?”
• “How long will it take you to complete this job?”
• “Do you outsource labour or use permanent employees?”
• “Do you charge flat fees or by the hour?”
• “What areas of Western Australia do you service?”
• “What safety checks are included in your workflow?”
• “Do you provide emergency call outs? If so, are there extra charges?”

If you own or operate a commercial or industrial facility and need piping work done, there’s no question that you’ll need to hire out a plumber. Nearly anything involving water or gas service to a building of any shape or size is required by law to go through an expert. There’s simply no DIY when it comes to piping. And for commercial jobs, that becomes even more important as you have compliance and insurance to keep in line with.

The real significance here is that you choose a commercial expert and not one that does mainly residential projects. While they’re both technically plumbers, a residential service provider will not be well versed in all of the codes and regulations required to keep your building in compliance. What’s more, residential experts typically work on smaller projects (i.e. single family homes) and don’t have the experience to deal with complex systems and infrastructures found in commercial buildings like apartment complexes, shopping centres, and industrial facilities.
