The ‘ICK’ Factor
Yes! Plumbing IS a dirty job. So much that people much prefer to pay plumbers to do the dirty work! This is why plumbers are so expensive.
It IS dirty and physical and sometimes involves working with sewage piping. Doran Plumbing and Drainage specializes in clogged sewer piping inside and outside and take pride in the service and workmanship they offer.
Water Is Life:
Water is life, as freshwater is necessary for every living organism on this planet. Your plumbing system delivers fresh drinking water for survival and provides water for cooking, bathing, cleaning, and dozens of other daily tasks. Running water also carries waste away from your home, keeping you and your family free from waste-borne disease.
Your plumbing system is, basically, the circulatory system of your home, so your plumber is its cardiologist, internist, and gastro-specialist all-in-one. Therefore, calling a licensed plumber for issues with water pressure, hot water systems, and drain cleaning, for example, is essential for keeping everything in working order.
Also, plumbing leaks are a one-way ticket to mould city, water damage, and structural instability, making your home dangerous and massively depreciating its resale value.
System Complexity:
Your home’s plumbing system is extraordinarily complex, with water lines running throughout the home and to the street, waste and vent systems in the walls, gas lines and toilets, sinks, bathtubs, and other plumbing fixtures. In other words, your home includes not just one plumbing system but multiple systems running concurrently.
This makes diagnosing and repairing issues an exacting and detail-oriented process. If you’ve ever attempted a plumbing repair yourself, you get where this is going. Most people take an “out of sight, out of mind” approach to the inner workings of their plumbing system, but it is precisely in these “out of sight” areas where problems arise.
If there is a leak somewhere behind your walls, every second counts.
Hidden Costs:
Plumbers also pay an incredible amount for insurance, wages, accountant and bookkeeper fees, administration fees and a whole different raft of bills including marketing, which all need to be accounted for by the charges on an invoice sent to a customer at the end of a job.
