Experience is always Worth It!

Plumbers and plumbing companies come with varying levels of knowledge, experience, and skills.  You may find that some inexperienced plumbers come across as professionals, however, they simply won’t have the level of expertise and the ability to solve various issues that an experienced plumber would have.  For better quality service, you should explore all of your options in order to find the plumber or plumbing company that best suits your needs.

Experience

A plumber with only professional credentials but minimal experience will not have encountered as many plumbing issues.  If a problem proves to be too difficult for an inexperienced plumber to solve they may end up deferring the work to someone else.  Choosing a plumber with experience from the start will not only save you time, but money as well.

Reliability

Nothing feels better than knowing right away who to turn to when a problem arises.  Experienced plumbers who have encountered various problems numerous times will not only fix them quickly but will also ensure you won’t need someone to come out and fix a given problem again.  Reliable plumbers who turn up on time are hard to find as are plumbing companies that emphasize quality customer service.

Cleanliness

Experienced plumbers bring with them knowledge of the correct plumbing process required to fix your plumbing issue.   They will know how to properly handle your household appliances and maintain cleanliness while working to provide your home with quality plumbing.  Inexperienced plumbers or plumbing companies may leave things a mess when they’re finished, and they may put your appliances at risk for greater issues or total failure.

Even if there seem to be benefits to hiring an inexperienced plumber or plumbing, those benefits may not be worth it in the end.  Experienced plumbers will always seek to provide you with the best quality services at affordable prices.  Do a little bit of research before hiring someone, and your plumbing system and home will thank you for it.

    Communication pre visit was excellent. Yarra Valley water representative said that the problem was on our property and that you should have fixed it. We’re unsure about that and pleased that it was fixed promptly.

    I have been dealing with Doherty Plumbing for some years and I find them to be professional, knowledgeable and prompt. Their costs are very competitive. They are quick and always fix the problem. They have been so competent and reliable, that I will always call them and never go anywhere else.

    Doherty plumbing work was excellent. Very responsive, arrived on time and fixed the issue quickly. Brian and his crew kept me informed at every step and I could not be happier with the end result.

    Of the many plumbing services they offer, this is the second time I've engaged them for different types of work. James has been very helpful and efficient in scheduling a time for a roof leak repair. Very pleased that the work was completed promptly. Trust that they have addressed the issues at hand.

    The team from Doherty Plumbing responded promptly to my emergency call to unblock the sewer drain in our backyard. Tim and Angus were professional, courteous and thorough in their work. I highly recommend this business to take care of your plumbing issues.

    George came; did my work quietly and respectfully. Noted a problem (big gaping crack in the pipe under the bench), and asked if we would like to change it. No pressure applied, and just added it to his list when I gave the go ahead. Would use this company again and again.

    Fantastic service. I called with a question about my hot water service and within 24hrs Brian had been out and fixed the problem. Great service, great turnaround times and fair pricing too.
