Nobody likes the high plumbing bills when a plumber is called in to solve a plumbing problem. Often, one will feel that the plumber overcharge for his services. However, this may not really be the case as setting up a plumbing company requires high capital in buying the necessary equipments, plumbing supplies as well as hiring professional and competent plumbers who can help homeowners resolve their problems effectively. Without charging a high fees, owners of plumbing companies will not be able to recoup their investments as well as getting the right people to solve your plumbing problems (whether big or small) in your homes.
The equipments and supplies used by a plumber do not come cheap. A visit to your neighbourhood hardware shop will testify to this. Not only to simple fixtures like faucets or pipes cost a lot, the equipments like high pressure water jet machines, electrical plumber snake are all with hefty price tags. As with any business, the plumbing companies will factor all these costs into their service fees to recoup their capital investments. Surely you will also do that as a business owner, right? Typically, the high costs of the equipments and plumbing supplies means that the business owners will only start making real profit after five to six years in the business. If you are a business owner, will you want to wait for so long to get your investments back?
Hiring an experienced and competent plumber also means paying higher wages, thus, if you want to engage competent plumber to solve your problem effectively, a higher fee is expected. If you choose a plumber solely on price, you often will end up with one who is new and do not have the expertise and experience to solve your problem and end up paying for to get the work done right.
From the above, you can see that the high fees do not mean that they overcharge or earn a lot. What's more, a plumber provides real value to you and the whole society by being there to help you in times of need. Plumbing jobs are complicated and require years of learning and on-the-job training before a plumber become professional and competent.
From the above, I hope you will understand why plumbing bills are high not because they overcharge but because it is necessary to cover their business costs and provide a high level of standard. We need to appreciate the plumbers for investing their money and time into their business to provide us the best plumbing services we need.
