Plumbing call out charges vary largely based on where you live and what time of day you require a plumber. Standard call out charges in a metro locality should not differ markedly between individual plumbers, as competition will ensure they remain competitive – though more experienced plumbers will typically charge more for their services. Most plumbers will stipulate a minimum call out charge, with an additional charge for parts and labour. Some may advertise no call out charge at all, but have considerably higher rates per hour.
24/7 Call Out Charges
After hours call out charges to effect emergency repairs will be charged at a premium. The most common emergency plumbing scenarios in the home include drain blockages, burst pipes, faulty hot water systems and broken taps.
Plumbing Qualifications
Plumbers are a licensed trade and typically undergo training under an apprenticeship system. This takes place, with practical and theory components, over a number of years during which trainees are paid for the work they undertake. They are governed by local or national plumbing codes which stipulate health and safety regulations to be followed, as well standards for products and materials utilised.
What to ask your plumber?
Before you hire a plumber, there are a few basic questions you can ask to ensure you receive the best service. These include:
* Are they licensed by the local plumbing authority?
* Are they registered with the local plumbing authority?
* Are they in possession of public liability insurance?
* What is their call out rate?
* What is their hourly rate?
* Do they provide detailed quotes?
* Do they have customer referrals?

Plumbers tend to get a bad rap in popular culture. It seems that anytime they are depicted on television or in movies they are the butt of some cruel joke. In fact, those jokes often center on the plumber’s pants sagging just a bit too low for comfort. But when you get right down to it, these hardworking technicians provide a service that few others would dare to attempt. When disaster strikes in the bathroom, only a select few people are up to the task.
I’m a hands-on kind of guy who likes taking on challenging new projects, but I had never tried until about a month ago. Prior to that I had hung my own drywall, done all of my home’s electrical wiring and tried my hand at carpentry, but DIY plumbing was the final frontier. I hadn’t realized how complicated the process of fixing a toilet could be, and it’s given me a whole new appreciation for plumbers’ noble profession.
