Plumbing is a competitive business and the one who has perfect knowledge and skill to handle any technical and mechanical issue in the industry is the one who would win jobs at the end of the day. Plumbing is a service type of business where you don't sell your products but rather your service to the customers and people always have a high expectation for a service type of business.
Having a lot of customers for your plumbing business is going to earn you a lot of money. But does that mean that you give them a faulty service so that the problem seems resolved temporarily but happens again, so that you could be called again for the job?
If your customers have to call you every other day to resolve the issue in your house again, and again, they’re gling to think that you are going to think that you’re inept in your business, and they are probably going to change their plumber. This way you’re not only going to lose one customer, you’re also going to lose your reputation. Soon people may stop asking for your service again, and this cycle is probably going to continue.
What can be the issue here?
The number one thing to consider is if you or your plumbers really are skilled enough to solve the issue. If not, it’s probably better for you to get some training in the problem area before you continue your business. If skill is not the issue, there is a high chance that the kind of tools you use are quite faulty and are not bringing forth the results that they have to.
Tools are the heart of the service:
As said earlier, the tools are the next important thing to your own skill. Each plumber deals with different types of issues and hence needs different tools. A person dealing with just repairing works for sinks and showers may not need all the tools that a plumber who is working on a construction site to install the whole waterline system of the house.
So the first thing you need to do is consider the purpose and nature of your plumbing business.
Do not buy unnecessary supplies that you might never use, and waste your money on it.
Research plumbing supplies and find the prices in different areas. Supplies are a one time investment, so do not think about having to ship them from a different place as a loss. For example, if you own an El Cajon plumbing service, but can find the tools you need only in an Oceanside plumbing supply store, go ahead and buy it there.
Look for quality rather than cost since a better quality tool will last longer, and save you money in the long run. For example, if the El Cajon plumbing supply store products at a cheaper rate, but poorer quality than the Oceanside plumbing supply store which has a slightly higher price, but better quality.
