If you haven’t already, jump on over to our Pipe Relining Brisbane article to learn what pipe relining is, how it works and how it can help you or your business.
1. Pipe Relining Experience
You’ll be looking for a pipe relining team who have experience. There are a few ways to determine who is going to be the best fit for your job.
If you’re researching online, make sure that your pipe reliners have the following on their website:
- Case studies
- Number of years experience
- Testimonials
If someone isn’t showcasing their experience and work they’ve completed, it’s likely they’re still green in this area and don’t have the years of training and practical experience under their belts for your job.
We’ve got a lot of experience with pipe relining and we’ve got a range of case studies and testimonials to show what we’re capable of and how they can help you get your job done right.
2. Warranties & Guarantees
When you’re researching which companies to use for pipe relining, take a look at their warranties, guarantees and how they’re maintained.
There are businesses who offer a 2 year guarantee on their services with no follow up maintenance. When you’re spending money on serious plumbing issues, is 2 years enough for you?
At Emu we offer a 20 year guarantee on all pipe relining workmanship. And Brawoliner, our chosen liner, offers a 50 year warranty on their product. So we expect our products and work to stand the test of time!
3. What Does Your Pipe Relining Quote Look Like?
You may be tempted by the lowest quote. But a bit of scrutiny can go a long way.
You’ll need to find out why a particular company can offer a lower price. There are some things to assess when you’re looking at your quote:
-
- What are the lengths of pipe that are being repaired?
- Will you be patch relining or inversion relining?
- What is the damage caused by – will you need to clean out tree roots?
- Will there be pieces of broken pipe that need to be removed prior to relining?
- What’s the guarantee and maintenance service?
Your pipe relining team should be able to specify these variables in your quote so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for.
When it comes to back up service – you will want to be assured your team will respond to your questions and give you confidence to keep your drain running smoothly.
Finding the right pipe relining team for your business can be daunting, but with the simple tips above it can be a whole lot easier.
