How to pick a good plumber
Ranked #41,379 in Home & Garden, #676,211 overall
It is important when finding a plumber to ensure they have the appropriate qualifications.
We have all heard horror stories of people getting an amateur to do a job only to have it cost much more in the long run.
A small problem not taken care of by a professional plumber could quickly escalate into a large problem that not only will cost more money, it could also put your family in a dangerous environment.

What to ask for?
License: Ask to see photo ID with their plumbers license. If they can not provide this, then find someone else. Check the back of the ID to ensure they are qualified to carry out the work you need.
Insurance Do they or the company the represent have public liability insurance? If something was to go wrong, you don't want to be the one to pocket the expenses.
Compliance Certificate: A compliance certificate should be issued within a week on the completion. In Victoria a compliance certificate is mandatory for all plumbing jobs over $750.

Where to look for good plumbers?
Word of Mouth. Friends and family may be able to recommend a good plumber, or at least point out ones to avoid.
Yellow Pages is a good place to start if no one can recommend a professional plumber.
The internet: While Googling for a plumber would work, there are quite a lot of irrelevant plumbing pages on the internet that could have you tearing your hair out. Try searching for some national plumber associations such as Master Plumbers, which can put you in touch with a professional plumber.
