Adelaide Advertiser Report on ‘Cowboy’ Tradesmen

If a Plumber Isn't a PIA Member, Then They Shouldn't Get Your Business

The importance of using Accredited Plumbers was shockingly detailed in the Adelaide Advertiser earlier this month.

The Plumbing Industry Association of South Australia and other Industry bodies have voiced serious concerns over the growing amount of shoddy and dangerous work conducted in Adelaide, and the failure of State Regulators to properly investigate incidents of poor plumbing and gas work.

Dodgy tradesmen are operating with greater confidence because of a lack of regulation and punishment. Substandard plumbing and gas-work can have serious health effects and in certain circumstances, be fatal. The importance of working to industry standards cannot be underestimated.

Guidelines set by the PIA regarding standards, codes of conduct and pricing, mean you can be confident that work conducted to a best-practice level.
