Plumbers and drainers' employment
Plumbers and drainers are usually employed as sub-contractors by builders, but you may employ one directly for repairs and new installations.
Plumbing work
Plumbers and drainers are needed for plumbing work at single residential homes, dual occupancies, commercial, industrial and public buildings. This includes work relating to drains, water supply, rainwater tanks, greywater systems, hot water systems, lawn watering systems where backflow prevention is needed, sprinkler or spray systems with pipe work fixed at or below ground level, in-ground pop-up sprinklers and onsite sewer manholes.
Check licensing
Plumbers and drainers need to be licensed. You can find a plumber or drainer who has the relevant qualifications and experience from our list of licensed plumbers and drainers.
Regulation
Anyone who believes a licensed or formerly licensed certifier has not fulfilled their obligations may put their concerns in writing by giving us feedback. Complaints may result in disciplinary action.
