What to Look For
- Experience with your specific type of plumbing system
- Proper tools — not improvising with makeshift equipment
- Willingness to diagnose before quoting a price
- Knowledge of local water pressure and supply issues
- Clean working habits (protecting your floors and fixtures)
Red Flags to Watch Out For
- Suggesting full pipe replacement when a simple repair would work
- No proper plumbing tools — using generic hand tools only
- Refusing to show you the problem before fixing it
- Demanding payment for materials upfront without receipts
Questions to Ask Before Hiring
- Can you show me exactly where the problem is?
- Is this a repair or does the part need full replacement?
- Do you provide any warranty on your work?
- Will you clean up after the job is done?
Water pressure in many Accra neighbourhoods fluctuates during peak hours. If you're installing a water heater or pump, ask your plumber to factor in local pressure conditions — a pressure gauge test takes 5 minutes and can prevent future issues.
