Starting Your Phoenix Plumbing Business

July 16, 2011 | Author: Gin Grey | Posted in Plumbing

A business in plumbing would do very well in Arizona if you advertise as a Phoenix plumbing business. You will have competition, no doubt. Phoenix is a large city. But there is plenty of work in this field in that area.

If you intend to lease space for your business, it might be wise to be on the outskirts of the city. Although you would have a drive to get to your Phoenix customers, it will be worth the money you save in the cost of the lease, as the rate will be cheaper.

Sometimes the best businesses are from home, as the overhead is little to none. If you have a garage where you can store your equipment, piping, and so forth, this might be a very intelligent alternative. You can probably even advertise your services with a sign on your lawn, but you will most likely need to get a variance for the sign from your Planning Board. If you are in the outer towns, you will also get the business around you before another plumbing in Phoenix does. The belief is usually when a plumber has set up shop in a city, their rates will be more, as their overhead is high.

One thing everyone in Arizona with a home and a yard needs is irrigation. If you are also an irrigation specialist, you may find your niche in this area, as well. The watering of plants in these desert areas is a tedious, repetitive job, as rain is very scarce here.

Most people have a desert landscape in which they use large boulders, different colored gravels, and flagstone or other paving stones as decorative accents in their yard. These may be accompanied by draught tolerant plants, such as cacti, pampas grass, and various variegated shrubs. Because this is a desert environment, these plants will need to be watered in a timely manner in order for them to survive.

The most convenient irrigation systems for the customer are on a timer. These timers need to be set so that the customer is not bothered by the chore of going out into the harsh elements, that is 115 degrees Fahrenheit at times, to water his plants. Instead, the timer is scheduled to turn on two or three times per day. Most likely, it will not be on during the hours that the sun is scorching, as the plants may burn. The sprinklers used can be the type that move in a circular motion as they squirt the water to the plants, so that all the plants in that area get watered.

If you are going to have a plumbing business in Arizona, you should definitely include irrigation specialist on your business card. This will generate much more business and get you many more customers when you offer Phoenix plumbing services.
