Start Sewer Repairing Business

Sewer problem is the most irritating practical problem to deal with around the house. It isn’t only disruptive; it is also difficult to tackle. When it happens, there is no one else to call but a sewer technician.

Are you knowledgeable about sewer repair? Would you like a business in line with sewer repairs?

There couldn’t be a more disruptive incident for a residence, office or store than when its plumbing or sewerage system has gone bust. No home or establishment could function well if its faucet is leaking and its drains are clogged. Once it happens, there is no other else to call but a local sewer repair firm.

Is there enough number of sewer servicing companies in your area? Are they providing all the services for all the cleaning, maintenance and sewer repair needs of your community? If the answers to these questions are a “no”, it could mean there is still a room for a new sewer repair company in your city. And that new sewer company could be yours.

So what do you need to start a sewer servicing business? First, of course, you need experience in such work as faucet repair, excavating sewers and replacing pipes. You can obtain it by working for a similar business or undergoing a specific training. If you already have these, it is important that you also be certified. A certification is a credential to show that you are qualified to do a job that experts in the industry will declare as a work of a professional. You can get a certification by undergoing certain trainings or by passing a test of a certifying body. You can learn how to get a certification from your licensing office.

To start the business you must define certain criteria, including:

  • Your list of services or specialization. Usually, sewer servicing firms offer a listing of services other than repair, such as cleaning and, maintenance. However, you can break out from the mould by specializing in certain areas like emergency response.
  • Your area of coverage. There might be legal restrictions or jurisdiction issues about servicing in certain areas near you. Or, some areas might be too far, making a trip there too costly for the business.
  • Pricing system. You can charge by the hour or by job contract. Evaluate which is more convenient and possible for the business.
  • Office hours. Will you be an 8-5 outfit or a 24-hour business? Will you operate during weekends?
  • How big will the business be. Bigness refers to manpower. Understandably, a full-service business, an emergency response and a 7 day a week firm will require more manpower than a simple one.
    • For this business, you’d need a vehicle for getting around with your equipment like tank for disposing sewage, pipe dismantling and installing equipment, gloves, goggles, digging tools and safety gears.
