🚿 How to Choose a Plumber in Kenya – 5 Things to Check Before You Book

Whether it’s a leaking tap in Syokimau, a blocked toilet in Kilimani, or a burst pipe in Eldoret—plumbing problems don’t wait. But finding a plumber who’s skilled, punctual, and trustworthy? That’s where the real hustle begins.

Here are five things to check before you book a plumber in Kenya:

✅ 1. Are They Verified and Reviewed?

You don’t want to gamble with your water system. A verified plumber means peace of mind.

What to look for:

Verified badge on the Balozy App
Ratings and reviews from real clients
Photos of past jobs
Clear service descriptions (repairs, installations, emergency fixes)

💡 On Balozy, every plumber is background-checked and reviewed—so you book with confidence.

🔧 2. Do They Bring the Right Tools and Parts?

A professional plumber should arrive ready—with spanners, sealants, washers, and pipe cutters—not ask you to “tafuta hardware.”

Ask before booking:

✅Do you carry your own tools and fittings?
✅Can you handle PVC, copper, or PPR pipes?
✅Do you offer same-day repairs?

📍 3. Are They Local to Your Area?

Booking someone from your estate or cluster means faster response and better follow-up.

Balozy Tip: Use the “Near Me” filter to find plumbers in Nairobi, Machakos, Eldoret, Kisumu, or wherever you are.

💬 4. Do They Communicate Clearly?

You want someone who confirms your booking, explains the issue, and gives a fair quote—not someone who disappears or improvises.

Look for:

✅Fast response time on the app
✅Transparent pricing and service scope
✅Respectful, professional tone

🧼 5. Do They Offer Post-Service Support?

Plumbing fixes can fail if not done right. A verified plumber should offer follow-up or workmanship guarantees.

Ask:

✅Do you offer a service warranty?
✅Can I reach you for touch-ups or rechecks?
✅Do you clean up after the job?
