Priority 1 Plumbing Contractors Brisbane acquire ‘No-Digging’ Reline Equipment
Mar 2, 2018
Plumbing Contractors Brisbane are not all created equally it seems. Here are three things to consider when hiring a local Brisbane Plumber that could save you a small fortune.
Brisbane City, Australia - March 1, 2018 /PressCable/ —
If you are about to call a plumber, one of the most important things that you need to check is that your local plumber is fully licensed against a recognised government body such as the QBCC for Queensland Plumbers.
Having a license to operate as a plumbing contractor not only means that the contractor has the industry standard skills that will allow them to fix the problem, but also means the home owner can also be assured that they have some recourse through government bodies if something goes horribly wrong.
We found that two of the most important things that you need to check in addition to the licence are:
1. Experience
The more experience a contractor has, the more practical his solutions become. If a contractor gets his license for the first time, he is only aware of the things that should be done “by the book”. The more experience he gains, the more practical his solutions will be, since he already knows the best solutions for the problem based on his own experience as a plumber. A quality Plumber in Brisbane won’t just quote the cheapest price in order to get the job, only to have the customer call out another plumber in 6-8 months time to do the job all over again. Leaking Taps are a classic example of this, with the majority of plumbers quoting on cheap weekend-warrior hardware store taps which are commonly known to burst and flood the living room floor a few short years down the track. The price difference in the taps can be large.. but the expense of having to do the job twice, after re-carpeting is far greater.
2. Equipment
If you want to be sure that a plumbing contractor is a real pro, you need to check whether they have the right plumbing equipment.
Brisbane Plumber Priority 1 Plumbing Director David Bowden says professional plumbing equipment is expensive, and all too often plumbers simply don’t reinvest back into their business to ensure they have right equipment for the job when it comes to things like blocked drains. Bowden says It can take more than a decade to acquire all the right gear whilst remaining competitive on pricing along the way, but customers often just go with the absolute cheapest price without realising that the price difference can often reflect the lack of experience and lack of equipment the plumber has at his disposal; causing the plumbing problem to quickly reappear only a few weeks or months down the track. If drains aren’t cleared with the right equipment, it simply means tree roots will reappear, blocking the drains again within a matter of months.
Having been in the business for over 20 years, Priority 1 Plumbing has got the latest drain and sewer technology, including fibre optic diagnostic equipment that lets them see inside drains and sewers, and allows them to pinpoint the problem. “We have 4 cameras able to get inside drains as small as 20mm. We also have the latest high pressure drain jetters, and even no-dig trench-less reline technology” Mr Bowden proudly boasts.
Mr Bowden goes on to mention that with their latest equipment, Priority 1 Plumbing can repair sewer and drain lines underground without digging a trench. “It’s a fantastic innovation that most companies cannot provide due to equipment costs, and it saves your garden, patios and driveway first and foremost. But in addition to that it can save you the cost of having to repair and replace your landscaping and driveway too. As a further benefit we are often able to save lines that other companies have to replace” Bowden continues.
Another example given is when it comes to leaks. Leak detection equipment on certain jobs is essential, but, Mr. Bowden stresses, the equipment doesn’t come cheap, and ripping out sections of walls to find the leak can actually be more expensive for the owner who thinks he is actually saving money by hiring the cheapest guy after a ring-around, but who may not have the right equipment. That often ends up costing the customer far more. “Always go with an experienced licensed professional, even if it does mean paying a bit more. It often saves time and money for the customer in the long run” Mr Bowden is quoted as saying.

Why Anthropic's blockbuster IPO is getting a muted reception in Korea
Anthropic's planned initial public offering (IPO) is drawing a muted response in Korea despite expectations it could raise a record-high $90.4 billion, as local brokerages and asset managers shy away from the deal following fallout from SpaceX's IPO, industry officials said Sunday. There were no Korean brokerages among the 22 underwriters named in Anthropic's S-1 registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Korean retail investors are therefore unlikely to gain access to shares through the IPO. Those in Korea will still be able to invest through exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Major asset managers, including Mirae Asset, KB, NH-Amundi and Samsung Asset Management, have launched a range of related ETFs since news of Anthropic's IPO plan emerged. The funds have provisions allowing index committees to consider adding AI companies such as Anthropic once they go public in the U.S. Still, asset managers are taking a cautious approach to launching and promoting the products, emphasizing broader investment themes such as U.S. technology, large language models and
Gov't says Nvidia's Korea pledges remain intact despite Jensen Huang's exit
The Korean government said Nvidia's existing partnership commitments to Korea remain intact despite disgraced CEO Jensen Huang's departure from the artificial intelligence (AI) giant. However, uncertainties linger as remarks by Elon Musk and others suggest that much of the cooperation may have relied on Huang's personal verbal commitments. The Ministry of Science and ICT said it held a meeting with Nvidia officials Friday, a day after Huang resigned as the company's CEO, and confirmed that plans to supply graphics processing units (GPUs) to Korea and other collaborative projects remain on track. “The second vice minister presided over a meeting with Nvidia and reconfirmed that the company plans to proceed with the supply of 260,000 GPUs and cooperation with Korean companies as previously announced,” Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Science and ICT Bae Kyung-hoon wrote on Facebook Friday. “We also agreed to continue ongoing projects, including connecting Korean AI chips with Nvidia's platform through NVLink, building AI computing infrastructure, conducting joint research on ph
Megaspeed says Alice Huang left firm in August 2025
SINGAPORE — Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed International, under scrutiny for allegedly steering Nvidia chips to China, said on Sunday that suspected spy Alice Huang had left the firm more than a year ago. Megaspeed is suspected of helping Chinese firms get around U.S. export controls by buying Nvidia chips for its data centers in Southeast Asia and routing them to China. Its former director Alice Huang has been identified in U.S. media as an alleged Chinese intelligence asset who had a relationship with Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang, who resigned as the tech giant's chief executive on Thursday. "Ms. Alice Huang officially left Megaspeed effective Aug. 30, 2025, and currently has no role with the company," the firm said in reply to an AFP query. "Megaspeed does not comment on Ms. Huang's personal and private matters." Alice Huang and Jensen Huang are not related. Beijing has denied the spying allegations. Jensen Huang acknowledged an extramarital affair in a Nov. 8 letter to Nvidia employees that did not name the woman involved. He resigned days later. Nvidia's board has sai

Like Apple after Steve Jobs? Analysts debate Nvidia’s post-Jensen Huang future
As the technology world debates how Nvidia is likely to fare without Jensen Huang, analysts keep returning to the same analogy: the departure of legendary CEO Steve Jobs from Apple. The similarities between the two cases are clear: a top American tech company forced to move on from a visionary leader. And Apple’s history is all the more intriguing given it replaced Jobs twice – with dramatically different results. Huang resigned from Nvidia on Thursday amid media reports of his alleged...

Megaspeed rejects claims over supply chain as Nvidia-linked scrutiny intensifies
Megaspeed, the Singaporean company caught in the Nvidia controversy, has pushed back against reported claims about its supply chain practices and distanced itself from former CEO Alice Huang. The firm said in a statement on Sunday that it “conducts legitimate and lawful business” and had hired external legal counsel to investigate media reports concerning its business, supply chain and global operations. Megaspeed said Huang officially left the company on August 30, 2025, and no longer had any...
