How to Save Money in Plumbing Works
Too many first time homeowners in Pakistan face the same frustrating problems with architecture and construction services.
Buy Materials from Wholesale Markets
Karachi’s Rexer Lane and Lahore’s Beadon Road offer pipes and fittings at 10–20% cheaper rates than retail shops. Bulk-buy for larger projects.
DIY Fixes for Common Issues
Fix minor leaks yourself using PTFE tape (Rs. 50) or unclog drains with a plunger (Rs. 500). Avoid DIY for sewer lines or gas pipes.
Prevent Leaks – Low-Cost Maintenance Tips
Insulate pipes before winter (Rs. 100–200/meter foam sleeves). Clean overhead tanks yearly to prevent sludge buildup.
Government Schemes for Water Conservation
Check Punjab Saaf Pani Project or Sindh Drinking Water Program for subsidized pipe installations in rural areas.
Avoid Overpaying – Red Flags to Watch For
Unlicensed plumbers quoting below-market rates (often use substandard materials). No written warranty for leaks.
