COVID Plumbers & Gas Fitters
What is a Safe COVID Plumber & Gas Fitter?
In March 2020 the World Health Organization officially declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Since then, we have seen a significant change in the way business is conducted around Australia.
So how does this affect plumbing? And why the need for COVID safe plumbers?
Plumbing works for repairs and maintenance are considered essential and can still continue in South East QLD.
The Master Plumbers Association of Queensland (MPAQ) regularly releases COVID plumbing guidelines that must be legally followed. Capital Plumbing strictly adheres to these guidelines and those issued by the Queensland Government. Unfortunately, there are still companies not adhering to these guidelines, resulting in large fines.

- Renovations, repairs, and maintenance to ensure a property is accessible, safe, and functional is considered essential.
