When something’s wrong with the plumbing in a house, a DIY-er’s first instinct is to try to fix the situation by themselves. In addition to getting a feeling of self-satisfaction, folks try the DIY route to save themselves a little bit of money. Trust us when we say you should never try to perform plumbing repairs by yourself.
Continue reading to learn a few of the many reasons to hire a professional to tackle all of your plumbing needs.
They save you time
The main reason we recommend hiring a plumber is to save yourself a ton of time. Trying to fix a situation yourself often means watching long YouTube videos or reading manuals to try and diagnose the problem. Then, you’ll likely need to make at least one trip to the hardware store to pick up all of the right tools and materials.
Instead of wasting your weekend or evening, just call a professional to fix the problem more efficiently.
They have the right tools
Even if you go to the largest home improvement store in town, there’s a good chance you won’t find the exact plumbing tool you need for the job. There are a ton of specialty tools out there that professional plumbers are sure to have in their arsenal already. When plumbers use the right tools for the job, you can rest easy knowing the repair will be completed the right way.
They’re licensed
Professionals must go through years of training and obtain a state license to practice plumbing. This training ensures they know just what they’re doing when they start working on your pipes or plumbing fixtures in your house. We recommend asking to see proof of licensure before agreeing to work with a plumber.
They can tackle many tasks
One of the best perks of hiring a professional is that they offer a variety of plumbing services. Whether it’s unclogging a toilet, fixing a leak or performing whole-house re-piping, a professional has you covered. They’re able to accomplish all of these different tasks due to their training and experience.
They provide permanent solutions
As long as you hire a reputable plumber, you can rest easy knowing their plumbing repairs will be high-quality long-term fixes. For example, after unclogging your sink, a plumber will use drain-cleaning tools or solutions to ensure the clog doesn’t return. Plumbers may also offer a warranty for added peace of mind.
They offer emergency services
Plumbing problems don’t only happen during regular business hours. If your pipes start leaking in the middle of the night or your toilet starts overflowing before you head to work in the morning, you can trust that your professional plumber will arrive as quickly as possible to resolve the issue.
