DIY home Plumbing Repairs can be quite gratifying, and not just because of how much it can potentially save you. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of satisfaction you get when you successfully complete a project you never thought you’d be able to.
Well, however handy you might be, sooner or later you’re going to encounter a repair that’s better left to someone with the proper training, tools, experience – and yes, even a license – to get the job done safety and effectively. Take, for example, these pretty typical plumbing repairs:
-
Water heater repair or replacement.
Whether you’re dealing with an electric or gas water heater, it’s best to leave the work to a professional, licensed plumber. They will ensure that your unit is operating safely and performing at peak efficiency for your household’s needs.
-
Cracked or burst pipes.
Tightening a loose pipe is simple enough, but when you’re faced with a broken pipe that needs to be replaced entirely, fitted, and possibly soldered with a propane torch, it’s time to call a pro.
-
Kitchen or bath renovations.
With a few tools and a little know-how, most DIY’ers can update kitchen and bath fixtures without much difficulty. But if your renovation (or addition) requires adding or moving a water line, a plumber should be on hand to get the job done correctly.
- Frequent clogs.
It’d be silly (and expensive) to call a plumber for every slow drain or clogged toilet. But if you notice that a sink, tub or toilet gets clogged constantly, put down the plunger and pick up the phone. Your plumbing pipes could have an extensive build-up grease, age-related corrosion, root invasion from trees and shrubs, and similar causes that render routine plunging or liquid drain cleaners relatively useless.
