It is understandable to want to save money by doing home repairs on your own. While it is simple enough to do many repairs around your house as do-it-yourself projects, plumbing issues can be a different story. Replacing a washer on a faucet is one thing – replacing a toilet or fixing other plumbing issues may be more difficult than it looks when you watch a DIY video on YouTube. Here are five plumbing issues that are better off left to the professionals.
- Toilet installations. Installing a new toilet is not rocket science but it also takes finesse and skill. Ensuring that it is properly set and sealed is important to prevent much bigger plumbing problems.
- Severely clogged drains. A small hair clog can be easy enough to remove but deeper, more severely clogged pipes should be handled by a plumber to solve the issue.
- Leaking pipes. While you may be able to fix a small leak under the bathroom sink, a leaking pipe behind a wall may require more expertise to reduce damage to your home.
- Sewer backups. Multiple drain backups need emergency plumbing repair. You may have a clogged or broken sewer line that could push contaminated sewage into your home.
- New appliances or fixtures. Many experienced DIY homeowners can handle replacing a washer or faucet. But when it comes to new appliances or fixtures that need to be plumbed into your home, call a professional.
Even small plumbing issues can be better off in the hands of a professional. The time and money you spend going back and forth to the hardware store can be avoided with a call to your local plumber.
