Reasons to Put the Wrench Down and Call a Plumber

“Back away slowly … reach for the phone … and call a professional plumber.”

Okay, that’s a bit over-dramatic. But the consequences of a poorly done plumbing job can be severe. Unless you’re tackling a small task like tightening a loose nut, having your own set of commercially available tools doesn’t turn you into an actual plumber. Here are a few reasons why it is best to call the professionals.

Professional plumbers have the correct tools

You can purchase a wide range of home plumbing tools, like wrench kits. But only professionals have access to the expensive tools necessary to complete most jobs. These tools aren’t only pricey for consumers to purchase—they also require specialized training to operate. Some examples include drain cleaning, and video camera equipment for drain inspections. A professional plumber will arrive at your house with a van fully stocked with the finest equipment so they can get the majority of jobs completed on the first visit.

The potential for water damage

This is the most urgent reason never to attempt any type of major plumbing work as a DIY job. Mistakes involving plumbing pipes can lead to massive leaks and flooding, and water damage is expensive and difficult to remediate. A plumber will see any work is done right the first time. Professionals are also insured to protect you from any liability.

Professionals work efficiently

Do you really want to plunge a whole day of your weekend into a plumbing project that could potentially go wrong? When you look at it this way, you aren’t saving money by DIYing. A plumber rewards you not only with accurate work, but work that takes up little time. Whether you need repairs to restore hot water in your shower because of a broken mixing valve or you’re interested in having old pipes replaced, a professional plumber will create minimal disruption, finish the job fast, and let you get back to your life.
