6 Plumbing Tasks Best Left to Professionals

August 24, 2023

professional plumber

Today, it is possible to do a search online and find ways to fix problems around your home. When it comes to plumbing, however, there are some jobs that should be left to professionals. In fact, not consulting a professional could end up being time consuming and costly in the long run. For example, certain leaks can cause damage that will be thousands of dollars to repair. Here are six plumbing tasks that are best left to the professionals.

Issues With Hot Water

There may also be issues with existing hot water lines but finding the source of the problem can be complicated. They also tend to only be discovered when you really need everything to work as expected.You might be doing a renovation and want to extend hot water to your new bathroom and kitchen, for example, only to realize that there are serious problems with the current hot water line that requires immediate care.

Installation of new hot water lines or fixing other related problems need to be left to professionals. A qualified plumber is in a better position to find the source of the problem more efficiently. They are also experienced in diagnosing gas and electric heater problems.

Repairing the Main Line

If your main line is blocked, it can cause your shower and bathtub to be flooded by the water from the toilet. And even though this is frustrating, it is another task best left to professionals. Plumbers have special cameras and routing tools that make it easier for professionals to pinpoint and address the issue in a timely manner.

Sewer Drain Pipes

The sewer line carries sewage away from your home. There are some basic drain repairs that can be done at home with the right equipment, but repairing the main sewer line and any kind of upgrade requires a professional. For example, if there are shrubs or trees causing blockage, special equipment will be needed to remove the obstacle. Even though you can hire equipment to move the tree on your own, you can make serious mistakes due to lack of expertise.

Frozen Pipes

Cold temperatures during winter may cause your pipes to freeze and there is a risk they could burst. Your house could be subjected to significant water damage as a result. You may be tempted to thaw the pipes by yourself, but you can cause cracks in the process. Shut down the water and find a professional to repair the damage.

Low Water Pressure

The main reason why you should get a plumber to fix issues with low pressure is because it can take time to pinpoint the source of the problem. The low pressure could be traced back to your local area water supply. It can be time consuming trying to do repairs when it is not clear where the issue is arising from.

Permits and Licenses

Any job requiring a permit should be done by a professional who is trained to do it according to the local code. Plumbers stay up to date with the latest regulations and building codes, so your plumber is in a better position to understand the requirements. He can do the task professionally enough so that it will be approved.
