Why You Should Hire a Professional Plumber

How to Know When to Call a Pro

Plumbing systems are a complicated network of pipes and plumbing fixtures. Professional plumbers go through years of rigorous training to obtain licenses. Plumbing experts recommend that homeowners consult with a qualified professional plumber, even for small repairs. 

DIY plumbing repair is not recommended for multiple reasons. Working on the home’s plumbing can be dangerous without proper training. Risks include serious bodily injury, broken appliances, and property damage. 

Prevent Home Damage

Hiring a professional plumber protects the homeowner’s investment in their home and plumbing fixtures. An unqualified individual is more likely to break or damage something accidentally. A small issue could become a large and costly one if DIY plumbing is attempted and a mistake is made. 

DIY plumbing repairs and installation can also void the factory warranty on the appliances. Homeowners may be tempted to try to complete plumbing repairs themselves to save money, but the opposite often happens. In the long run, they spend more money when they accidentally break the plumbing, install something the wrong way, or flood their house. 

Homeowners should trust the training and expertise of professional plumbers. It is always a good idea to have a dependable, local plumber a phone call away in case of emergencies. 

Fast and Hassle-Free Repairs

Plumbers are required to complete an apprenticeship before receiving a license, which means that even the newer professional plumbers have undergone extensive training. This gives them the knowledge to quickly and accurately diagnose what the problem is with the plumbing system. Misdiagnosing the issue is one of the common ways that homeowners mess up their plumbing systems during DIY repairs. 

Without a proper diagnosis of the plumbing issue, homeowners may spend money and time fixing the wrong thing. Professional plumbers also have specialized tools for completing the job quickly and easily. An experienced plumber can make quick work of a simple repair that could take the homeowner multiple hours. 

Licensing & Insurance

When homeowners are shopping around for a good local plumbing company, they should always be sure to ask about licensing and insurance. Having a license is legally required for becoming a professional plumber. Professional plumbers also need insurance because of the risks of working on plumbing systems. 

Even a fully licensed and insured plumber might make a mistake from time to time because no person is perfect. The plus side of hiring a professional is that if something does go wrong, the financial responsibility falls on the plumbing company’s insurance and not the homeowner. This lets the homeowner have peace of mind during repairs and installation that their home and wallet are protected.
