Taking Care of Home: 6 Reasons to Hire a Plumber

Taking Care of Home: 6 Reasons to Hire a Plumber
Posted By: Jamichael Mitchell on April 29, 2020

Plumbing is one of the areas of homeownership that most people think they can handle on their own. After all, how hard can it be to replace that pipe or clear a clogged drain? While simple plumbing problems may not be “hard” to fix, it is still a good idea to consult a professional.

There are several reasons why.

Put together by plumbers in Waxahachie, here are six reasons why you should hire a professional plumber before attempting a do-it-yourself fix:

1. A plumber has the right tools and knows how to use them
You may find that having a pipe wrench or other plumbing tool on hand is helpful in a pinch, but those basic hardware store tools will only get you so far. A professional plumber, on the other hand, has tools that a not available to consumers. What’s more, they are trained in how to properly use them. A plumber will have the tools necessary to identify, diagnose and repair plumbing problems.

2. A plumber is licensed and trained
Plumbing is a vocation and professional plumbers go through years of education and training. Before offering services to consumers, plumbers also must obtain a professional license. This license assures you that the person working on your pipes is trained and capable of handling the problem correctly.

3. A plumber will offer emergency service
There is no good time for a plumbing problem.



And if it is serious, you could find your home or yard flooded at an obscure hour of the day or night. Most plumbers offer emergency services, so you can call them 24/7. This helps prevent damage to your property and helps your plumbing system get back in proper working order as soon as possible.

4. A plumber can handle many types of plumbing problem
Sometimes a plumbing problem in your home indicates a more serious problem further down your plumbing system. Slow drains could indicate a problem with your septic line. Water pooling outside your home could indicate a slab leak. A professional plumber can identify the problem you have and offer solutions. If there are more than one problem, a plumber can often offer solutions for each of them.

5. A plumber offers ongoing customer support
If you have a plumbing problem and hire a plumber, you will have a contract that details the work done. This often includes customer support if you have questions or concerns, or resolution of problems that arise after a plumbing problem is fixed. This is valuable to homeowners because it gives them confidence that they made the right choice and will not be left in a lurch if something happens later.

6. A plumber will fix the problem correctly
A professional plumber will fix your plumbing problem correctly, which means that ultimately, you save money. By having a plumbing problem fixed quickly and correctly, you save money on your water bill, potential property damage and having to hire someone else to come in after you had a non-professional work on your pipes.
