And We're Not Talking About the Crack
We’d all be lying if we said we hadn't tried our own hand at DIY house projects, but more often than not, it’s best left to the professionals – especially when it comes to plumbing.
While you might think you can tighten a bolt here and loosen a screw there and your bathroom will be back in business in no time, this is something to be left to the professional plumber.
Why waste more time, money, and patience when you could call a professional plumber from the get-go and rest easy knowing that all of your home plumbing needs have been met? We couldn’t agree more. So, without further ado, these are our top seven reasons why you should hire a professional plumber for your next water-based issue.
1.Fully Licensed and Trained
Plumbing is a risky business, so it should go without saying that all professional plumbers are fully qualified, licensed, and insured. This is to protect both parties from faulty plumbing issues and to ensure that all work is finished to the highest possible standard. If you’re not sure if your plumber has all the paperwork you need to move forward, ask. Find another plumber if they're not willing to show you their documentation.
2. Access to High-Quality Equipment and Tools
A plumber’s role is to ensure they have up-to-date, high-tech plumbing equipment to ensure the work gets finished to the best of their ability. Advanced plumbing tools can play a big part in improving your plumber’s efficiency, so it’s crucial that they have all they need to get the job done. These tools can often be expensive, which is another reason why you should avoid DIY plumbing solutions to avoid racking up higher costs. Stick to the professionals, and your home will be in very safe hands.
3. Offer Multiple Services
Hiring a professional plumber will give you access to a wide range of service offerings. These services include replacements and installations, inspections and maintenance, leak detection and repairs, and drain cleaning. If you’d like to know more about what services are available from your local plumber, ask them to provide you with an updated list of the services they can offer you. This way, you can pinpoint exactly what you need now and what you may or may not need in the future.
4. Water Damage Avoidance
If you’re a homeowner who likes to think of yourself as quite the handyman or woman, you may have unintentionally caused water damage in your home. This is one of the top call-outs plumbers receive, and it’s no surprise that they spend a large amount of their time fixing pressurized water lines in houses that could have already flooded. Yes, this can really happen, and that is why it’s so important to hire a professional plumber instead of attempting a quick fixer-upper – especially when you may not understand the full extent of proper plumbing.
5. Great time savers
In a world that’s constantly moving, we can’t afford to waste precious time. One of the best reasons to hire a professional plumber (if not to save face after turning on the waterworks) is that their expertise and efficiency will save you a lot of time. Professional plumbers are trained to identify faults quickly and rectify them promptly, so you can relax and know that your home’s plumbing is well and truly sorted.
6. Super Cost-Effective
As well as being brilliant time-savers, professional plumbers are very cost-effective. While the initial costs upfront may be a little higher in some circumstances, you will inevitably save a lot of money in the long run. Rest assured, knowing that your home will function properly long-term with the high-end and sustainable plumbing services you’ve used. By saving money on your home using a professional plumber, your maintenance costs will also be reduced. Win-win, eh?
7. Permanent plumbing solutions
If you decide to repair your home’s plumbing issues on your own, you’re more likely to see recurring problems that will take more time and money to fix. If you hire a professional plumber, they will locate the root cause of the problem and find a permanent solution for your home. Plumbers know exactly what to avoid in plumbing and what is best for your home’s plumbing, so leave the solutions to the professionals. You’ll see; it’s so worth it.
