DIY Shower Valve Gone Wrong

In todays economy, DIY is becoming a popular method to try and save some money, in your home improvements.  Some of the braver money savers try their hand at fixing their leaky faucets.  DIY plumbing usually costs you more money than it saves you.  There are so many stories of people trying to fix their plumbing problems by themselves and end up making them worse. 

This is a story of a typical homeowner embarking on a DIY mission to fix a shower valve.  The task seemed simple enough with a quick Google search.  Buy the shower valve, turn off the water to the house, install the new part and turn the water back on, but small repairs are often not so simple.  This mission starts at the hardware store, scouring the shelves for the parts that he thinks he needs.  The next step is turning off the water to the house, which is rarely done correctly by first time DIYers.  Operating the tools necessary, requires some training.  Most of these fixes are done outside of normal working hours when homeowners have the time to tinker with their DIY project.  So when something goes wrong the homeowner will inevitably have to call a plumber.

A quick fix can easily turn into something much more complicated, which will be even more expensive when you decide it is time to call a plumber. Call the trusted professionals at NY Plumbing & Sewer Rooter and get it done correctly the first time.
