When is it Time to Call the Plumber?

Have a handyman at home? They probably cover some of the basic home care needs on their own. Saving money where you can is smart. However, tackling more difficult projects can lead to other damages that will cost you more money in the long run.

Not sure when it's a good idea to pick up the phone and call a plumber? Turn to the most common examples below:

You notice low water pressure throughout your home. There are a number of reasons your water pressure could be low. A licensed and professional plumber is trained to pinpoint the exact cause quickly and get your water flowing freely again.

There's no hot water. Again, determining the cause could take quite awhile. Professional plumbers know everything there is to know about heating appliances and can find the right fix quickly.

You need to replace your water heater. Installing a new water heater is no easy feat. To ensure your new water heater will begin working properly, turn to a plumber who has the routine down pat and installs them on a regular basis.

Your sewer line is backed up. Plumbers have advanced technology that can inspect and repair your sewer line efficiently. Attempting to dig up your yard on your own and fix the sewer line may actually end up being more costly.

Your pipes are frozen. If the pipe has already burst or cracked, you'll need a professional plumber to make the repairs. Even if the frozen pipe is still intact, you may want a plumber to take a look at it to prevent more sever damage.

Other than these common plumbing emergencies above, calling a plumber for regular routine maintenance is also a smart idea. Being proactive with your plumbing is the best way to avoid those little surprises throughout the year.
