Every homeowner will need the help of a plumber at some point or another.
Whether there is a clogged drain or a busted pipe, hire someone who can handle any job that requires the type of skill only a trained and experienced plumber has.
Many people try to fix plumbing problems themselves, but this can end up costing you more money in the long run, especially if you don't have plumbing experience and try to fix a problem, but do so incorrectly.
Before you call a plumber, however, you should assess the situation and take note of some important information.
In situations involving leaks, blockages, and changes in the color of water, you may have some investigation to do before a plumber is called.
Blockages of drains and sinks may be removed easily without the use of a plumber, but you should never attempt to remedy the issue unless you feel confident in your ability to fix the problem.
The first thing to do is to try using your household plunger.
If using a plunger doesn't dislodge the blockage, many people will try using over the counter drain clog removing chemicals such as Drano or Liquid Plumber.
If the chemical clog removers do not work, your pipe work under the sink will need to be taken apart.
A professional plumber is best suited for this type of work, as it requires unscrewing, sealing and caulking pipe joints.
Leaks, if left unnoticed and untreated, can be devastating on the wood inside your home.
Excess water will cause mold growth and significantly damage the surrounding structure.
Depending on where the leak is coming from, you may need to tear down a ceiling or get behind a wall.
An experienced plumber is best suited to deal with pipe leakage, as often times the water supply will need to be shut off and new plumbing will need to be installed.
And when you're working inside walls and above the ceiling, there are many other safety factors you'll need to be aware of, such as the electrical wiring.
Changes in the color of your water may be out of the scope of a plumber's job description because most of the time discolored water is the result of a problem within the city or town's water supply.
The first thing to do if you notice brown or yellowish water is to call your municipality and inquire about any water issues that they may be experiencing.
Normally, the color changes are due to a problem with the water company and are temporary.
However, if the water company has no knowledge of discolored water, you may have a problem within your home's plumbing.
Call a plumber to investigate and remedy the situation.
Hiring an experienced, licensed plumber will ensure the job gets done correctly the first time so you can rest easy knowing that your water supply is flowing through your home safely and properly.
A good plumbing company will get to your home quickly, especially in an emergency to make certain your water is safe and your plumbing is operating correctly.
