3 Plumbing Projects You Should Avoid
Doing it yourself and avoiding the cost of hiring a plumber may seem like a good idea, but there are some plumbing projects that should simply always be handled by a professional plumber.
Here are three plumbing projects you should avoid doing yourself:
New Water Heater
Avoid the temptation of installing a new water heater yourself!
Electric water heaters deal with on average 240 volts of electricity, and if handled incorrectly can lead to a seriously dangerous situation. This is also true of gas heaters, in which potentially harmful gas leaks can occur.
You should be insisting on hiring a plumber to install your water heater, as they will correctly get the job done in a safe and secure process, saving you and your home from any potential damage.
Low Water Pressure
If not addressed correctly and promptly, this seemingly simple problem can lead to some major issues down the road. If it’s making your showers unbearable, it can feel pretty tempting to attempt fixing it yourself.
However, there isn’t always a definitive and easy cause for low water pressure issues. It can be a cracked pipe, hidden leak or something more serious that’s affecting the pressure, and you might incorrectly diagnose the issue and cause further problems.
An experienced plumber can assess the low-pressure issue and determine the best course of action.
Remodelling
No matter if you are renovating your entire home or just a single space or room, you need to ensure that all the plumbing is handed by a professional plumber. They can ensure the correct and exact dimensions required for your new appliances, guarantee an excellent quality installation and prevent future issues cause by poor installation.
