If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a slow moving drain or a leaky faucet wondering whether or not you should call a plumber, you’re not alone. Sometimes it’s unclear whether one should take the DIY approach or contact a professional with the right tools and expertise to get the job done, no matter how severe the problem might be.
So, just to help clarify things a bit, here are six problems that are far better handled a licensed and professional plumber
- No hot water – While the issue might be an easy fix, it could also be a bigger problem like a crack in the storage tank, bad electrical connection, or faulty internal elements.
- Damaged or frozen water pipes – Sometimes, how-to videos and instructional manuals are no replacement for the right tools and years of experience.
- Backed-up sewer line – This is a situation that can go from bad to worse in 3 seconds flat. So if you notice a foul odor, a bubbling noise when you flush your toilet, or sewage backing up in sinks and drain, head for the phone!
- Slow-draining bathtub – If you’ve cleared the drain, tried the plunger approach, and still find yourself standing in water, it’s probably time to call a professional.
- Low water pressure – If you notice a sudden drop in water pressure, and it’s not related to work on municipal supply lines, it could be a sign of a bigger problem such as frozen pipes.
- Anything to do with gas lines – Whether you’re adding or moving a gas line, let a licensed plumber handle it.
