Plumbing in your home is one of those things that you may be comfortable working on yourself. It isn’t like electrical which can quickly become dangerous if done incorrectly. However, this doesn’t mean you should automatically take care of every plumbing problem that comes along. There are a few that are best left to the professionals:
- Water heater repair or replacement – A water heater is not a plumbing component that just uses water. It also uses electricity or gas to operate. This puts it right back in that realm of danger that you should probably avoid. It is also challenging to be able to decide whether you need water heater repair or if replacement is the best option. Without this expertise, you may replace a unit that could have been more affordably repaired or start on a repair that ends up being more costly than replacement.
- Toilet replacement – It isn’t that toilet replacement is particularly complicated, but they are heavy and that makes it challenging to get into place properly and get a good seal that won’t leak. Rather than tackle this by yourself, it is usually best to call a professional.
- Leak detection – If you suspect a leak in your home, it can take a lot of trial and error to find it, which can be quite frustrating. A professional has the proper equipment to locate the leak and thus reduce the amount of wall or floor damage needed to get to the leak and repair it.
