Save Time, Money and Aggravation by Hiring a Professional Plumber for Your Bathroom and Plumbing Needs Did you know that a backed-up toilet may be caused by something other than a clog or that failing to vent your drains correctly can lead to slow-draining showers and lavatories?
Bathroom plumbing can be tricky business. Many people think they can save money by doing plumbing repairs or installations themselves. But, in many cases, it actually saves you time and money to hire a professional plumber.
If your repair need is simple, such as a clogged toilet that needs plunging or a loose fitting, chances are good that you can fix the problem yourself; provided you have diagnosed the problem correctly. But bathroom plumbing problems are often difficult to diagnose and repair. Hiring a professional plumber saves a lot of headache, time and money.
Rely on a professional to get it done right and get it done fast.
A licensed plumber is a professional. He is trained in and familiar with a wide variety of plumbing materials, fixtures, tools, procedures and regulations. Most Home Owners are not. Because of his broad depth of knowledge and specialized tools, a professional plumber can usually fix your problem or install your plumbing in a fraction of the time in which you can.
When you consider that he can do in an hour what may take you four hours to do, are you saving money? What is you time worth?
A professional plumber saves time and money by knowing how to correctly diagnose your problem and selecting the best solution for your situation. He will also save you money by getting the job done right the first time and by getting the correct parts on his first trip to the hardware store - if he even has to go to the store. Most plumbers carry an assortment of the most common parts and supplies with them. That often eliminates any need to waste time going to the store. Homeowners who don't work with plumbing every day often misjudge pipe or valve sizes, buy parts they don't need, and forget parts that they do need. That results in wasted time and money.
Don't risk damage to your home
There's another big and very important way that a plumber saves you money: Risk. In any repair job, there is a certain amount of risk. Incorrectly performing a plumbing installation or repair can lead to costly damage to your home. If a pipe connection doesn't hold, pipe threads get stripped, or a valve doesn't get shut off correctly, you can end up with water in places you don't want it and you can turn a $50 repair into thousands of dollars worth of damage.
A professional plumber knows the proper way of making repairs and installing plumbing, and he knows how to minimize the risk involved. Additionally, a licensed plumber carries insurance and guarantee his work so that all the risk of damage due to error or poor workmanship lies with him.
Do you want to take the chance that your homeowner's insurance won't pay for the damage from your simple plumbing mistake? Hiring a professional plumber eliminates this concern.
