It is very easy for you to look at a leaking faucet or an old water line and think, “I can fix that, it’s easy!” Many do-it-yourselfers do it on a regular basis, and sometimes it works out just fine and everything is fixed in an easy and quick manner that saves you money. However even more often than that, what used to be a “small fix” turns into something much bigger. That leaking faucet needs to be replaced, but the pipes are rusted tight and have to be cut in order to replace it, or the old water line you were going to replace breaks off on the wrong end and suddenly you’ve got a much bigger job on your hands than you were intending. A cheap ten-minute fix has suddenly turned into a several hundred dollar project that could balloon into even more if you don’t get a quick handle on it. Plumbing can seem like a very simple thing to take care of sometimes. When it comes down to it, it can be much more of a headache than you first believed.
What if It’s Just a Small Leak?
There is an old saying that goes, “Water always wins.” There is a reason that it’s an old saying; because it’s true. Water that gets free from a pipe or a valve will make its way through everything that it comes into contact with, from drywall to wood to stone. That small leak that just seems to be a slow leak that doesn’t hurt anything at all is often more damaging than a large one and can do thousands of dollars in damage, even before it’s ever found or repaired.
It’s Just a Clogged Toilet or Is It?
Often times a clogged toilet can be taken care of with just a plunger or a “snake” to clear it out, however that is not always the case. And when you’re dealing with dirty water, there are many issues that you need to keep in mind. First and foremost, it’s smelly and it stains. It’s not a pleasant thing to deal with, for you or for a professional. Even more importantly however, it contains thousands of bacteria in it that can make you very sick. Letting the professionals safely take care of plumbing issues like this, even if it seems simple enough, is the best way to go.
