If you are a homeowner, you will likely need a plumber or drain cleaning company at some point. Whether you have a clogged drain or your water heater is broken, hire a plumber with the right skills to complete the job professionally. During bad economic times, we’ve seen many people try to fix complicated plumbing problems on their own, usually costing more money at the end of the day. However, when you call a plumber, you should do some basic research on the problem you are having and the potential plumbing or drain cleaning companies you might hire. In situations involving broken pipes, water leaks, clogged drains, and discolored water, you may need to do some basic research before calling a plumber.
Sometimes basic drain clogs and drain and sink blockages can be removed quite easily without calling a plumber; It is a good policy to never attempt to correct a problem unless you are 100% confident in your ability to fix the problem. First things first, try using your plunger. If the plunger won’t clear the clog, you may want to try an over-the-counter liquid drain plug product, such as Drano or Liquid Plumber. If they do not unclog the drain, it will be necessary to disassemble the pipes under the sink. At this point, we suggest you call a professional plumber or drain cleaning company, as the skill level requires unscrewing, sealing, and caulking the pipe joints.
Most leaks in the home, if not fixed promptly, can cause serious damage to the interior of the home. Water leaks can cause unhealthy mold growth and significantly damage the surrounding structure, among many other things. Depending on the location of the leak, you may need to tear down the walls or ceiling. Experienced plumbers and drain cleaning services are best suited to handle any pipe leaks, most of the time the water will need to be shut off immediately and new pipes will also need to be installed. Another good reason to call a plumber is the possibility of finding dangerous electrical wires.
Hiring an experienced, licensed, bonded plumber will significantly increase your chances of getting the job done right the first time. A good plumbing company or sewer and drain cleaning service will respond immediately, especially in the event of an emergency, the last thing you want is to incur thousands of dollars in unnecessary damage.
