Usually when you say that something went down the drain, it is not a happy occasion. But when you’re talking about plumbing, going down the drain is a good thing. And when the going gets slow, you know it’s time to call a plumber.
Slow or backed up drains can be a miserable experience, but it’s your plumbing giving you advance warning that there’s a problem somewhere. That’s much better than suddenly finding your house is being flooded. Sometimes the homeowner can fix the problem by cleaning out the drain or unclogging the toilet, but many times it takes a professional. In fact, even simple jobs like replacing a toilet can be a tough job for many people because if the toilet isn’t set right, it’s going to leak around the seal.
Everyone Needs a Plumber
The best step a homeowner can take is preventing problems in the first place. This includes not flushing items that can clog pipes or not washing grease down the sink drain. You can wrap your water pipes so they don’t freeze in the winter, cover your outside faucets and check for water and gas leaks periodically.
But at some point everyone needs a plumber. And when it’s time to call a plumber you want one that is:
>> Licensed
>>Insured
>> Bonded
>> Experienced
>> Professional
>> Knows building codes
>> Knows local regulations
All too often people rely on someone to fix leaks, set toilets or unplug outdoor lines only to find the problem is not fixed after the plumber leaves. It’s disruptive enough to have to schedule an appointment without having to do it all over again when the leak continues.
A Job Only for a Plumber
You may pride yourself on handling do-it-yourself jobs, but there are certain plumbing problems only a licensed contractor should handle for safety reasons.
>>Leaking hot water tank
>> Water pressure that is too high and could damage plumbing
>> Backed up sewer lines
>> Gas leaks
>> Plumbing pipe leaks
>> Garbage disposals
>> Problems with drinking water
A licensed and experienced Modesto plumber can insure your plumbing repairs meet all building code requirements and that safety, health and environmental regulations are met. For example, the plumber can insure there are no gas leaks, that water pressure meets minimum standards, and that the septic tank is working properly.
A do-it-yourselfer usually does not have the right equipment on hand and will try to make repairs using whatever is available in the tool box leading to low quality plumbing repairs. Homeowners who hobble together plumbing repairs usually end up calling a plumber to fix their repair job!
