While many people like a do-it-yourself project as a way to save money, these projects can often turn into disasters that are time-consuming and expensive for those who don’t know what they are doing. Rather than take a chance on creating a bigger problem that the original one itself, it’s best to know when to put down the wrench and call a professional plumber who has training to handle virtually any job.

Main Line Blockage
One of the worst-case plumbing scenarios for homeowners is having their toilets backing up into the tubs and showers. When this happens, you probably have a main line blockage. While you can rent equipment to help fix this, if you don’t know what you’re doing this is no time to learn by making mistakes.

Moving Existing Plumbing
If you’re renovating your home and need to move some existing plumbing, give us a call. Trying this job yourself can not only mess up your plumbing, but can potentially do serious damage to many parts of your home. Leaky pipes within a wall are not easy to detect, so having a licensed and experienced plumber do this job for you will save plenty of damage in the long run.

A good rule of thumb is if you are taking on a job you’re not comfortable doing, it’s time to call the plumber.
