When
your home has a plumbing
emergency,
it can be tempting to try to handle it yourself. However, it’s generally a bad
idea to try to fix most plumbing issues on your own. Here are some of the
problems that can result from do-it-yourself plumbing:
Leaks are hard to find. Many leaks are no bigger than
the head of a pin,
which means that it’s very hard for non-professionals to find them. If you miss
a leak, it will continue to dribble out water—which can lead to high water
bills and expensive property damage.
You can cause more damage. If you don’t
know precisely what you’re doing, trying to fix a leaking pipe or a
malfunctioning toilet can make the damage worse. Rather than spending a whole
weekend trying to learn how to make a simple plumbing repair, it’s best to
leave the work to a professional.
You can hurt yourself. Plumbing can be
dangerous work. It means working with hot water, rusty pipes, and potentially
waste-filled water. Professional plumbers have the expertise necessary to make
repairs safely; most people don’t.
