Sometimes it’s hard to determine when to call the professionals or to DIY when facing a plumbing leak. It all depends on the leaky situation itself. If the leak is coming from your water heater, it’s best to call the experts at Anthem Plumbing because repairing a water heater leak yourself may result in more problems than when you started the task. If your toilet is leaking, it is possible to DIY this situation. Many toilet leaks are because old flushing mechanisms are compromised due to rough Arizona water (which water softeners can help prevent this from happening). However, a professional would be needed for a leaky toilet if the pipes have rusted or you have cracks in the toilet bowl. One of the easier fixes is a leaky faucet in which you can buy and replace yourself, however, a plumber would be needed if the pipes are broken or have high water pressure. If your showerhead is leaking it could be the shower cartridge aging and corroding and would need replacement or repair. The biggest leaks to not repair on your own, and when you would call your skilled Anthem Plumbing experts would be for main water lines or slab leaks. If you have a main water line leak you would notice sewage backing up in the shower, toilet, tub, and sinks. If you have a slab leak you will see water damage or water pooling in the yard or house.
