Sometimes, it's difficult to know when to tackle a home plumbing problem yourself and when to call a professional. We recommend calling a plumber for these common plumbing problems. Burst Pipes. Burst pipes can leak hundreds of gallons of water into your home quickly, causing extensive damage. It takes the skill and expertise of a certified plumber to repair burst pipes correctly. Water & Sewer Line Problems. Water and sewer line clogs and leaks aren't DIY repairs; they require a high level of experience, expertise, and advanced tools to repair properly. Moreover, if you attempt repairs, you could end up doing more damage not only to the line, but to your home's internal plumbing system. Finally, water and sewer line leaks bring potential health hazards, so you should always call a professional for your safety. Low Water Pressure. Another home plumbing problem that's best left to the pros is low water pressure. Losing water pressure at a single fixture or throughout the house can be frustrating, but trying to fix it yourself can make it worse if you don't know what's causing the problem in the first place. Professional plumbers have experience, training, and advanced tools to quickly diagnose the cause of reduced water pressure, ensuring an accurate repair. Finally, a professional can tell you ways to prevent low water pressure in the future. Water Heater Repair. Because water heaters are complex appliances, they don't lend themselves to DIY repairs. A licensed plumber has training in various water heater models to quickly diagnose the problem and know the right solution to fix it. And, if your water heater has given up the ghost, a pro will remove and dispose of the old system so you won't have to.
