WHEN TO CALL A PROFESSIONAL...

Some of the seemingly easiest repair jobs concerning plumbing can become a nightmare. In the Do It Yourself age, many have taken on projects that in the past were unheard of doing yourself. Reality TV would have us all believe that we can do ANYTHING ourselves. But the reality is they have edited those programs to make the job look virtually effortless.

In your home, if you are thinking about taking on a project by renting the equipment and doing it yourself; think again. Replacing a shower valve seems like child’s play when a CHILD shows you how on YouTube. Make no mistake-- that CHILD is a prodigy if he can change a shower valve. Which is why he has a million views! Do you know how to cut through dry wall? Tile? Do you know if your pipes are copper?-- You’re basically about to perform surgery on your house. These aren’t things to take likely. A professional will be equipped with state of the art tools that can render little to no damage to your walls... As would a Doctor if you needed a valve replaced.

There are many things you CAN do to prevent the need of professional help such as check for moisture or leaks. Leaky faucets are generally caused by old/dirty seals. Be sure to clean and or replace them before changing fixtures. A leaky faucet can lose 20-30 gallons of water per day and do thousands of dollars of damage in the process. So check them regularly, and if it’s beyond your means of expertise... Call a professional!
