There’s a lot about plumbing that can be handled DIY. Especially nowadays, plumbing has become more and more user friendly, so that homeowners don’t have to throw away hundreds of dollars to fix a leaky sink faucet. However, some jobs remain too big for an average homeowner to handle on their own. So if you think you may be in need of certified plumbing service in Peachtree City area, here are the events and times where you most definitely need a plumber.
#1. Installation
Whether it’s a new bathtub, sink, or new pipes, these require the hands of a professional who knows what they’re doing. There’s a lot that goes into plumbing installation, especially with pipes. Water pipes are tricky because how you lay them out during installation will make the difference between the pipes holding together, and them bursting out. You need to make sure they’re mathematically precise enough to fit together while still having enough support to keep them stable. In short, this work requires dexterous, experienced hands.
#2. Water heater problems
Fixing the water heater should always be left to a plumber, no exceptions. It may not seem that way, but the water heater is one of the most potentially dangerous objects in your home. If it gets damaged in any significant way, it could potentially explode with enough force to heavily damage half the house, and definitely enough to kill someone. So if there’s a problem with your water heater, call a plumber immediately to have them come look at it.
#3. Construction that requires a permit
Bathroom and kitchen renovations definitely fit into this category. This category covers jobs that are more advanced versions of #1, to the point that they require building permits that are only handed out to seasoned professionals like professional plumbers. Other jobs like this include fixing sewer line leaks or breaks, and leakages in the septic tank.
#4. Replacing wall pipes
This one requires a professional because it’s a job with two major tasks to perform. One, you need to cleanly open and then close one or more holes in the wall of a home, and after closing, make it look like nothing was done at all. And two, you need to replace or repair damaged or broken pipes in such a way to ensure that whatever caused the damage won’t happen again.
If any of this has happened to you, and you need a plumber you can trust, look no further than Fitzgerald and Sons Plumbing Company.
