At Life Line Plumbing, we understand why many people are tempted to try a little DIY. Life in Fulshear is only getting more expensive. Prices are on the rise, and it’s natural to try to save wherever you can.
But if you try to DIY your plumbing, you might end up spending even more money than you would have had you just called Life Line Plumbing in the first place. Here are X reasons why you should leave plumbing to the experts.
#1) Subtle Differences Matter
We know. There’s a YouTube video for everything, and it seems like with just a few parts and a little effort, you can fix most minor problems.
Unfortunately, there are differences between sinks, faucets, showers, and bathtubs. What you see on that video might not match what you have, and guesswork can be extremely costly.
Plus, those videos tend to assume you have a lot of knowledge you might not have.
Unless you are an experienced handy worker with plumbers’ training, you’ll save a mountain of time and money by calling us first.
#2) Small Mistakes Can Mean Big Property Damage
Detail work is important when you’re plumbing. One wrong move can turn a minor problem into a major disaster. Plumbing leaks are intricate and interconnected.
That means an innocent mistake like overtightening a pipe or using the wrong sealant can cause a catastrophic leak. The result? Tens of thousands of dollars worth of water damage to your home, damage your home insurance company might not be too keen to cover.
The cost of those repairs will always exceed the cost of having a trained plumber from Life Line show at your house to handle the issue. Remember, it takes 4-5 years just to complete a plumbing apprenticeship and earn a license. You can’t duplicate that training with guesswork and internet research.
#3) You’ll Face Health and Safety Hazards
Plumbing isn’t just about pipes and water. When you get into the guts of your home you can hurt yourself, or make yourself sick.
For example, when you work with an older home’s pipes you risk exposing yourself to lead.
Or you might mistake a gas line for a water line, and create a leak that could lead to fire or an explosion.
Let the trained professionals with the PPE do the job instead.
Plumbing Problems Aren’t Always What They Seem
