When to Call a Plumber

With the abundance of articles and videos available on the internet, it can be tempting for a lot of people to forego calling a plumber in favor of DIY plumbing repairs. Unfortunately, this can end up backfiring, leaving behind a problem even bigger (and potentially more expensive to fix) than the initial one.

There are several situations when it's a good idea to call a professional plumber for assistance. Here are some common scenarios:

  • Plumbing emergencies: If you're experiencing a burst pipe, a major leak, a sewage backup, a malfunctioning water heater, or any other plumbing issue that requires immediate attention, you should call a plumber right away. Plumbing emergencies can cause extensive damage to your property and require professional expertise to fix quickly and effectively. Low water pressure: If your faucets or showers are experiencing consistently low water pressure, it may indicate an issue with your plumbing system. Low water pressure can be caused by various factors, such as pipe leaks, mineral deposits, or a malfunctioning pressure regulator, and a plumber can quickly and accurately diagnose and fix the problem.
  • Clogged drains: If you've tried using a plunger or a drain cleaner but your drains are still clogged, it's time to call a plumber. Persistent clogs can indicate a more serious problem further down the drain line, and attempting to fix it yourself may result in further damage or may worsen the clog.
  • Water leaks: If you notice water stains on walls, ceilings, or floors, or if you hear dripping sounds, it's a sign of a water leak. Water leaks can cause structural damage, promote mold growth, and waste water, so it's important to have a plumber identify and repair the source of the leak.
  • Installation or replacement of plumbing fixtures: If you're installing a new sink, toilet, shower, or other plumbing fixture, or if you need to replace an existing one, it's best to call a plumber. Proper installation is crucial to ensure that the fixture functions correctly and to prevent leaks or other issues in the future.
  • Plumbing inspections: If you're buying a new home, planning to renovate your bathroom or kitchen, or just want to make sure your plumbing system is in good condition, a professional plumbing inspection can provide peace of mind. A plumber can inspect your pipes, fixtures, and connections, identify any potential issues, and provide recommendations for repairs or upgrades.

In general, it's a good idea to call a plumber whenever you encounter a plumbing issue that you're not comfortable or equipped to handle on your own. A qualified plumber has the knowledge, experience, and tools to diagnose and fix plumbing problems effectively and safely, helping you avoid costly repairs and potential further damage to your property.

What Is "Hard Water"?
You've probably heard the term "hard water" before, especially here in Florida where our water is considered very hard.

Why Should I Consider Installing a Water Purifier?
While our water here in Florida is generally safe, that doesn't mean that it is as pure as it could be.
It's a good idea to consider adding a water purification system to your home. Why? Purification systems reduce the number of potentially harmful chemicals and minerals present in your water supply, such as:
  • Mercury
  • Lead
  • Barium
  • Cadmium
  • Copper
And possibly chromium-6 depending on what type and brand of purifier you use.
These are just some of the many minerals and organic chemicals that can be present in municipal water.
