DIY Plumbing Projects You Are Better Off Leaving to a Professional Plumber
I
t’s tempting to take on plumbing projects yourself, especially when you look at the price a professional would charge and the sticker shock really sets in. However it’s important to remember that you aren’t just paying for parts when you hire a professional plumber; you’re also paying for that individual’s experience, skill, know-how and the guarantee that the job will get done correctly. When seen in that light, hiring a plumber may look downright cheap.
Leave it to The Professionals
One of the most expensive remodeling jobs out there is the kitchen, and it is consistently tried over and over again by homeowners who would be a great deal happier if they would hire a trained plumber to handle the job. From supposedly simple jobs to putting in a new sink, all the way to complex matters like adding new plumbing for a toilet it’s best to let those who have the proper tools, the right experience, and whose work is guaranteed take over the job.
This matter comes down to simple numbers. On the one hand you have the cost of a plumber. On the other hand you have the potential costs of doing the job yourself. If you don’t have the right tools, that will make the job more expensive. If you don’t have the proper experience you might need to do the job more than once, which will lead to additional time and parts costs. It’s even possible that if you attempt to do plumbing repairs or modifications on your own that you might be slapped with a fine from the city, or that your homeowner insurance won’t cover damages caused by the job if it goes wrong. When measured against all of these other possibilities the potential costs are a great deal more than the known cost of leaving the job to someone who can get it done quickly, efficiently, and whose work comes with a satisfaction guarantee on it in the event something goes wrong and needs to be repaired.
