When to Hire a Plumber?

While everyone calls a plumber for a burst pipe repair or a clogged sewer line, many people are unsure about whether or not to call a plumber for smaller issues. For example, for smaller things like a sluggish drain, a leaking garbage disposal, or a malfunctioning water heater, there’s a temptation to either put off doing anything or to try to handle it on your own.

In fact, some people wonder whether they can even call a plumber for smaller jobs. The reality is that any job, no matter how small, can have an impact on your plumbing system. It’s always important that these jobs are done correctly, as small issues can lead to bigger problems. Here are a few smaller jobs that it’s best to contact a professional to handle.

Dealing with a Leaking Faucet

A leaking faucet is an easy issue to overlook. However, it can lead to lots of wasted water and larger plumbing issues. A faucet leak can be caused by pipe corrosion, mineral deposits or build up in the pipes, or issues with components of the faucet, including gaskets and washers.

If you have a leaking faucet, it’s a good idea to address it as soon as possible. Call a professional. They can inspect the faucet, identify the source of the issue, and make all necessary repairs to fix the leak and to avoid ongoing problems.

Handling Shower-Head Replacements

Many homeowners opt to replace the shower-heads in their home either because they are old and need updating or because the homeowner wants a specific, more advanced shower-head. More and more people are choosing to put smart showerheads in their homes to make their showers more efficient and comfortable.

If you need to replace your shower head type, it’s a good idea to contact a professional. If this process is not done correctly, it can lead to ongoing leaks and issues.

If you need a new showerhead, contact a professional. A plumber can help guide you through all phases of the process, including selecting the best shower head for your home.

Necessary Garbage Disposal Repair

Your garbage disposal can stop working for a variety of reasons from being clogged or jammed to having a motor issue. This is a problem that plumbers often deal with, they have many different ways to approach garbage disposal repairs. Rather than trying to navigate it on your own, leave this to a professional. Plumbers can quickly identify the root of the problem and let you know what’s needed to resolve the issue. Doing so can help to avoid ongoing problems and avoid putting additional strain on your kitchen plumbing.

Plumbers are used to handling jobs of all sizes. If you have a small plumbing issue, don’t hesitate to contact a professional. Timely addressing the issue will help to keep your home’s plumbing systems in good condition and will avoid more serious problems.
