Sometimes, hiring an experienced plumber isn’t just preferable; it’s necessary. Some of the more complex household plumbing jobs require specialized equipment, professional experience, or both, and attempting to take on a job without either can make problems worse. DIY is great if you want to learn new skills and have the time to do it. But if you don’t have the time or simply want help, hiring a licensed, experienced Plumbing Services Local Pro can make your life easier.

Not necessarily. While taking on plumbing repair work yourself does save you the cost of labour, it may not save you money overall. That’s because a licensed, experienced plumber is more likely to get the job done faster – and get it right. Remember, too, that a DIY plumbing repair error can have more serious consequences, up to and including floods. A leaking pipe, for instance, can give way to a deluge if handled incorrectly.

We strongly advise you to choose your DIY plumbing tasks carefully. If you have any doubts, find a licensed, experienced plumber to ensure you get the job done right.

Being responsible about which items you put down your drains is the best way to avoid problems in your home’s plumbing. If you experience a leak or a flood, installing a water alarm near your water sources (shut-off valve, drains, hot water tank, etc.) is a good way either to prevent flooding, or at least catch it early.

In areas with a higher risk of storm drain flooding and sewage backups, consider getting a sump pump installed to help prevent floods and backups in your basement.

1. First, try to stop the water at its source. Locate the shut-off valve and close it. This should stop any further flooding from occurring.

2. Turn off electricity if the water is at risk of exposure to electrical wiring, outlets or appliances.

3. Contact a plumber and request an emergency repair.

Fats, oils and grease are all bad for plumbing because they tend to solidify in your pipes or become sticky, which over time increases the risk of clogged drains and flooding.

It is highly recommended that you dispose of all fats, oils, and grease in the garbage rather than down the drain. You can let it solidify first or collect it in a bottle for easy disposal.
