Does one of your faucets have a drip, drip, drip leak that you try not to think about? Or maybe your bathroom is out dated and you’re thinking it’s time to update it but don’t know where to start or what to do? If you’ve been putting these projects off because you’re not sure if you have the know how to tackle them, then you might want to consider if it’s really a good idea for you to be tackling them at all!
When you first start to notice a drippy faucet, you may “fix” it by putting a bowl under the faucet to catch the drips. Maybe you’re really good and you use this water to water your plants. Or maybe you do nothing about it because you figure it’s just a small drip so what’s the big deal. One of the calls that Plumbers Lovejoy get more than anything else is for leaky faucets. You are actually paying for every drip of water that leaks out of your faucet. If you don’t think it’s a lot of water, put a bowl under it for a day or two or even a week and then rethink it!
If you’re thinking it’s time to redo your bathroom, you may think that all you need is a coat of paint, maybe a new sink. A coat of paint might be easy enough to do yourself. However, any plumbing job may be more than you realize. If you do something wrong, you could be facing serious water damage. This water damage could cost you more than hiring Plumbers in Lovejoy to do it right the first time. And don’t forget about your precious time!
If you’re considering doing any sort of plumbing repair on your own, before you start the job, you’ll want to research what’s really involved. If it’s something minor, then sure, go ahead and do it yourself! But most plumbing jobs are far from minor and those are often best left to the professionals. Just make sure that the professional you hire comes with good references and has insurance in case anything should go wrong.
