Professionals Will ....
Only a qualified plumber will be able to inspect your plumbing for being in good working condition. We offer an annual plumbing and safety inspection where we catch many small problems before they become urgent and expensive repairs. Leaks are generally the most common problem in the average home. Identifying the leak is the first step. Easily identified leaks are typically easy to fix with minimal experience. If your leak is more complicated we can help with that as well. We even do hard to find slab leaks.
Do It Yourself for Temporary Pipe Leak Repairs
Taking care of it as a temporary fix; you will need to find pipe clamps to seal the hole in the wall of the pipe. Then you use a coupler to replace the split or leaking pipe. Sometimes pipe wrap can be used. Everything can be bought for this temporary fix at your local hardware store. It is when you have multiple leaks or are unable to find the leak when serious damage can occur; this is when your plumber should come and fix the problem for you. We recommend that you at this point shut off you water supply to the affected area, dry with towels and give us a call. We offer same day service in many cases. We also offer a 10% discount to Senior Citizens, Military, Veterans and First Responders. We want to "Thank You" for you!
Do It Yourself Basic Plumbing Replacements
Replacing basic parts of your system can be buying a fitting at your hardware store. This is typically knobs, handles, clamps; replacing pipes is a much different story and you need the experience and training of a plumbing professional. It is the complexity of the situation and your comfort level that decides ultimately, but knowing that the job will be done professionally, correctly and with some seal of warranty on workmanship can be headache remover in the long run.
