Plumbing Installation

When to Have a Plumber on Call

If you are fairly confident in your handyperson abilities, you may feel tempted to try to push the bar and attempt some more difficult plumbing installations. If you do, you may want to be sure you have a plumber available in case things do not go the way you had planned.

These kinds of installations are usually things like:

• Replacing a toilet
• Replacing or installing a dishwasher
• Replacing or installing a garbage disposal
• Thawing frozen pipes

Some of these installations can go fairly smoothly as long as your basic foundational plumbing is solid and you can read an instruction manual well. However, if things do not go the way they are supposed to, each of these can result in big messes that you will have to call in a plumber as soon as possible to fix before big damage ensues.

Don’t Try On Your Own

Then there are the big jobs that are truly best left to the professionals. Improper plumbing installations or problems due to errors in installation can be costly and time-consuming. If you are planning any of the following, call your plumber directly:

• Home renovations. These often require permits that only a plumber or an electrician can pull. If you do many renovations without a permit it is considered illegal and can come back to haunt you later if you try to get a permit for something else or sell your home.
• Moving plumbing fixtures or pipes
• Fixing broken pipes
• Installing water heaters
