Some homeowners try to take care of plumbing issues on their own as a way to save money. However, this often ends up costing them a lot of money instead. Here are some common plumbing problems you should hire a plumber to fix.
Clogged Drains
If there’s a clogged drain in your home, you may decide to buy some chemicals or a snake device to clear it. Sometimes, using acid or a snaking device you’re not familiar with will cause even more problems, though. The damage can be enough that you need to pay to have the whole drain system replaced.
There could be several reasons why there’s a clogged drain. It might be hair and other materials. Sometimes, it’s due to the age of the house. If you put grease in a drain, the grease will often clog the drain once it cools down and becomes a solid.
Low Water Pressure
Low water pressure may be due to a serious issue. A water line may have eroded, or a pipe could have fractured. You need to call a plumber to fix these types of problems. Homeowners in Quincy, MA, have access to Aspinwall Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning. We’re experts at figuring out what the underlying cause of low water pressure is.
No Hot Water
The first thing to check is that the temperature setting on your water heater is set correctly. If you need a new water heater, it’s best to have a professional do the job. Water heaters can be tricky to install. For example, the main water lines may need to be altered in their orientation.
If a water heater isn’t installed right, it may cause extensive water damage. This can result in expenses far exceeding how much you would have paid a plumber to do the work.
