There are many times we question whether or not we should hire a professional to do a certain job around the house. After all, a honey-do list often grows and doesn't shrink. Plumbing is one of those things. You may want to change out a vanity, or you discover a horrible leak underneath your sink that simply must be addressed. But is this something that you have to call a plumber for? Is this something you could take on yourself? Not only do we struggle with the concept of paying for professional services, but with the satisfaction of completing a job on our own. There's a fine line, and with many plumbing services, you'll find that it's almost always best to contact a professional Orlando plumber. Let's take a look at some of the things you may be able to tackle on your own and other things that are best left to the hands of a professional.

Faucet Leak?

Faucet leaks are not as complex as they seem. In fact, most homeowners can take on this particular task all on their own. It possibly could be due to a leaking o-ring or gasket issue. You won't have to replace the faucet in most cases. If you have a slow water leak from the spout, it might be worth it to try it on your own. There is very little damage you could do, DIYing the problem.

Clogged Drain

Can you resolve a clogged drain on your own? Absolutely! Give it the old college try and put some muscle to it with a plunger. You might be able to unclog the drain yourself. But, in the event this doesn't work, you will need to call a plumber to snake the drain or perform hydro jetting. Try to avoid using chemical drain cleaners as these can do damage to your plumbing pipes.

Sewer Line Rupture

Has your sewer line ruptured, and is it making your yard soggy? This is a time you most certainly will need to contact a plumber for cure-in-place piping or excavating the sewer line to replace the pipe. Depending on what your plumbing company offers will determine what fix is appropriate. It's important to choose a plumber that can handle a sewer line repair as some companies do not offer major plumbing services.
