If you experience minor water problems at home, you might think that you can handle their repairs by yourself. There are some cases, however, when you need to call a professional plumber to get things done. Identifying and correcting any plumbing issues can be a tedious task, especially for someone with no training. If something goes wrong with your plumbing system, you could end up with a bigger mess. 

1.) Water Leaks

There are times when an easy fix, like tightening a connection or replacing your washer, will not work when you’re dealing with water leaks. If these easy fixes don’t work, then it’s time that you call a plumber for assistance.

2.) Clogged Pipes

Usually, clearing clogged pipes is done quickly with a plunger or sewer snake, while other home remedies can be effective as well. However, it doesn’t mean that it will work all the time, especially because some chemical drain cleaners can’t clear the most clogged pipes and can even cause damage to your plumbing system. If you experience stubborn clogs, then there could be a more serious problem that only a plumbing contractor can solve. 

3.) Low Water Pressure

One of the common reasons for low water pressure is a leaky plumbing system. Know that leaks in your plumbing system can damage your walls, cabinets, and floors. If you are experiencing low-pressure water problems, you need to call a plumber to evaluate the situation and repair it. Don’t let low water pressure turn into expensive water damage that will also cost you time and money!

4.) Foul-Smelling Drain

If you get a whiff of a nasty smell coming from your pipes, then it’s likely that you’re smelling sewer gas, which can actually be toxic. Don’t wait around for the smell to pass, because it most likely will not. In fact, if you don’t address it right away, things could get worse and leave you with expensive damages in the long run. 

5.) Colored Water

When you notice color in your water, usually rust-like hues, it often indicates the presence of iron, which isn’t really a cause for alarm. For plumbing pipes, however, rusty water can mean that the pipes need to be replaced. In some cases, it could indicate that there’s a need for a new water heater. In some rare cases, rusty water may indicate a problem in your water safety. Don’t take your chances and have a plumber see it right away when you notice rusty water. 

6.) Soggy Patches In Your Backyard

Are there overly-lush spots in your backyard? You might think that they’re pretty at first, but they’re uneven, and they’re too lush that you know something’s wrong. Puddles or soggy patches are often signs of underlying plumbing problems. It could be a sign of a leaking water or sewer line underground, which should be handled properly by a plumbing contractor.   Yes, you can repair some basic plumbing systems by yourself, but there are still many times that plumbing works should be left to professional plumbers, such as the signs listed above. Make sure to choose a professional plumbing contractor that will provide you with quality work.

Trenchless pipe repair versus traditional pipe repair - how affordable is it?

By William Creamer • March 22, 2022
When you own a home, it can be very expensive, and you don't want to hear that your pipe needs to be repaired. If that's the case, it's only a matter of how much it will cost. In the past, underground pipe repair required several days and a lot of digging, as well as significant property damage. Now, trenchless pipe repair allows plumbers to fix a pipe in less than a day with minimal digging. While this technique is becoming more common, many homeowners have questions. Here are some things to consider. Expenses up front It is also possible to choose a plumber more easily because traditional pipe repair is more common. A traditional pipe repair typically costs $50 to $250 per foot, not including the cost of repairing the property. In trenchless pipe repair, there are two methods available: Lateral Pipe Lining: This method uses an existing pipe, and adds an epoxy layer to cover cracks and irregularities in the pipe, creating a new pipe. The cost of lateral pipe lining can range from $80 to $250 per foot. Bursting: Using a pneumatic or hydraulic head, this method destroys the old pipe and replaces it with a new one. It is usually cheaper than lateral pipe lining, ranging between $60 and $200 per foot of pipe replaced. Traditional repair methods appear to be cheaper on paper, but they aren't always the most cost-effective. Uncovering hidden costs There are costs associated with traditional pipe repairs that are not included in the initial estimate. The cost of excavating the old pipe, for example, may not be included, or another contractor may be required. In addition, moving any heavier objects that are over the sewer line can be costly. In the end, even though the initial cost covers everything, it probably won't cover the cost of repairing a driveway or landscaping that is damaged. Homeowners often pay thousands of dollars to get their property back to the way it was. Trenchless repairs avoid these costs because they are minimally invasive. No ground is ripped up, and no additional work is required. When it comes to repairing a broken pipe, trenchless repairs are generally cheaper, more cost-effective, and easier to perform. A professional can help you maintain your pipes. It's important to call a professional if you think a pipe needs to be repaired.
