DIY Plumbing Versus Professional Plumbers, Part 3
In our on-going blog series, we’ve been discussing plumbing problems that you may be able to DIY and plumbing problems that require a bit more expertise that you may or may not be able to handle on your own. In this concluding blog post, we’ll discuss those plumbing jobs that are definitely not recommended for DIY and require the expertise and experience of a licensed plumber in Lexington.

Below are the plumbing problems you need to call us for right away. Call today to begin!
JOBS FOR PROFESSIONAL PLUMBERS
Frozen Pipes
Frozen pipes are definitely a job for a professional plumber. Depending on the type of piping and the extent of the frozen water, your pipes are at risk for breaking if not dethawed properly. We’ve had many homeowners and business owners call us when they tried to DIY frozen pipes and ended up with water everywhere.
Broken Pipes
If water is flooding your basement, you’ll want to shut off the main water line switch. Once you’ve stopped the flooding, you most definitely need to call a professional plumber. Odds are, a patchwork job will not help you in this situation, nor will it prevent any future breakages. When you partner with a professional plumber for your broken pipes, they can come out and assess the entire situation, diagnose what caused the leak and/or broken pipe, and then offer a permanent solution so it doesn’t happen again.
Remodeling Needs
If you are adding on another bedroom and a bathroom, you will need the expertise of a professional plumber in Lexington. In addition to the job being a huge undertaking in terms of scope, you’ll have to have a working knowledge of the pipes below your home and within your home, which requires professional training. Plus, you’ll need a plumbing permit as well. This extends to if you are moving pipes around your home, such as when you are remodeling an interior room.
Install a Water Heater
Water heaters should always be professionally installed. One, if you DIY your water heater installation, odds are, you will void the warranty, which is not a good thing (and can be an expensive decision) if your water heater decides to not work. Two, for safety reasons, especially if gas is the source of energy that will be used to heat your water, you need a professional.
