Whether it’s about unclogging drains or fixing leaks, some people think fixing these problems are easy. That’s why in most cases, people tend to Do It Themselves—at least until it turns out that the problem is more than they could handle. Don’t let that happen to you. Dummies shares here some of the best times you should ring a plumber and rely on his services instead of trying fix the problem all on your own.

Low Water Pressure

You might have rust in your water lines or the city supply could be running low on water. An inefficient supply-line design could also be the problem behind low water pressure problems around the house. A plumber—a good, reliable one—would easily be able to figure out what the problem is. Also, if your neighborhood happens to have low water pressure in the morning because of too many people using it and have high water pressure at night, you might want to look into using a water container to solve the problem, at least until your plumber provides you with a better solution.

No Hot Water

Taking a hot bath at the end of the day is often the best way to unwind and unknot those muscles. So it can be the worst sort of torture when the hot water runs out. You don’t have to take that cold shower, though. Put in a call to your plumber. A 24 hour plumber understands emergencies and will provide you with the plumbing assistance you need anytime.

Replacing Your Water Heater

If you don’t trust your plumbing skills or simply have no affinity for following the instructions on how to install your shiny, brand new water heater, don’t take chances. Call in your plumber instead. Otherwise, you might find yourself dealing with a poorly installed water heater. If things go from bad to worse, you might even end up compromising your water heater. So just ask a professional plumber over. He won’t just be able to install it, he’ll be able to hook up the new one and toss the old one for you. Two birds, one stone.

Water Line Damage

Thinking about repairing those burst pipes? If you haven’t got the skills, experience, and the right tools for the job, better to call in a 24 hour plumber to take care of the problem for you. A skilled plumber can fix the problem faster, reducing the water damage in your home, and possible repair costs.
