Most contract professionals provide regular maintenance and let you know when and how often you should call them. But what about your local plumber? How often should you call for general plumbing services and do your pipes and drains need scheduled maintenance?
Here’s what you need to know:
You Can Typically Take Care of Your Own Plumbing
There’s no need to call a plumber for routine maintenance if you are taking care of your own plumbing properly. Unless you notice problems or encounter an issue in your pipes or with your drains, you can maintain your own system – and save yourself the time and cash of calling in the pros.
Plumbing Problems are Best Solved By Professionals
While keeping your system running properly is simple for most homeowners, the occasional plumbing problem is bound to arise at some point. Whether it’s a broken pipe caused by a change in the weather or gradual, normal build-up in pipes creating a blockage that causes issues with your plumbing, these problems are always best addressed by a professional. While it may seem like a good idea to try to solve them yourself and save some money, doing so creates the risk that the issue won’t be addressed properly – and may even be compounded.
Call Whenever You Notice Something Amiss
Strange sounds coming from your pipes? Unpleasant odors in your yard, emanating from your drains, or wafting from your basement? Having difficulty getting water to drain out of your sinks, tubs, or showers? Any of these issues are cause for alarm – and reason to call your local plumber right away.
