The Basics of Plumbing

When a plumber comes to your home, you can expect them to assess the scope of the problem, give you an estimate, and either fix the problem on-site or return with the proper parts and equipment. Most plumbers also offer emergency services, so a professional can be on-site quickly if a pipe bursts or a toilet floods.

Repairing toilets and drains is only a small part of a plumber’s job. Plumbers perform tasks such as:

• Dishwasher installation
• Garbage disposal installation, repair, and replacement
• Installation and replacement of plumbing fixtures
• Pipe repair and replacement
• Sewer and septic repairs
• Sewer line and water line replacement
• Washer and dryer installation
• Water heater installation, repair, and replacement

Whether you have a leaky sink or need to replace your entire bathroom, finding the right plumber is crucial. Professional plumbers should have a state license and liability insurance. You should also read online reviews and check reputable references to ensure that the plumber you hire is qualified.
