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.
