7 Plumbing Mistakes to Avoid At Home

Your plumbing system plays a crucial role in keeping your home comfortable. However, most people rarely think about their system until something happens that requires a professional plumber to fix it. At Rooter Hero Plumbing of Mesa, our goal is to help our clients maintain functioning and efficient plumbing systems. Most of these issues can be prevented by hiring a reputable plumber in Mesa for maintenance checks, and that’s where we come in as your go-to service provider. While DIY solutions are cost-effective, you risk further damage and costly repairs if you don’t have the expertise and experience to do the job. Here are some common plumbing mistakes to avoid at home.

Keeping the Water on During an Emergency

Whether you are dealing with an overflowing toilet, a pipe burst, or other plumbing emergencies, ensure you turn off the water. Primary water sources like the toilet or sink have a shut-off valve, making it easy to stop water from flowing in case of an emergency. The first step when facing a plumbing emergency is to ensure there’s no water flowing to the faucet before calling a plumber in Phoenix for repairs. Homeowners usually call the plumber and wait for them to deal with the problem, wasting a lot of water in the process and increasing the risk of severe water damage. While it is easy to start water removal instinctively, it can be an impossible task with water still flowing.

Overusing Drain Cleaners

Clogs are quite common in plumbing, forcing most people to use drain cleaners to alleviate any inconveniences. Drain cleaners are quite effective depending on the situation, but when used in excess, they can corrode your pipes. Chemical drain cleaners eat away or break down a blockage, but when used in excess, they can also eat away your pipes. It is advisable to consult a professional plumber before using a particular drain cleaner to determine if it is the right course of action. We recommend working with a plumber instead of damping drain cleaning products whenever you notice a clog.

Fixing Plumbing Issues on Your Own

While being handy is a proactive and commendable attitude, if you lack the expertise and experience of a plumber, it can take a turn for the worst first. Plumbing seems quite easy, but the slightest miscalculation can lead to costly repairs and replacement when dealing with complex aspects. The last thing you want going into a DIY plumbing project is to make things worse, turning it into a long, costly fix. If you are not trained in what you are attempting to do, call an expert plumber in Mesa to handle any concerns you have.

Ignoring Plumbing Issues

It is human nature to ignore plumbing problems hoping they go away. However, this doesn’t apply to your plumbing since ignorance only exasperates the problem. A running toilet can grow to a big basement flood or a significant spike in your water bill, which is quite inconvenient. Plumbing issues can’t resolve themselves no matter how hard you try to pretend they don’t exist, and the longer you take, the worse it is. If you have any concerns, we’ll be glad to issue an estimate on the repairs needed and determine the cause to help you make an informed decision.

Hiring a Handyman Instead of a Plumber

It is critical to ensure everyone who touches your plumbing is licensed. Although a local handyman is skilled at fixing small issues, you lack a course of action if he performs shoddy work. You also risk any warranties when using a licensed plumber, which can be devastating. It is nice to save money and give a friend work, but you shouldn’t do it at the expense of your plumbing. Rooter Hero Plumbing of Mesa can ensure you take advantage of available warranties, taking some of the financial burdens off without compromising quality.

Turning Off Your Heater During Winter

When you plan to vacation during winter, it seems like a good idea to shut off the heat to save money. This is a great idea in theory, but in reality, it leaves you susceptible to severe damage. Turning off the heat leaves your pipes prone to freezing temperatures where they can easily burst. We recommend turning the heat down rather than shutting it off completely to protect your plumbing when you are away.

Not Scheduling Plumbing Service

Our plumber in Phoenix can help you maintain an efficient and effective plumbing system, guaranteed to appreciate your property value and improve the quality of your indoor space. Plumbing can work effectively without any problems, but it experiences wear and tear over time. Regular maintenance helps to detect potential malfunctions before they become severe problems. It also protects you from any surprises if you want to sell your house.

If you have any plumbing issues at home, don’t make the rookie mistake of ignoring them. Call us at Rooter Hero Plumbing of Mesa and schedule a consultation with our experts. We guarantee exceptional plumbing services at competitive market prices.
