Plumbing Dangers

Assistance from a licensed plumbing company in time of need is not only smart thinking, it’s necessary! When your plumbing goes haywire in your home or office building you need quick action to get the problem fixed.

Happenings like this are not only frustrating but inconvenient and in many cases you might consider most any solution including running to your nearby hardware store hoping to purchase something that will provide a “quick fix” yourself.

This can many times end up being an gross error in judgment. Professional plumbing companies who have been in business for a long time have heard all the “help me” stories, and would like to provide you with three of the most dangerous household plumbing mistakes.

#1 – The Unlicensed “Handyman” Contractor!

Anybody can claim to be a plumber. They may even use the term “handyman” whose mantra on his business card reads that he can fix routine plumbing problems like a clogged toilet or leaky faucet. However, the scary truth is that most who call themselves a plumber is NOT a licensed plumber. Homeowners and business owners can save money and should eschew newspaper ads touting the word “handyman” and contact a real plumber and avoid the pitfalls of having to fix someone else’s mistakes.

#2 – Incorrectly Fixing A Clogged Toilet!

Conversation: “Quick Robert, go to the hardware store and get some of that

stuff that fixes a clogged toilet!” “Dad, you tied that before, so use the plunger!” In this scenario these people are using the most common type of plunger that is especially designed for use on sinks.

Yet many people still use these “cut plungers” to clear the clogs in their toilets, ergo, here’s the problem. Air enters the suction area, which, in turn, prevents you from clearing the clog. What this family needed was a “flange” plunger with the extension that fits into a toilet drain in order to clear the clog. Your mistake was your plumber would know that; you didn’t.

#3 – Installing A Plumbing Fixture With The Wrong Tools!

Installing a plumbing fixture with the wrong tools can lead to a plumbing disaster and is asking for trouble; big time! Your unlicensed “handyman” may take apart a plumbing fixture only to forget exactly how to put it back together. An experienced, professional plumber does this work for a living every day and would never make that mistake.
