When to call a plumber:
* Homeowners should not try to fix a damaged gas line. A licensed plumber has the appropriate pressure-testing equipment to properly test for hazardous leaks. They will also have the experience and training necessary to tighten loose pipe fittings and properly thread pipes.
* If your home is having serious flooding that is filling up your floors, call a plumber. If your drain is clogged and you are unable to unclog it, call a plumber. He will be able to get to the root of the problem and repair it.
* Water and sewer lines can be very complicated. Problems with these lines require the services of a plumber. Sometimes the water valve located in a box on the street may have to be turned off, requiring a special permit. If you have snaked the sewer line and the clog is still there, call a plumber. They have the tools and knowledge to find the source of the problem and fix it.
* A sewer back up in the yard or street is a serious matter. The ground may have to be dug up in order to find the source of the problem. Call a plumber.
* If your water heater is not working properly, you should not attempt to fix it yourself. You may need a new part, an electrical or gas repair, or perhaps a new water heater.
* If there is any problem that you are not sure of and are worried that you may cause further damage, call a plumber. You should never try a home repair job, you could be making things worse and even incur more expense.
