Many homeowners and property owners take on DIY plumbing jobs as a way to save some money and perhaps try something new. This is not a problem if you are changing a faucet or a showerhead, but there are some plumbing fixes that you should leave to the professionals. These are jobs that require specific technical knowledge as well as special equipment. We have put together a list of some plumbing fixes you should not try. You will be better off leaving these to the experienced plumbers like those at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of New Jersey.
If there is a little chance of mistakes when replacing a toilet, there is a lot more when replacing or installing a water heater. This is especially because electricity or gas are involved when it comes to a water heater installation. If the electricity is not properly shut down, you run the risk of being electrocuted. Similarly, improperly replacing the gas lines can cause a gas leak.
It was a late Saturday night. We had a super stubborn clog in some old galvanized pipes. Mr. Rooter send out Phil. Phil was great! He found the problem pretty quick. With determination and professionalism he final got it cleared out. I would recommend Mr. Rooter and Phil to anyone! He even cleaned up. We are so happy we choose Mr. Rooter!
We had a plumbing emergency and found Mr. Rooter while frantically searching for a 24-hour plumber. We feel like we hit a gold mine. Not only did we get a timely response. Everyone at Mr. Rooter was friendly, professional, competent and went above and beyond. Our plumber, Phil, was extremely helpful and gave us tips we could use moving firwars. Not to mention, the cost was extremely reasonable.
Had sewer water backup in toilet and tub. Received callback as promised and arrived early. The tech determined we needed the main line to be cleared. He quickly located the opening and had us cleared in minutes. Very happy with the service. I was not prepared for the fee but it was an emergency.
Plumber, Phil, came out on short notice on a Saturday night and fixed our issue quickly, professionally and courteously. I contacted a different, well known plumbing company right before Mr. Rooter. The receptionist was rude and they didn’t call me back to say they couldn’t make it until after Phil left! The Mr. Rooter receptionist was very nice and they called me back quickly. I’m glad they did.
I just wanted to say James did a great job at my house. Excellent service, professional and very nice. Thank you so much for helping me with my plumbing problem. Did wonderful job.
I was very happy that I went with Mr. Rooter’s. The service was very quick and up front. Jessie James was very helpful answering my questions and replacing my hot water heater. He was pleasurable to do business with. If another problem arises in my home, I will be using this company again.
A thorough, professional, pleasant experience. I had a back-up in the 50 year-old pipes of my new home. I called Mr. Rooter to have them locate the blockage, snake the line, and then use their video snake to get a visual of the integrity of the pipes. I’m glad that I called and will use them again for future needs.
You get what you pay for. Edwin Robles of Central NJ educated me as a 1st time homebuyer on why and what he was repairing, prevention, PROMPT,(on a sunday at that!) clean, knowledgeable, super professional but DOWN TO EARTH and at a REASONABLE PRICE! Sewer pipes unclogged and main water line fixed. I was no longer crying once job was thoroughly executed. After all $#@* $tinks but somebody has to do it and I HIGHLY recommend him and this company for a job well done. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Absolutely lovely office staff! I always knew when the repair person was coming. Lorenzo our repair guy was awesome, I really don't think there is anything he can't do. He looks young, but don't let that fool you! So happy all the repairs are behind us. We really just did a one-stop shopping and decided to have everything we've put off fixed because it was such a tremendous experience!
Frequently Clogged Drains
Unclogging a drain is easy enough. You just pour a chemical drain cleaner down the line and let it do its magic – right? Sure, but not really. These products marketed as quick solutions also have a list of ingredients that include harsh chemicals. These chemicals can deteriorate your pipes and do more harm than good.
The alteatives are household concoctions, plungers, and drain snakes. These can dislodge shallow clogs, but they can also just push the blockage deeper down the drain line. If you are experiencing frequently clogged drains, then it might be time to just clean the drain line. Professional plumbers use hydro jetting technology to thoroughly clean the inside of the drains for seamless flow.
Replacing a Toilet
If you were to read or watch a tutorial on how to replace a toilet, you would probably feel confident. The steps seem straightforward, but don’t be fooled. There is a lot of risk of mistakes and these mistakes can be costly considering your toilet is responsible for disposing of human waste.
At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of New Jersey, we have taken many calls to correct some of the mistakes caused by DIY plumbing fixes. One problem is not shutting off the water line properly or even damaging the water line. The good news is you will notice these mistakes quickly.
A more subtle mistake involves the seal. If the seal is not tight, then you can expect leaks into the flooring, eventually causing water damage and exposing you to harmful bacteria, pathogens, and microbes.
Fixing Leaking or Burst Pipes
Locating a leaking or burst pipe is challenging and can cause a whole lot of damage as you open up walls to access the pipes. A professional plumbing company such as Mr. Rooter Plumbing of New Jersey, however, uses sophisticated technology to perform non-invasive leak detections.
Even if the pipe is visible, removing and replacing the pipe requires special techniques and equipment such as a torch to fuse the pipes together. Why risk water damage and a headache when you can just call Mr. Rooter Plumbing of New Jersey for quick, reliable, and affordable service?
