Homeowners don't like plumbing problems, because it is inconvenient and it can be expensive, too. That's why many homeowners opt for a DIY solution when the toilet is clogged or when the water heater is broken. Everyone likes to save a bit of money! However, if you don't know what you're doing, you can actually end up spending a lot more money. Professional plumbers are qualified and experienced, which means that they know what they're doing. Instead of seeing the surface problem, they understand the physics and the intricacies that can help them avoid bigger issues.

There are many good reasons why it's best to hire a plumber. Let's look at the top 5:

1. Hiring a plumber saves time.

They don't need to Google how to fix a clogged drain. They can fix complex issues in a fraction of the time it would take you to find an obscure "how to" article online.

2. Hiring a plumber means you don't have to buy tools.

Plumbers use specialized tools, which most people don't have in the shed. That means that you would have to buy these tools and plumbing materials, or you could just hire a plumber who already owns it.

4.  Hiring a plumber is convenient.

If you're going to try fix your broken, leaky toilet on your own, you must be prepared for some inconvenience. For instance, the bathroom might not be usable for a few days.

5.  Hiring a plumber can save lives.

A plumbing system is surprisingly intricate. There are many underground pipes that supply water and divert grey water or black water away from your home. It is easy for an untrained person to be confused. If you accidentally break a water supply line that runs near an overflowing drain, you could contaminate your potable water supply. Septic tanks and sewer lines contain raw sewage, which is toxic.
