DIYers Should Take Note
12
Things Your Plumber Doesn’t Want You To Know

A plumber isn’t
obliged to tell you it’s an easy fix…
You
Should Shop Around
If you have a major fix in your home,
it’s important to shop around for a plumber to do the work. At least three bids
will help you determine the range of the project, so you can weigh the pros and
cons of price and the reputation of the plumbers. Get references and contact
them. Also, a good plumber isn’t likely to nickel and dime you.
Outside
Faucets Should Be Turned Off During Winter
Want to avoid frozen pipes? An easy
way help prevent them is to disconnect your outside hoses in the fall. Make
sure the water is shut off from the inside as well. Drain the hoses and store
them until the following spring.
The
Toilet Handle Is Easily Replaced
If you’re constantly tampering with a
loose toilet handle, it means the flap valve needs to be replaced. Instead of a
plumber charging you $100 for the job, you can get the part at a hardware store
for a mere $4 and install it very easily yourself.
Plumbers
Need a License
No plumber is going to come right out
and explain that they don’t have the required license to work for you. So if
you know someone who is a great plumber, but they don’t have a license, hire
them at your own risk. Licensed plumbers know the local building codes and
regulations, have completed a certain amount of hours on the job and are
insured.
Plumbers
Don’t Clean Up
While it’s their job to make sure
your pipes work like a well-oiled machine, it’s not their job to rebuild the
wall they had to demolish to make that happen. So, while you’re going to get
that water problem fixed, you’ll want to discuss in detail what kind of “mess”
they might leave behind prior to the start of the project so you can plan
accordingly.
Where
to Find a Quick Plumber Recommendation
If you’re in a jam and need a plumber
stat, don’t just go with the first person or company you come across on Google.
Call a plumbing supply or fixture store, as they usually refuse to work with
bad plumbers.
They
Might Not Have the Right Part
Need a quick fix? After having a
plumber come out to your house, they might tell you the part needed to fix your
toilet or sink issue is going to take a week. Don’t be too amenable if you
can’t wait. There’s no shame in working with another plumber who can get the
part and do the job when you need it.
They
Can Move That!
Plumbers may not go out of their way
to let you know that a toilet or sink can be moved. But if you’ve been working
with them on a renovation, and they tell you something can’t be transferred to
a new space, ask them to explain to you in detail why not.
You
Have a Choice With Parts
Some parts are more expensive than
others. If a plumber doesn’t given you an option, ask, or better yet, do your
research, if you have the time. Chances are, you can use PVC pipe instead of
copper and save some money.
A
Running Toilet Is a Cheap Fix
Help! The toilet won’t stop running.
It’s a bummer, sure, but it’s something you don’t need to call your plumber
about. In fact, DIYers should take note that it’s a quick fix that will cost
you just $5. For instance, your handle might just be sticking, which can be
solved by spraying some lubricant where the handle meets the porcelain.
Spend
More Now, Save a Lot Later
Not all plumbers are going to come
right out and tell you that the better fixtures you have in your house, the
less likely you are to call them. Case in point: That rubber washing machine
hose is much more likely to burst than a more expensive and durable stainless
steel one.
Keep
That Allen Key
Garbage disposers usually come with
an Allen key. Find a good place to store it, and when the disposer jams, you
can follow the directions in the owner’s manual to fix it yourself. It’s as
simple as inserting and twisting, and doing this yourself will save you the
hassle and cash of a service call to the plumber.
