The Benefits of Hiring a Plumber

5 Reasons to Hire A Plumber Instead of Doing It Yourself

When it comes to plumbing issues in your home, you have two options: you can either try to fix the problem yourself or hire a professional plumber. While it may seem like a good idea to try and save money by addressing plumbing problems yourself, there are several reasons why hiring a licensed plumber is the better choice. 

Safety, quality and cost are among the factors you should weigh when deciding whether to pick up that wrench or pick up your phone. In this blog, we will look at common plumbing concerns homeowners have and how hiring a professional plumber can save you time, money and grief.

1. Safety

One of the most important reasons to hire a professional plumber is safety. Plumbing work can be dangerous and should only be done by someone who has the proper training and experience. A professional plumber will know how to replace leaking pipes without flooding your house and how to handle hazardous materials such as raw sewage. They will also know how to work with gas lines and other potentially dangerous situations that can arise during plumbing repairs. They’ll also ensure all your work is up to code and safe for your family. 

2. Quality Work That’s Guaranteed

A professional plumber will have the knowledge and experience to diagnose and fix your problem correctly the first time. Most plumbers will also back up their work with a warranty or guarantee.  At Benjamin Franklin, we guarantee our work with one of the most comprehensive warranties available. That means that if there are any issues after your repair, we’ll come back and fix it at no additional cost. On the other hand, you could try to fix the problem yourself but if you make a mistake, you may end up causing even more damage.

3. Cost

While it may seem like doing the work yourself will save you money, it could end up costing you more in the long run. We’ve seen plenty of DIY plumbers make costly plumbing mistakes and end up having to hire a professional to clean up the mess. This will of course cost you more money than if you had hired a plumber in the first place. Additionally, a professional plumber will have the right tools and access to wholesale prices, which means that they can often get the materials needed at a lower cost than you could. 

If you’re worried about the upfront cost of your plumbing repair, see if your plumber offers financing options. At Benjamin Franklin, we make it easy to get the financing you need.

4. Time

Plumbing issues can become time-consuming, especially if you lack experience around pipe work, fixtures and clogs. We’ve all set aside a Saturday afternoon for home projects only to throw in the towel after so many wasted hours and trips to the hardware store. Hiring a professional plumber will not only save you time, but it will also allow you to focus on other things that are important to you.

5. Insurance

Finally, it is important to consider insurance when deciding whether or not to hire a professional plumber. If you attempt to fix the problem yourself but end up causing damage to your home, your insurance may not cover it because you were not licensed or insured to do the work. A professional plumber will be licensed and insured, which means that if they cause damage to your home during the repair, their insurance will cover the damage.

The Advantage of Hiring a Plumber

We strive to educate our valued customers with a library of plumbing resources, but at the end of the day, you have to know your limits. If you’re a Dallas, Plano and McKinney resident wondering, “where can I hire a plumber near me?” you’re in luck. Simply schedule your plumbing repair today and relax knowing your issue will be fully resolved and quality work is guaranteed.
