Plumbing Issues That Should Never Be DIY

If you are a DIY enthusiast, you it might be inclined to fix various things around the house and carry out home improvement projects. While it is okay to handle small carpentry or painting work, it is never a good idea to try to fix plumbing issues yourself. The latter can be a little complex and require the expertise of licensed and professional plumbers like the ones at Shire Care Plumbing.

 

While it’s okay to handle small jobs like replacing faucet valves or unblocking a garbage disposal, there are certain plumbing tasks that should never be DIY such as:

 

  • Sewer Blockage– If you find there is a constant backup of water in your shower area, bath tub or even your kitchen and bathroom sinks, these are signs of a severe sewer blockage. While smaller blocks can be fixed using a plunger these serious ones require special tools and knowledge to clear.

 

  • Pipe Bursts- If there is a pipe burst on your property, never try to fix it yourself. Pipes are intricate networks and are interconnected to various fixtures and fittings. Only an experienced plumber would be able to use the right type of product of materials and handle the pipe burst repairs expertly.

 

  • Cracks in the Toilet– If your toilet has cracks, you would need the expertise of a professional plumber to determine what solution would work best for you. In most instances, cracked toilets would require complete replacement. The plumbers would be able to provide you information about the different types of products to use and handle the installation professionally.

“Our regular plumber has not been well so we called Shirecare Plumbing after seeing a local advertisement, Nick attended our property the same day we called for help. It was comforting to see a plumber arrive on time and who presented well. We had horrible mess down the side of our house after a blockage in the bathroom. Nick explained to us there was a chance we had a damaged pipe as there were tree roots blocking our pipe, he could remove the tree roots and show us on camera the damage to our pipes. Peter (my husband) and I were quite concerned of further damage so we asked nick for advice.
We decided to go ahead and remove the broken pipe and replace with new PVC pipe, after nick and the team at Shirecare restored our path we both felt with full confidence the job was done properly, very professional and always well mannered. We would like to take this opportunity to thank your company for such a seamless interaction and helping make our lives a little easier”

“We have recently suffered some in house damages mainly in 2 rooms the Kitchen and the Bedroom following some very bad weather with heavy rain and strong winds.
The builder looking at the repairs called in shire care plumbing to look at the damage and also to test the Pipes in the wall in the shower room in case of their leaking internally in the wall.
The plumber Nick attended very promptly and courteously. Nick explained what he will be doing and after the test explained the results. Whilst attending Nick asked what the problem we had experienced and on his own initiative went back into the roof to see if he could see any fault inspect the roof to see if he could spot the possible entry by water inside the roof. Earlier inspection by the Roof person sent by the Repairers reported no leak in the roof area. The plumber Nick found the hole in the roof and took photos to show the repairers. This photo showed clear daylight and would be the cause of water entering this area.

Thank you to Nick and his wonderful attitude to help us in this very difficult circumstance.”
