If you like working with your hands, then you may do some home projects yourself to save money on a contractor. However, plumbing and septic systems should always be left to an expert. Why is professional service worth the investment? Consider some of the following reasons.

Benefits of Hiring a Professional for Plumbing & Septic System Work

1. Efficient Work

Tackling a project yourself often comes with unexpected complications. Often, DIYers find that a project takes much longer to finish than they originally thought it would because they don’t always have the tools or experience. During this time, an unfinished job could mean that your septic system is out of commission, or your family doesn’t have access to hot water. A professional will get the job done efficiently so you can get back to your routine with as little disruption as possible.

2. Reliable Results

Plumbers are typically trained between two and five years to master their trade; it’s not an easy job. There are a lot of nuances in plumbing work that the typical person wouldn’t think about, such as properly sloping the plumbing lines or using the right tool on certain types of metal or plastic piping.

Many DIYers eventually experience leaks or other issues because they overlooked a small but key factor. These problems can cause considerable damage, which may cost more to repair than it would have cost to hire a plumber in the first place. Hiring a professional means the job will be done right the first time.  

3. Building Codes & Permitting Requirements

Every state has regulatory agencies that govern building codes and issue permits for intensive projects. These details are often outside the average homeowner’s expertise, but professionals are familiar with them. Failing to get a permit for a project that requires one can result in fines or needing to undo the work, and installing fixtures that aren’t up to code could prevent you from selling your home in the future. A plumber will ensure the finished work follows all applicable regulations, from the initial permit application to the final inspection.
