Why Hire A Licensed Professional Plumber?

Find more on: Robinson Plumbing News

plumberThe work of a plumber is never over. Plumbing issues happen and will continue to happen regardless of how well you take care of the plumbing system. Due to the constant use of the system, problems will develop over time. A few plumbing problems are simple enough to be fixed without the help of a plumber. However, there are also plumbing problems that many homeowners try to fix that end up making the problem worse. The plumbing system of a home should never be left in the hands of an untrained DIY-er. Plumbing systems are far more complex than most people believe.

Why You Should Hire A Reputable Lehigh Valley Plumbing Company

Plumbing systems have come a long way since the first earthen pipes were built. Today's systems consist of many components and designs, and plumbing has become so much more than just conveying fluids from one place to another. Modern plumbing systems now have different applications, including waste removal and heating and cooling. Any error done in just one of the components of the system could have a significant impact on how well the system runs. As such, a plumbing system should only be fixed and maintained by a licensed plumber. Here are the reasons why:

1. Plumbers Are Trained Professionals

Plumbers are required to undergo regulation and licensing under local and state laws. These laws vary depending on the area where the plumbers do business. Furthermore, they need to understand local and state building codes that cover plumbing to ensure that they operate in accordance with the law. This will help safeguard the health and well-being of their clients. Plumbers often start as apprentices. To become one, they have to register with the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training after they have had four years of related study. On top of that, apprentices need to have 7,600 hours of on-the-job training. Once they have acquired these qualifications, they must undergo an exam to acquire a license. The type of license that a plumber must have may vary as well. In some states, there is a license for pipefitters and a special license for professionals who will be working on gas lines. All these steps achieve one thing - professionalism on the job. A professional is more knowledgeable about the proper materials, procedures, and equipment to use to perform the proper maintenance and repair of the plumbing system.

2. A Licensed Plumber Can Ensure Safety

Keep in mind that plumbing systems also bring in potable water for use in the home. If the plumber does not have the proper training and work experience, errors in installations, repairs, and replacements could result in water contamination. Improper installations, servicing, and inspections could also increase the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and explosions. Incorrect plumbing services can also expose a community to diseases and unhealthy conditions. In 2016, for example, the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland experienced an outbreak of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that sickened several patients. A study later confirmed it was caused by improper plumbing. This problem is a real risk that could put close communities such as apartment complexes and condominiums in danger.

3. Professional Plumbers Use The Right Equipment

Fixing a plumbing problem is more than just using an adjustable wrench to complete a task. It is better to hire a licensed plumber because they have the proper tools and equipment to perform the job safely and effectively.

4. Mind The Warranty

Licensed plumbers can offer a guarantee on the jobs they perform, so clients can expect after-sales support. Furthermore, manufacturers of materials and water heaters often require plumbers to hold a license to install their products. If an unlicensed plumber uses or installs any of their products, manufacturers often consider their warranty void. Not only does a licensed plumber provide proper coverage, but they can also ensure the safety and comfort of a home and its occupants.
