There’s a good reason a plumber spends years in the field and has to meet strict criteria before they’re even allowed to sit for a license exam. Plumbing looks simple until you're staring at a leak at 2:00 AM.
​Take a look at this picture. To the untrained eye, it’s a connected pipe. To a professional, it’s a ticking time bomb.
​Here’s why:
​The wrong pipe: That bottom piece isn't even meant to be glued.
​The wrong glue: The valve is meant to be glued, but the wrong type of cement was used to force it all together.
​The mess: A mountain of purple primer won't save a bad connection!
​In the plumbing world, there are dozens of pipe types and just as many ways to connect them. That’s exactly why we like to see a job in person before we give you a price—every situation is unique.
​Look, everyone has their niche. I don’t try to service my own HVAC system, and I leave the major roofing to the pros. It’s okay not to know it all! But when it comes to the pipes protecting your home, it pays to call a professional who stands behind their work.
​Save yourself the headache (and the water damage). Let a neighborly pro handle it! 🛠️💧
