Many minor plumbing issues can be resolved by a handy do it yourself type. Caring for a clogged drain with chemicals or clearing a trap may be in your comfort zone. There are many other plumbing problems or plumbing emergencies that are better off handled by a skilled plumbing contractor who is equipped with the knowledge, experience, and tools to get the repair job done efficiently. Here are a few such issues.

1. A clogged drain or clogged sink that you cannot clear. Lots of gunk can accumulate and harden; hair, soap, fats, and grease, etc. The plumber will have the tools to remove a hardened clog, and if the piping needs to be taken apart, will put it all back together correctly.
   
   
2. Plumbing repairs associated with the toilet such as odors may mean a burst sewer pipe, an unsealed wax ring or an improper sewage or septic installation. Clogged toilets can be something very simple, remedied by a plunger, but could also be as serious as a blocked or broken sewer line. Improper flushing may call for new parts inside the tank. Odors coming from a bathtub drain may be due to a broken pipe, leaky trap, or a dry trap.
   
   
3. Freezing temperatures can cause frozen water lines to burst pipes, a real plumbing emergency. Pipes will freeze, expand, and then burst. This is a serious matter that can cause lots of flooding damage throughout the house. Water lines can also be damaged by soil and water causing corrosion of the pipe. Older, cheaper pipe can become brittle and crack. Excessive pressure within a pipe and improper installation can be the cause of many plumbing repair needs.
   
   
4. Leaking faucet repair, leaking sink repair, leaking garbage disposal repair and leaking pipe repair are also jobs that may require a professional. Is it just a fitting that needs to be tightened or is something more serious going on?
   
   
5. Low water pressure or water temperature problems. Maybe there are defective parts or rotting pipes needing a professional to make the plumbing repair. Maybe the well tank or bladder has gone bad.
   
   
6. Water heater repair problems are common causing the unwelcome surprise of a cold shower in the morning. Defective parts, sediment accumulation in the tank, or a burned out heating element may be the cause. 

Professional plumbing contractors are experienced and able to handle all the difficult plumbing repairs. They are equipped with the proper tools and supplies, and are trained and licensed.
