There are a lot of things that can go wrong with your plumbing, and some of them can be serious issues, while others may be what seem like simple fixes. Sometimes, it's easy to look at something going on at your house and decide you can fix it yourself. However, more may go into fixing even a small plumbing issue than you may realize. While there are videos online aimed at walking people through most types of home repairs, do realize that sometimes they have done the job wrong themselves or they may have edited a portion out, assuming people would know it or for any number of other reasons, but you may not know about it. Here are a couple of examples of reasons why you may want a plumber to come to fix your plumbing issues for you.

You may not be able to put a pipe on without it leaking

Whether you find that you have a clog in the P-trap under your sink or you have a damaged pipe you want to replace, the pipe may come out fine. However, when you put a pipe back on, it can often leak, and then you need to remove it and try it again until there is no leak. 

Plumber's tape that is used to help seal the pipes together and prevent leaks isn't an easy material for a lot of people to master, and this is where a lot of the issues of leaking connections can come from. However, a plumber can put that plumber's tape on right the first time and put the pipes back together with no leaks. 

You may not be able to install your new faucet to sit correctly

If you need a new faucet in your bathroom or kitchen, it can look like such an easy job that you may not even watch a video for it. It seems like installing the new sink would be as easy as making sure you buy one that matches the size and setup as your current one, pay attention to how everything is hooked up when removing the sink and install the new one in that same manner. 

However, there are a lot of things that can happen, and one common problem people have is that they can't get the bolt to tighten up far enough so the new faucet sits like it is supposed to so there won't be any leaks or other problems. A plumber can remove your old faucet and correctly install your new one quickly, and you won't have to worry about these issues.
