Plumbers handle a lot more than just leaky pipes and running toilets. Plumbers handle a lot of the major appliances in your home or office. A local Plumber can be your best friend in a plumbing emergency, or just a routine plumbing issue.
The roots of plumbing go way back many thousands of years it is a convenience to have running water in your home. Pretty much any appliance that has water running thru it or near it can be replaced or in some cases repaired by a professional plumber in your area.Plumbers do much more than unclog drains and install new faucets. Plumbers install and maintain numerous types of piping systems found in residential and commercial properties, power plants, water treatment facilities, waste disposal plants, and factories. Almost every home owner has a few essentials tools on hand to cope with plumbing emergencies. Most bathrooms will have a plunger nearby to take care of a clogged toilet or slow drain, and many home owners have a pipe wrench on hand to tackle basic repairs.
The work of a professional plumber is far more complicated, of course. For a new construction project, work generally is separated into “rough-in” plumbing, i.e., the pipes and fittings that go behind the walls and ceilings, and the finish work whereby the rough-in plumbing gets connected to fixtures inside the building.
Blockages and leaks.
Sometimes a toilet or sewer line blockage is too stubborn to fix with a plunger and elbow grease. A plumber may need to use specialized rodding equipment to deal with the issue.
Frozen pipes.
This is mainly an issue in northern climates, although from time to time southern home owners get caught by surprise when Mother Nature hammers them with unusual freezing temperatures because their homes typically lack the protective insulation that exposed pipes typically get wrapped in up north. Plumbers may be called upon to thaw pipes, or replace those that may shatter during extreme cold if left unattended for a long period of time – with devastating results for the unlucky home owner.
Garbage Disposals.
In most cases repairing a garbage disposal is not the answer. There are several moving an electrical components and when they go bad it's best to replace the whole unit. Fixing the bad parts may lead to multiple service calls which in the long run will just add up in service call fees.
Dishwashers.
Much like garbage disposals dishwashers only last so long. When you add up how many times they are used in a 10-15 year period you realize that your dishwasher takes a lot of abuse. Having a professional plumber install a new dishwasher will save you money in the long run.
In some cases appliance repair technicians are the right folks to contact when you think a repair is in order. However if you are dealing with an appliance or plumbing fixture that you know is old then a local plumber is your best bet. When you search for plumbers online you will most likely see the national chains right alongside local plumbers. It's just a suggestion but in most cases the national plumbing chains have set costs for labor and parts. A local plumber may have more flexibility in their pricing. And since they are local your plumber will be more interested in doing a great job so they can count on more referrals in the future.If you live in the Maplewood, Stillwater, Oakdale North Saint Paul Hugo area your trusted local plumbers are Paul Vadnais Plumbing, family owned 4th generation plumbers.
