Knowing when to call a plumber can save you time and money!

Homeowners with limited home-improvement skills often make minor plumbing repairs around the house, preferring to save money on what appears to be a small problem. Sometimes, however, a plumbing problem can be made much worse when not handled correctly, potentially causing extensive damage to your home and costing much more than it should have. If you know when to call a plumber, you will save yourself time and trouble in the long run.

Leaking slabs and water-pressure drops

A leaking slab means there is a broken water line underneath a concrete slab. These types of leaks are very difficult to find and will reduce water pressure throughout the house. If left unrepaired, the leak can eventually ruin your flooring and home furnishings, and drive your water bill through the roof. A licensed, experienced plumber can quickly and accurately locate the source of the leak with specialized leak-detection equipment, minimizing damage and cost.

Sewage smell

If you're wondering when to call a plumber, a sewage smell should leave little room for doubt. The stench aside, a leaking sewer system is a potential health hazard. Raw sewage contains bacteria, viruses and pathogens. When raw sewage leaks in or around your home, do not attempt the repairs yourself. Immediately call a professional plumber who is equipped to handle these situations safely and reduce your risk of exposure.

Leaking tub drain

A leaking tub drain can ruin flooring and invite mold and mildew growth — a known health hazard. Although this is a simple repair, it requires a specialized tool to tighten the drain correctly. Without the tool and experience using it, serious damage to the tub's finished surface is possible, leading to tub refinishing or total replacement.

Undermount sink installation

Undermount sinks are commonly installed in solid-surface countertops, such as granite, marble and acrylic. If the sink isn't installed properly, it can detach from the countertop, causing damage to the sink and cabinets — and possibly even water damage. If you're not an experienced plumber, you should not attempt this installation yourself.

Protect your investment in your home. Instead of fixing a problem yourself, know when to call a plumber.

Friendly and punctual

Jason has come to my house three times. Each time he was friendly, punctual, and very clear about the cost of repairs and what kind of work was required. At every step he kept me informed. Outstanding service. Would definitely call on Rooterplus again.

Came through for me

I needed to service my septic tank prior to sodding my backyard. I called 2 other companies prior to RooterPLUS, Both showed up with equipment that couldn't do the job. With only a couple day window available, RooterPLUS came through for me the next morning with the right equipment and a professional and pleasant crew.

Doc and Kory assessed the situation and got right to work. They knew exactly what to do and completed the task perfectly. They explained everything throughout the process and pointed out potential issues as they worked. Everything was done to my complete satisfaction and I'll definitely use RooterPLUS in the future for my septic tank needs.

Neighborhood rockstars

We had an issue in my neighborhood where a water main pipe burst, leaving a giant mess of a leak spewing into the street. We called numerous plumbing companies who all said they couldn't get out in a timely manner. RooterPlus! said no problem, we'll be out asap.Josh came out, assessed the situation and said he had to go get some more supplies. He came back with the necessary supplies and got to work. And he worked and worked and worked from 6pm until 4:30 am! He had to call in reinforcements (Josh 2) and they worked hard as a team to repair the issue. Then they came back out only 5 hours later to put the finishing touches on the job.I think I speak for the entire neighborhood when we say THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for being absolute rockstars and getting our neighborhood back up and running.
