First, get used to doing small things by yourself. You have a runny toilet, no need to call a plumber. Just buy a new stopper and replace it. It takes one minute to fix it.
Clogged Drain
You have a clogged drain, put some drainer and leave it for a few hours then run hot water. It will most probably clean it.
Water Leak
If you have a major water leak, no need to panic. Just turn the main water off. If you don’t know where it is, find now when you don’t need it. Call your last plumber and he can tell you where to find it. This way you can limit the damage from water and do not have to call emergency plumber. Remember emergency plumbers cost more than regular plumbers. So if you can wait a little then wait and schedule a regular plumbing visit.
The best thing you can do it to do a regular maintenance. If you see little water dripping somewhere or a drain getting clogged. Don’t wait until it becomes a bigger problem. Fix it right away.
This can save you a lot of money in the long run.
If you ever call a plumber for a task, have him inspect other things in home. He is already there, might as well let him take a look so you do not have to call him again in a few days to address another thing.
If you follow these little tips, you’ll be able to save quite a bit of money on your plumbing.
