Plumbing problems: when to call a pro?
Dripping tap, clog or a leak — what you can fix yourself and when you need a professional.
Small problem, big damage
Plumbing faults look minor at first, but when delayed they damage floors, furniture and the apartment below.
When to call a pro right away
- Pipe leak or damp on the wall — a hidden leak causes rot.
- Sewer smell and slow drainage — sign of a serious clog.
- Sudden drop in water pressure — an issue in the pipe system.
- No hot water — a boiler or combi fault.
What you can check yourself
Replacing a tap washer or cleaning the siphon are small jobs you can handle. But pipe cutting, welding and behind-the-wall work need a professional.
