A residential plumber installs, repairs, and maintains pipes, fixtures, and water heaters in homes. Typical work includes fixing leaks, unclogging drains, replacing faucets, installing toilets, and connecting appliances like washing machines or dishwashers. They also inspect water pressure, test shut-off valves, and ensure the plumbing meets local code.
If the repair estimate reaches 50 percent of the cost of a new unit, replacement is usually the smarter choice. New water heaters, garbage disposals, and toilets carry 6 to 10 year warranties, while repaired parts often fail again within 12 months. Ask the plumber to show both numbers in writing for clarity.
Have the main shut-off valve exercised once a year so it does not seize. Keep water pressure between 40 and 80 psi with a regulator if needed. Avoid flushing wipes, even those labeled flushable. Pour a kettle of hot water down kitchen drains weekly, and schedule a full plumbing inspection every 2 years.
A tank water heater under 10 years old often makes sense to repair: common fixes include replacing the anode rod, gas valve, thermocouple, or heating element. When the tank itself leaks, replacement is the only safe option. Tankless units need annual descaling, especially in areas with hard water above 120 mg/L of calcium carbonate.
Test the main shutoff valve twice a year to keep it operational. Drain 2 gallons from the water heater every 6 months to flush sediment. Inspect exposed supply lines under sinks for moisture or corrosion. Replace rubber washing machine hoses every 5 years with braided stainless steel versions to reduce burst risk.
A sudden spike in the water bill, warm spots on the floor, or the sound of running water when fixtures are off suggest a slab leak. Plumbers use electronic listening equipment, pressure gauges, or thermal cameras to pinpoint the broken section before any concrete is opened. Rerouting the line is often cheaper than breaking the slab.
Modern supply lines use cross-linked polyethylene, known as PEX, or Type L copper. Drain lines are PVC Schedule 40 or, for cast iron replacement, no-hub couplings with rubber gaskets. Brass or stainless steel supply stops last longer than plastic ones. Quality angle stops and braided steel connectors reduce future leak risk.
A plumber usually begins with a manual drum auger sized for the pipe, between 8 mm and 16 mm. If the blockage sits deeper, a powered sectional machine with a cutting head breaks through roots or grease. Hydro jetting at 2,000 to 4,000 psi cleans the full pipe wall, removing buildup that chemical cleaners cannot reach.
Manufacturer warranties cover tank and component defects for 6 to 12 years depending on model. Labor warranties from the plumber usually run 1 to 2 years. Ask whether the warranty transfers if you sell the home and whether it excludes labor costs for warranty repairs. Get all warranty terms in writing before payment.
Pressure below 40 psi at fixtures often points to a clogged aerator, partially closed shutoff valve, or a failing pressure reducing valve. Pressure above 80 psi stresses supply lines and may shorten water heater life. A plumber measures pressure at an outdoor hose bib with a gauge to confirm the issue.
