All the Reasons to Have a Good Plumber

by | Apr 12, 2013 | Plumbing and Plumbers

A good plumber always has been and always will be a truly valuable commodity. Even in Fort Lauderdale, where there are literally hundreds of available plumbers in the area, a good plumber is still a very valuable commodity. For most people, once they find a good plumber they usually use the same plumber for all of their plumbing needs for the rest of their life or until the plumber retires.

What a Plumber Does

Plumbers Fort Lauderdale do much more than just unclog drains. Yes, that is a vital part and still a core part of what a plumber does, but they also do a whole host of other things that are equally important. One thing that a plumber does is back flow checking and certification. For homes and businesses with sprinkler systems and pools, a back flow valve must be installed to the main water line. This prevents any contaminants from seeping back into the public water system. It is state mandated that the back flow valves be checked periodically by a licensed plumber. The plumber will come out and attach hoses to the back flow valve to test the pressure. If it meets the minimum requirements, then the back flow valve will be certified until the next time it needs to be checked.

Installation is another big job of a plumber. The most common item installed is hot water heaters. The state law requires that only a licensed plumber can install a hot water heater and then the hot water heater tank can only be disposed of in a certain way, which many plumbers can help with. The installation of a hot water heater is tricky because of all the alignments of pipes and valves. Proper installation of the pressure relief valve is also very important to prevent any type of explosion from extreme temperatures and pressure in the hot water tank.

Another thing that a lot of plumbers in Fort Lauderdale offer is remodeling services. They can help customers completely renovate bathrooms, Jacuzzis, kitchens, and more. Another thing that is growing in popularity is the installation or remodeling of an outdoor kitchen area, which requires the expertise of a licensed plumber to complete the functionality of the outdoor kitchen area.

Finally, there is of course the job of repairs, unclogging, and cleaning of drains. This is still the core part of what a plumber does. Plumbers today can use cameras to find problem areas and fix it right away with their specialty tools.

Overall a good plumber is hard to come by. Once a good plumber is found, always keep the number handy for any emergency situation. Most plumbers will respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
