Here are 3 reasons why you shouldn't do renovation or new construction plumbing on your own: 

1. Save Money in the Long-run

By trying to cut corners and save money, you could be setting yourself up to flushing a lot of money down the drain. Yes, it may be more expensive up front to hire a plumbing contract to do the piping and drainage installations, but if you do it yourself and you do something wrong you may have a huge maintenance issue arise that will cause you to have to drop some big money to get it fixed the right way. It's best to save yourself the time, hassle, and money to have it done right the first time. Plus, most contractors guarantee their work - so if an issue does arise in the future, chances are it'll be covered and at no or little expense to you to get it corrected.

2. Experience Means it's Done Right

You may have a general knowledge of plumbing and what needs to be done for proper flow and functionality, but there's so much more than just laying piping and calling it a day. If you're not familiar with all that goes into proper plumbing it can tack on to your completion time because you're having to search for answers on how to do the job. If you have a contractor do it for you, the job will be done more quickly and efficiently. There are also things that must be done to adhere to building codes and regulations that you may not have knowledge of. An experienced and trained plumbing contractor has the knowledge required to get the job done quickly, and within the guidelines set for building codes.

3. The Right Tools for the Job

There's a lot of maintenance that can be done around the house with your standard simple tool kit. Installing plumbing is not one of those tasks. There may be excavation work involved to get the job done. Another thing that you can't do with your tool box items is see internal piping and hard to see sewer lines. A plumbing contractor is equipped with the right technology and equipment to get the job done more efficiently and quickly. Not to mention, the use of proper technology has a huge safety advantage as well.
