A Plumbing Error Can Be a Huge Disaster

When you make a plumbing error in the do it yourself project you may not even realize you made the mistake. Since it’s likely you won’t have the tools and equipment necessary to check the plumbing when it’s complete the job will likely be finished before you ever try it out. And if it doesn’t work like it should you may need to remove all work that was added until you reach the bad area. Causing you to do the work again because of a simple error. For plumbers who do work like this on a daily basis it’s much easier for them to spot a mistake (although everyone makes a mistake from time to time). You may also have a water leak in the bathroom which can cause water damage all through out the home. It’s small things like this that can absolutely make a small project with a little budget into a huge problem where you’re needing  restoration company and much more.

Another problem you may encounter is that you’ll need to get the bathroom inspected by the building inspector. Not having a plumbing contractor do the work means you’ll likely need a separate inspection from a plumbing contractor before the building contractor which can drive up the price. This is to find mistakes and problems with the plumbing before it’s covered which if you have a problem this inspection can save you some money but you’ll need to pay the plumbing contractor for the inspection.

Another area that you’ll likely encounter throughout a bathroom remodel is electrical work and the wiring in the bathroom. Electrical work in the bathroom is much different than any other room in the home. The kitchen is also a problem area because it contains many of the same components as the bathroom. It’s because of water and electricity in the bathroom and the threat of them contacting each other which can be equally in the bathroom. Making sure the electricity and water in the bathroom doesn’t mix is important. Bathrooms use a special receptacle in the wall that is designed to cut power quickly if there is a short in the bathroom such as a hair dryer falling into the tub of water or toilet. Without the GFCI installed it could spark and cause an electrical fire which can destroy your entire home.
