Monday, July 22nd, 2024

Have you ever poured a nice glass of water to drink on a hot day, only to be sickened by some kind of taste or odor that’s unpleasant?

Sewer Services: Are DIY Repairs Ever a Good Idea?

Monday, May 13th, 2024

The short answer to this question is no, but it’s obviously more complicated than that. The truth is that many different types of home plumbing jobs can seem like DIY jobs if you just buy the right equipment or spend enough time. After all, time and elbow grease go a long way toward fixing 90% of the problems in your home. But sewer problems are not a part of that category.

Sewer repairs in Neenah need to be performed by licensed plumbers, like the ones on our team. It’s not just for legal purposes (which we will get into), but it’s also for your own convenience and budget. These projects can take a long time and require expensive equipment that might be too expensive to reasonably purchase on your own.

So, here’s our breakdown as to why sewer repairs are always a good idea when remaining in our hands.
