1. Where can I turn off my water if needed?
When a pipe bursts, or a toilet won't stop overflowing, many people's first instinct is to immediately call a plumber. While you should still hire a plumber to repair plumbing emergencies, the first, and most important, thing to do is to turn off the water. Most homes in the valley have a main water line with an accessible shut-off valve, as well as shut-off valves on toilets and sinks. Turning water off in emergencies will save you money on the water bill and money in repairs where the water may cause damage.

4. Can I use chemical drain cleaners to unclog my drain?
Drain cleaners are a cheap and easy way to unclog drains in certain situations. The chemicals in drain cleaners eat away at whatever is doing the clogging, but it also will start to eat away at the pipe you are pouring it down. A safer and cheaper way to clear a drain is to sprinkle baking soda down the drain, add vinegar and wait a few hours before flushing hot water down the drain. The best option, especially if you have reoccurring drain clogs, is to consult a plumber. Chronic drain clogs may be a sign of a bigger problem.

5. Can I do a plumbing repair myself?
Even if you think you are handy enough to fix a plumbing problem, it is best to consult an expert in the case that the problem you have is more complicated than anticipated. You may be able to fix the problem temporarily, but in the long term you may cause more damage. Repairs you make to your home may require a permit to do, and may require a schematic or diagram be submitted to the city to obtain the permit. If this is the case you may end up depreciating your home's value by not acquiring the proper permits.

6. Can I hire a handyman instead of a licensed plumber?
Handymen are great when you have small projects, like painting a room or fixing a broken floorboard, but when it comes to plumbing you should always hire a licensed plumber. Handymen might be able to fix a plumbing emergency, but warranties on plumbing equipment in your home may be voided if anyone other than a licensed plumber services them. If he does a poor job, you have no other option but to then hire a licensed plumber to repair the damage, which may end up costing you more in the long run.
