Top 4 Reasons to Hire a Licensed Professional Plumber

January 6th, 2012 Joshua Mango

Hiring a professional plumbing contractor rather than opting to attempt to fix plumbing problems yourself is most certainly a wise move.

Here are the top 4 reasons to hire a professional plumber:

1. Fully Licensed

Plumbing demands specific technical skills and knowledge. The principal benefits of professional plumbers are that they are armed with all the necessary training, skill, tools and experience to handle all sorts of plumbing any plumbing issue that can arise in your home. Professional plumbers have an expert eye to detect plumbing problems in your home so that the further repair costs or damages might be avoided.

Professional plumbing contractors are also equipped with various tools not available to a layman or a local plumbing wannabe. Always check that you are working with a licensed master plumber. An unlicensed plumber is unable to pull the necessary permits when work is being done, and they probably are not adequately trained in current plumbing code requirements.

2. Emergency service

Mango Plumbing’s fully-trained plumbing professionals can handle multiple emergency plumbing service calls at once. If you’re sewer is backed up in your basement, Mango Plumbing & Sewer Service can usually make it out within 2-3 hours.

3. Safety guarantee

Moreover, it is also sensible to opt for professional plumbing contractor because most of the time they provide a safety guarantee and warranty coverage. This particular feature covers damage that might occur in your home, office or apartment during plumbing installations. Any faulty step on the part of the plumber might sever that association with other contractors and damage overall customer relations. No reputable business owner wants that to happen to their operation.

4. Safety coverage

Mango Plumbing is 100% bonded and insured. So as a customer you do not need to worry about being responsible for a plumber having an accident while working in your home. Also, valid and carefree service for customers, we complete drug testing and a criminal history check on all of our employees.

PEX Tubing

What Are The Benefits Of Using PEX Piping Over Copper Pipes?

December 6th, 2011 Joshua Mango

Are you considering re-piping your home? If you are, then I’m sure trying to decide what is the best way to go about it. Basically, your options for what material to use are between PEX and copper tubing.

Due to it’s usability and quality, PEX piping continues to grow in popularity. One major advantage of PEX tubing is it’s flexibility. While copper pipes have joints everywhere, PEX makes very few fittings. This means your chances of having water leaks are much less in the future.

The second advantage is the resilience of PEX when it comes to temperate changes. PEX tubing functions well in both freezing and hot temperatures. Even at temperatures over 200 degrees Fahrenheit, these pipes can stand up to it. This is the reason why internal heating systems are using them. In addition, snow-melting systems are also using these pipes. For you, it means saving money in the winter months because you’ll avoid having to pay a plumber to thaw your pipes!

PEX rarely requires repair and has a very long life span. However, if you need to repair your PEX tubing, it can easily be done. Chemicals have little to no effect on the surface of PEX tubing and the material does not corrode.

Perhaps the biggest benefit of opting for PEX over copper tubing if your considering re-piping your home is the price. Because it is made of plastic, and not copper, PEX tubing is only a fraction of the cost whether your installing it yourself or hiring a professional.

Should I Call a Plumber?

Should You Call an Emergency Plumber?

December 6th, 2011 Joshua Mango

Calling in a plumber at short notice can oftentimes be a costly mistake…

If it happens to land on a Sunday or a national holiday then you can start to see costs that can sometimes be nearly double those of normal business hours!

Although you should never underestimate the skills and workmanship a plumber will bring to you, unless it is an emergency you can often save money by not calling them out on off hours and trying to get a scheduling an appointment during regular business hours.

Before calling a plumber you should ask yourself:

Is this a real emergency?

Maybe if you have NO water or your sewer is backing up all over your basement it is a real emergency. Unless this is the case, or your property is in immediate danger, then you can often make do until the holiday or weekend has come to an end. Many people often panic when they don’t really need to and immediately call a plumber out at 2am because they just think they should, when often they can make do until a more reasonable time that won’t result in such hefty call out fees.

There are also certain jobs that you can carry out a patch repair until you can find a plumber that is not only local but also reasonably priced. If your tap is leaking then there are things that you can do yourself to try and fix it, and there are plenty of videos on YouTube and downloadable books that can almost teach you how to do these things.

It is vital that you should not underestimate the need for a plumber, especially when there is possible danger or you are living without heat or water, but there are times when you can easily hold off calling a plumber out at in the middle of the night and save some money by holding off until the morning when you should then be able to get the right plumber for you.

By taking your time, you can get things right, but by rushing into a decision you can often end up costing yourself a lot of unnecessary money.
