DIY Plumbing Problems and When to Call in a Professional Water is a destructive force and can cause significant damage to your home. For this reason, it is important to know when you should fix a plumbing issue on your own and when you should call in a professional. The following are basic plumbing repairs you can fix on your own: A Dripping Faucet Having your faucet leak at the base or around the body can be frustrating and will cost you money as well. There are a number of reasons that can lead to this problem, although a steady leak when in use generally means the washer and/or O-ring within the body needs to be replaced. You can turn off the water to the faucet and unscrew the handle to inspect the O-ring and washer for any damage. If it is worn, torn or warped, replace it with a new washer and O-ring and reassemble it. If the leak continues, you may have more serious causes that would require the skills of a professional plumber. A Running Toilet If water continues to flow into the bowl after you flush, it often means there is a problem with the lever or flapper that is located in the tank behind the bowl. Remove the toilet tank lid and find the chain for the flush lever. If it has sunk to the bottom or is caught under the flapper seal, reattaches it to the lever that is attached to the toilet handle to fix it.
