How can I determine if a leak in my plumbing system is a minor issue that I can fix myself, or if it requires professional repair services?
As a licensed plumber, I recommend assessing the severity of the leak by checking the size, location, and potential cause of the leak. Minor leaks that are small, easily accessible, and caused by loose fittings or worn washers can often be fixed by homeowners. However, if the leak is large, hidden behind walls or floors, or caused by a more serious issue such as a burst pipe or corroded plumbing, it is best to seek professional repair services to prevent further damage and ensure proper repairs.
