How long does the basement waterproofing process typically take, and what can I expect in terms of disruption to my daily routine during the project?

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.

This technology enables the plumber to identify the exact location and nature of the blockage without the need for invasive methods, helping to efficiently and accurately address the issue.
