Can I fix a water leak myself or should I hire a professional?

You can try simple DIY for a slow drip at a fixture, but call a professional for burst pipes, water heater leaks, basement flooding, or sewer backups. Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling offers true 24/7 emergency response and upfront pricing before work starts. We handle urgent repairs fast, including burst pipes and tank leaks. To prevent emergencies, schedule plumbing inspections at least every two years and consider annual drain cleaning.

Quick checks:

  • Shut off the nearest water valve or main.
  • Move valuables and contain water if safe.
