Plumbers happen to love water -sing household appliances. If it weren't for washing machines, dishwashers and water heaters leaking and discharging their water all over the place, plumbers would lose about 40% of their business. The rest of it comes from defective plumbing systems. When any one of these things causes a water damage problem in a house, the household has to find a plumber and spend $5000 with him. That's the average figure, give or take.
America really needs to pay more attention to its water damage problems. Every household would save thousands and thousands of dollars. Preventive care would be a great way to make sure these things don't happen in the first place. You need to replace appliances before they completely give up. Check for signs of damage or wear and so on. If you have a hot water tank for instance, look at keeping it no longer than 10 years.
Know how the movies in the sitcoms, they show a handy father as the type who walks about with a pipe wrench in his waist belt, looking ready to take anything on? Apparently, according to surveys, lots and lots of plumbers are actually no more competent than this. There are trained to fix a few simple problems, but nothing beyond that. For that, you'll have to find a plumber who is licensed.
