Summer is a great time to roll up your sleeves and get started on those long-awaited home improvement projects. With sunny skies and more daylight, it’s tempting to take on upgrades yourself—especially ones that seem simple enough. But while some minor fixes are fine for a weekend DIY, certain plumbing projects – regardless of the season – are best handled by the professionals at Blau Sudden Service to prevent unexpected problems and yes, even personal injury.
We’ve seen firsthand how even a small error in a big project can spiral into a major repair. Here are a few examples of plumbing projects better left to our professional plumbing team.
1. Outdoor Plumbing Installations
Dreaming of an outdoor kitchen, shower, or new faucet with close access to your garden? While these might seem easy enough for you to handle, each of them involves more than just connecting a few pipes. Tapping into your home’s water supply, ensuring proper drainage, and staying up to local building codes all require training and a higher level of expertise than most DIY types possess. Instead, let Blau do it for you. We’ll handle everything from permits to precision installation, so your outdoor upgrades are safe, efficient, and long-lasting.
2. Sewer Line Services
Slow drains or unpleasant odors during the summer months could be a sign your sewer line needs attention—often due to growing tree roots or ground movement. While renting a sewer camera might seem like a DIY shortcut, diagnosing and repairing sewer problems is far more complicated (and messy) than it seems. At Blau Sudden Service, we have the proper tools, training, and experience to inspect and repair sewer lines safely and legally.
3. Water Heater Checkups and Replacements
Your water heater can get extra use during the summer, especially with kids home from school, frequent guests, or backyard parties. If you’re noticing fluctuating temperatures, rust-colored water, or odd noises, it might be time for a tune-up or even a replacement water heater. Either way, it’s a job for a licensed plumbing pro.
4. Pipe Rerouting for Renovations
Planning a bathroom remodel or relocating a laundry room? These exciting upgrades usually involve moving plumbing lines, something that requires careful planning and expert knowledge. Our plumbers will ensure your new layout is executed correctly, efficiently, and up to code.
