While it might be tempting to attempt a DIY reno and complete the plumbing yourself it is probably best you leave the plumbing to the professionals. The last thing you need is unwanted leaks, pooling and lack of pressure causing major headaches.

Look out for signs like dripping faucets, slow drains, water stains, unusual odors or inconsistent water pressure. These are the likely culprits, and signs that it's time to book a plumbing repair soon.

Small faucet leaks can sometimes be fixed with a simple replacement washer or cartridge, but larger issues may require professional assistance.  

While it's always good to feel empowered to fix things around your home — just remember to call a pro when in doubt.

You should have a professional plumber inspect your plumbing system annually to catch any potential issues early on.
