3 Ways Improper Planning Can Cause Plumbing Problems

3 Ways Improper Planning Can Cause Plumbing Problems

Whether it’s a simple plumbing project that you’ve planned to do for a while or it’s a major bathroom renovation, you want to make sure you’re giving yourself enough time to plan. Below are some of the ways that not planning ahead can cause trouble with your home plumbing.

  1. Fixtures – One of the things you should know is that a lot of fixtures can cause problems. If you have too many, your water pressure may be decreased.
  2. Space – If you don’t have a lot of space in between your bathtub and toilet, you may discover that you have an uncomfortable situation. It’s no fun trying to play Twister when you wake up in the middle of the night and need to use the toilet.
  3. Not Paying Attention – When you take something apart, you want to make sure that you are noting how the pieces are going to fit together. Otherwise, you may feel like you are trying to put a jigsaw together when you try to put it together again. It’s a good idea to take out your phone and snap a pic before you begin disassembling the item.

These are three problems that you can run into if you don’t take the time to plan when you’re doing a do-it-yourself plumbing project. The next time you have to do something with your plumbing, take some time to plan. Otherwise you may discover that you are working on your DIY job a lot longer than you had planned.
