While there are many good reasons to contact a professional plumber, there may be times when you decide to tackle a project on your own.

If you go down this path it’s critical that your safety always comes first. Neglecting to take this approach can end up in disaster.

Here are three body parts you absolutely need to protect when taking on any plumbing project:

• You never know when an object will hit your face, which is why you need to wear eye protection at all times. A good pair of goggles can go a long way in making any plumbing project safer.
• Depending on the type of project, there’s a good chance it makes sense to wear a pair of gloves. If you don’t, you risk an injury that you don’t want to deal with.
• There’s a good chance you’ll spend a lot of time on your knees to complete your project. For example, this holds true if you’re working under a sink or next to a toilet. Without knee pads you’ll soon begin to feel the pain.

If you don’t want to take a risk with your health, it’s best to let a professional complete your next plumbing project. We’re always available to take your call and provide the help you require!
