DIY (Do It Yourself) is a trending method of working in your home. However, DIY plumbing has its own set of costs to not only your patience, but also your wallet. The information age has transformed what we’re able to do on our own. Have a problem with your computer? Do a Google search and there are several answers to help you solve it. All that costs you nothing, except your time and patience. While it’s economical to not call a professional to fix every problem you might encounter, the Do-It-Yourself method is not always the most cost-efficient means.
There’s a reason why professionals exist, and there’s a reason why professionals have a rate for their services. Their knowledge, experience, and expertise in their given profession ensures that they know what they’re doing. Having a professional provide a discernible and concrete solution to your problem saves your patience and stress-level.
The common war we fight internally when problems arise that are beyond our ability to solve ourselves, pit our patience and stress against our wallet and finances. We try a DIY solution from a website that has a low cost up front, maybe just the cost of a part or tool. But because we’re not professionals who have studied extensively in this area for years, or have a lot of experience doing this type of work, our patience suffers. Stress adds because the reality of DIY without experience is that the online directions rarely match our circumstances. Why can’t it be as easy as it seemed in the article online?
You can put a price tag on your peace, patience, stress-level and sanity. As seemingly simple as it is to watch a video on how to fix a leaky pipe, replace a shower head, convert a single faucet bathroom into a double faucet, etc., your situation is likely not as easy a demonstration video appears. There is a price tag for doing a job well, doing it right, and not having to return to it later because it wasn’t done right the first time.
Utility products and services can be expensive. Don’t be fooled by seemingly “easy” solutions that present themselves as inexpensive or cheap. Cheap is what they are, but cheap things usually cost more in the end because you have to repeatedly address them.
One outlet that the Google search offers that benefits your pocketbook is the suggestions and recommendations of others when it comes to finding solutions to high cost problems.

The price tag on your peace-of-mind is the only one we care about.
