1. Blocked Toilets 

If your toilet is blocked and you can't seem to fix it, it's time to call a plumber. A plunger may be able to unblock it if the problem is minor, but if it doesn't work or the blockage is severe, calling a professional is your best bet. Trying to fix it yourself could make the problem worse and cause serious damage.

2. Burst Pipes 

If you have a burst pipe, it's important to turn off your water supply immediately and call a plumber. This is a serious problem that needs to be fixed as soon as possible to avoid further damage. Call (781) 272-2670 for emergency service.

3. Leaky Faucets 

A dripping faucet may not seem like a big deal, but it can actually waste a lot of water over time. If your faucet is leaking, try changing the washer first - this is usually the culprit. If that doesn't work, then it's time to call in a professional. Learn more about faucet repairs.

4. Running Toilets 

If your toilet keeps running even after you've flushed it, there's probably something wrong with the flush valve or flapper. These are both easy problems to fix and you can find instructions online or in your owner's manual on how to do so. However, if you're not sure what the problem is or how to fix it, calling a plumber is always the best bet. 

5. Clogged Drains 

One of the most common plumbing problems homeowners face is clogged drains. If you have a slow drain, there are some things you can do yourself to try and unclog it - like using a plunger or drain snake. However, if these don't work or you have a completely clogged drain, calling a professional is your best option as they will have the right tools and equipment to fix the problem quickly and efficiently. 

Conclusion: 

There you have it - a rundown of when to call a plumber and when you can DIY! Of course, these are just general guidelines and if you're ever unsure about something, it's always best to err on the side of caution and call in a professional.
