• Keep Extra Parts: 

First and foremost, to become a DIY plumber, you need to buy some new parts for your house. Keep in mind, you are new at this so you will have to keep a few extra parts so that you have substitutes in case you break one or two parts. Additionally, you will need these parts later in case some other parts break or need fixing. You cannot rush to the market every time the damage takes place. 

• Take Help To Identify Parts: 

Your house’s plumbing system would have several parts and pipes, names of which would be difficult to remember, especially for the first time. While going for a quick shopping trip, just take pictures of all the parts that you need to replace so that you can easily find them at the store. A plumber has to remember all the parts so that buying and finding become easy. If not photos, you can even carry the older or damaged parts with you to the store. You will get to learn about them a lot.  

• Get Yourself A Hair Snare For Sinks And Drains: 

One of the most common problems that your plumbing system might go through is a hairball stuck in them. All you have to do is buy a hair snare that will suck out all the stuck hair from the drain in one go. With this instrument, you will not have to disassemble your plumbing parts and the work would be done quickly. This is a must-have tool, especially with an amateur plumber.

• Buy A Pair Of Pliers(Soft Jaws): 

When you have to tighten your bathroom plumbing joints, you use a general pair of pliers. This is one of the biggest mistakes that an amateur plumber does. You have to buy a pair that has soft jaws so that you don’t spoil the finish of your fixtures. A general pair of pliers would damage new fixtures beyond repair and you will have to buy new ones. 

• Switch Off The Mains Supply:

Whether you are working with electricity or plumbing systems, make sure to switch off the mains supply so that it doesn’t leak when you open up joints. By doing so you will save yourself from getting drenched while changing pipes and would save a lot of water from getting wasted. 

Remember the useful tips mentioned above so that you can easily become a plumber, at your first attempt itself. You will be able to save a lot of money and things from getting damaged. Moreover, you would be able to save a lot of time as well as you would already know the main factors to take care of while treating your plumbing system.
