  1. The problem is under the house or somewhere that is difficult or dangerous to reach. Plumbers will have specialized experience and equipment that helps them solve plumbing problems more efficiently and safely than you can with the resources at your disposal in the average household. If you ever think that you might be in danger or unable to reach the source of the problem without significant inconvenience, it is likely best to let a plumber take care of that problem.
