The average homeowner does not have the training or specialized tools to do plumbing repairs successfully.

DIY plumbing repairs can be extremely dangerous. Burst pipes and other plumbing disasters can cause extensive property damage. There is also the risk of personal injury from slipping on water or accidental electrocution if a water leak reaches the home’s electrical wiring. It is best to leave plumbing repairs up to a qualified plumbing contractor for safety and efficiency.

Fixing the Wrong Problem

Some plumbing problems can be difficult to diagnose without a plumber's specialized tools and training. Some of the specialized tools that plumbers use include devices such as leak detectors to find the source of a hidden leak. Plumbers may also insert cameras into the pipes to find the source of a blockage from tree roots.

There are a lot of different components of a plumbing system. The entire system is connected via a complicated system of pipes. A problem in one part of the plumbing could affect the overall function of the plumbing system. Without specialized training, it can be difficult for an inexperienced person to pinpoint the source of the plumbing problem.
