You can fix some plumbing problems with a plunger and a little elbow grease, but other problems are defiantly not DIY projects. DIY plumbing repairs leave many homeowners underwater, sometimes spending more money on subsequent repairs than the cost of hiring a professional in the first place.
Make Matters Worse
The unexpected consequences of DIY plumbing repair can make matters worse. A leak becomes a huge crack, water temperatures reach dangerously hot levels, and other issues make some realize the job was too complicated, too late. A homeowner may perform what they think is the perfect plumbing solution only to realize the real problem was missed entirely—a waste of time and money. When it comes to plumbing, if you’re not sure exactly how to fix it, it’s always best to hire, or at least get advice from, a professional.
Water Damage
Even a misplaced turn of the wrench in the wrong place can result in a leak gushing several gallons of water a minute. Some water line shutoff valves are located offsite and require a special key to shut off. If you don’t know how to shut off your water line—or even where it is, for that matter—call a plumber. Don’t attempt to fix pipes that you think will bust at any moment.
Problem Returns
DIY plumbing repairs do work from time to time. However, these repairs may not provide the long-term solution the homeowner was looking for. A professional plumber provides solutions designed to last in all conditions and into the foreseeable future. So keep using that plunger!

Nowadays, there are special devices that can be used to suggest or even identify the exact point of blockage. Most of them work by way of producing radiations capable of penetrating opaque objects such as the ultraviolet light. Video sewer inspection is a technology being applied by many contractors to find out the structural condition of lateral structures.
