There’s nothing to see here

Even if you have no knowledge of the plumbing system in your home, a plumber should give you guidance on the problem. “If your plumber makes recommendations without physically providing you with evidence of a problem, they may be using dishonest tactics,” said Max Rose, owner of Four Seasons Plumbing in Asheville, North Carolina. This includes the hard to reach places like the attic or the crawl space; A plumber should show you pictures if you can’t see anything yourself. “When the plumber gives you the overview, get a second opinion from a reputable plumber in your area,” advises Rose. Never pour these things down the drain and you could save yourself from an expensive service call.
