DIY plumbing can save you some cash, but only if you're careful. Start small, like fixing drippy faucets or installing new fixtures. But if you're dealing with serious issues like burst pipes or sewage backups, don't hesitate to call in a professional plumber. It's crucial to know your limits and prioritize safety over savings.
