Plumbers have the necessary tools, training and experience. For me, running the risk of the damage a flood in your home would cause isn’t worth the modest savings of DIY. Particularly if you don’t have the necessary tools or experience.
In the case that a flood occurs, do you know where your whole house water shut-off valve is located? Is it readily accessible? An open water pipe at line pressure puts out a huge amount of water each minute.
