I am a pretty good DIY plumber and an okay DIY electrician. However, in every home where I had to do the work always had a basement or crawl space. I am getting ready to buy a house without either and my question is:

How do you access the plumbing and electrical if you can’t get to it from the basement. I know it’s in the walls and I will probably have to cut sheet rock to get to it. But I guess what I’m really asking is how do you detect where the exact problem is? Whether it be a leaky pipe or running an extra outlet.

I guess I will have to access wiring from the attic but still not sure about plumbing.

Thanks.
