Only licensed personnel should touch anything to do with plumbing and electric in Indiana. Handymen aka Jacklegs may not have proper insurance due to lack of licensing. They surely have not proven to the authorities that they have the skill or they'd be licensed. They should stick to painting and hanging doors.
