At my old bachelor pad house I needed to get all the way back to the kitchen on the opposite corner of the house from the access hole. OK, no major issue until I got to the central ac and heat duct work that was in the floor. I had to wiggle back, and bring a shovel to dig a trench under the ducts, and drag the plumbing gear back there to get to a plumbing issue with the kitchen sink. Digging in dirt while laying on your belly is a real chore.
I looked like the Charlie Brown character Pig-Pen when I got out from under the house. I had to hose off my coveralls in the yard before I would put them in the washer. Oh, and at some point in the past a racoon had been living under there so lots of racoon crap down there as a bonus.
I will stick to my slab foundation type house and never worry about crawling under a house ever again.
Good luck with your plumbing issues, I don't envy that at all.
