In the example sentence, Cindy found the real reason (the bill not being paid) for the problem (heat being turned off). "Get to the bottom of something" means to discover the real cause. "To take a big risk" is about risking something, and "to climb down into something" is a literal climbing action which doesn't fit the context.
