How to Troubleshoot, Fix & Repair Your Home Plumbing Yourself. A dripping faucet. A toilet that won't stop running. A sink that drains slower every week. Low water pressure. A mysterious puddle under the kitchen cabinet. A pipe that suddenly starts leaking. When something goes wrong with the plumbing in your home, your first thought may be:. "How much is this going to cost me. ". But before you call a plumber-or start taking everything apart-there is something more important to do:. Figure out what is actually wrong. How to Troubleshoot, Fix & Repair Your Home Plumbing Yourself. is a practical, plain-English guide designed to help ordinary homeowners understand common plumbing problems, identify where those problems are coming from, make appropriate basic repairs, and recognize when a job has crossed the line into professional territory. This is not a professional plumber's textbook. You won't find complicated engineering formulas or pages of technical jargon. Instead, you'll learn a straightforward approach to troubleshooting that can help you make better decisions when something goes wrong:. LOOK FIRST. TEST SECOND. THEN, AND ONLY THEN, TOUCH. That philosophy runs throughout the book. Rather than immediately replacing a part because someone online said it was probably bad, you'll learn how to look at the symptoms, determine whether the problem affects one fixture or the entire house, locate the likely source, and decide what to do next. START WITH THE PROBLEM-NOT THE REPAIR. A plumbing problem doesn't always originate where you see the water. A puddle underneath a sink might come from a supply connection, drain fitting, faucet, or valve. A water stain on a ceiling doesn't necessarily mean the plumbing directly above it is leaking. A toilet that runs continuously could have a problem with a flapper, fill valve, seal, or another component. A slow drain might be a localized blockage-or it might be a symptom of a larger drainage problem. The book teaches you to investigate before you start replacing parts. You'll learn how to ask the questions that can narrow down the problem:. What changed. When did it start. Is it one fixture or the entire house. Where is the water actually coming from. Is the problem constant or intermittent. Is there a safety hazard involved. Those simple questions can prevent a lot of unnecessary work. LEARN THE PLUMBING BASICS. You don't need to become a professional plumber to understand the basic plumbing system in your home. This book explains the purpose of supply pipes, drain pipes, traps, vents, fixtures, shutoff valves, and other common components in straightforward language. You'll also learn one of the most important things every homeowner should know before a plumbing emergency happens:. Where is my home's main water shutoff. Knowing how to stop the water can turn a potentially devastating leak into a manageable repair. TROUBLESHOOT COMMON HOUSEHOLD PROBLEMS. The book covers many of the plumbing problems homeowners encounter, including:. Leaking faucets. Running toilets. Toilet leaks. Clogged toilets. Slow drains. Clogged sinks. Shower and bathtub problems. Low water pressure. High water pressure. Leaking supply lines. Shutoff-valve problems. Outdoor faucets and hose bibs. Garbage disposals. Frozen pipes. Burst pipes. Hidden leaks. Water stains. Sewer odors. Plumbing noises. Corrosion and aging pipes. Sump-pump problems.
