Quick Plumbing Repairs

    Some plumbing repairs can be handled by the average homeowner no matter what your skill level. A dripping faucet usually means the washer needs replacing. Water dripping from the handle itself means the packing nut came loose or the packing material is worn out. A screwdriver and an adjustable wrench should be sufficient in solving these problems. A constantly running toilet could mean you have malfunctioning inlet valve or faulty float ball. The salesperson at your local hardware store should be able to give you the parts you need. A clogged sink is easily remedied by cleaning the trap below the drain.
