Stop Hiring Out These 10 Home Repairs

Fix a Plumbing Leak

Save the cost of a plumber’s house call by fixing minor leaks yourself. Leaks in a supply line tend to be continuous while drain line leaks are usually intermittent. For a leaky shutoff valve, a wrench should be all you need. If the leak is along a water pipe, replace the leaky section. For a temporary fix, use repair putty. Leaking drain pipes can also be patched, but it’s better to replace the bad section using no-hub shielded couplings.

Here are 12 things your plumber wants you to know.
