However, many people know very little about their home plumbing system and so they call a plumber whenever problems arise. While many plumbing predicaments require the expertise of a professional, others are simple enough to fix yourself. Repairing your own plumbing can save you money - provided you know what you are doing. Your plumbing system is composed of two sets of pipes. One set carries waste material into sewer lines or septic systems. This operates by gravity. The other use water pressure to drive fresh water into your sink, bathtub or toilet. Before making repairs, always remember to turn off the water at the main valve, It's a good idea to locate the main value now -- before there is a problem. It "should be near the water heater or water meter. A common problem is a leaky faucet. It most likely is the result of a worn out washer, you have to remove the handle of the faucet. Take out the screw that holds the handle in position and pry it off with a screwdriver. Tape or a ban- dage wrapped around the tip of the screwdriver will prevent scratches to the finish. Pry all around the base of the handle. Working in only one place could bend the housing. Loosen and remove the cap that holds the stem in place. The stem should now twist out. There are washers in the cap and on the end of the stem. Replace the ones that appear worn out. The washer on the end of the stem is held on by a tiny screw. It must be removed to change washers. Before reassembly, clean corrosion off with steel wood or a scouring pad. Faucets with hot and cold water on the same handle do not have traditional washers but they have similar rubber rings that wear out and can cause leaks. Clogged drains can also Turn to Page 6
