People often find that they do not want to tackle common Plumbing problems for fear of creating a disaster. Water can do severe damage to a house in no time at all, which may be why plumber stay busy year round. Yet many problems can benefit from a simple home plumbing repair, without the expense of calling for plumbing help from an expert. Another reason many choose not to tackle this household job is that plumbing repairs can be very frustrating. Have you ever tried to fix something in your home only to find that the part you need is not available locally? This frequently happens when your home has older plumbing fixtures. But don't let any of this stop you. 

If you have just a minor problem, you can fix it in very little time. And the satisfaction of a home maintenance / repair job well done cannot be matched. A toilet that runs non-stop is very Annoying. Yet, for some reason, many home owners don't know how to stop the problem once and for all. We have all heard that jiggling the handle will stop water from running, but that is only a temporary solution. Even more annoying than a running toilet is a dripping faucet, especially if the faucet is located in your kitchen or other main living area. 

The cause of the drip or leak is most likely a washer that has worn out over time from frequent use. Low water pressure is almost as annoying as no water at all, yet a fix for this problem is very simple. Usually, you will just need to replace the aerator or cap at the end of the faucet spout. This fixture becomes clogged for a number of reasons, and all that you need to do is unscrew the aerator and replace it. Nothing could be simpler.
