Fixing a Compression Faucet - Compression faucets are one of the most common types of faucets. Two-handled faucets are usually compression types. Replacing Worn Valve Seats - When you close a compression faucet, the rubber stem washer presses against the inside of the valve to cut off the water. Resurfacing Valve Seats - When you close a compression faucet, the rubber stem washer presses against the inside of the valve to cut off the water. Fixing Ball-Type Faucets - Single-lever ball-type faucets are common on kitchen sinks. Fixing Cartridge Faucets - Cartridge faucets often are the single-lever faucets you'll find on kitchen sinks. Making Minor Adjustments - Toilets get used a lot, and sometimes they simply get out of adjustment. If your toilet is gurgling and seems to be losing water unnecessarily, try some minor adjustments before replacing any parts. Fixing a Leaky Floatcup Assembly - A floatcup assembly is the part of your toilet that seals the opening between the tank and the toilet bowl. Installing a New Flush Valve - The flush valve, located in the middle of the toilet, includes the overflow tube and the hole where water enters the bowl when the toilet is flushed – the hole that's covered by the rubber tank ball or flapper. Removing Old Faucets - Removing an old faucet isn't difficult, but you'll have to spend some time on your back under the sink. Installing A New Faucet - Installing a new faucet is a simple project and a great way to upgrade the look of your kitchen or bathroom. Connecting Faucets with Supply Tubes - Some new faucets come with copper supply tubes pre-attached to the body of the faucet. Replacing a Sink Sprayer - A sink sprayer adds functionality to your sink. They're easy to attach, but you'll need a sink with a hole intended for a sink sprayer. As with any plumbing part, you'll be better off in the long run if you choose a quality sprayer from a well-known manufacturer. Removing a Toilet - You'll remove your toilet in two stages: first the tank, then the bowl. Clearing Sink Drains with a Plunger - Sinks get clogged and backed up when soap, hair, and grease build up and clog the trap or the drain line. Fixing Leaky Sink Strainers - The sink strainer assembly connects the sink to the drain line. Unclogging a Sink Drain Trap - One of the most common household plumbing problems is a clogged sink drain trap. Clearing a Fixture Drain Line - If your sink is backed up but the clog isn't in the trap, it's probably further in the drain system – in the drain lines inside your walls. Replacing Drain Traps - Drain traps – those U-shape pieces of drain pipe underneath your sink – do a lot of dirty work. Cleaning a Sink Stopper (Pop-Up) - Sink stoppers close off the drain hole in your sink so you can fill it with water. Cleaning a Plunger Tub Drain - To fix a tub that doesn't drain properly, first identify what type of drain you have. Unclogging Shower Drains - If your shower isn't draining easily, it usually means there's a hair clog somewhere in the shower drain line. Unclogging Toilet Drains - A clogged toilet is one of the most common household plumbing problems. If your toilet overflows or flushes poorly, try clearing it with a plunger. Cleaning a Pop-Up Tub Drain - To fix a tub that doesn't drain properly, first identify what type of drain you have. Installing A Plunger-Valve Ballcock - A ballcock basically is a toilet's only mechanical part. It has a number of moving components that can wear out or break. Installing a Toilet - You'll install a new toilet in two steps – first, the bowl, then the tank. The most difficult part of the installation will be putting the bowl in place.
