THE ESSENTIAL PLUMBING REPAIRS EVERY HOMEOWNER SHOULD KNOW
PLUMBING
REPAIR BASICS
This hands-on workshop helps homeowners build practical plumbing repair skills using real fixtures and professional-grade tools.
Through instructor demonstrations and supervised practice, you’ll learn how to replace toilet wax rings, toilet tank components, faucet stems, sink aerators, mixing valve cartridges, and tub spouts. You’ll also see live demonstrations of toilet shut-off valve replacement and modern ProPress® fitting installation.
Along the way, you’ll gain a better understanding of how your home’s plumbing system works and how to approach common repairs with greater confidence.
Whether you want to save on home maintenance or simply become a more capable homeowner, you’ll leave with practical, real-world skills you can use again and again.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
PLUMBING SKILLS
THAT PAY OFF.
Plumbing service calls can cost hundreds of dollars before the repair even begins. Learning how to handle common fixes yourself and knowing when to call a professional can help you avoid unnecessary costs, catch problems early, and save significantly over time.
PARTICIPATION
This is an active, hands-on workshop that may include standing, bending, kneeling, lifting, and working with tools and materials. If you have any mobility concerns or may need an accommodation, please reach out before registering so we can help you prepare.
