About this course

Most household plumbing failures are small, predictable, and fixable without a licensed plumber if you understand how the system works and respect a few rules about water, pressure, and code. This course takes a beginner from locating the main shut-off to confidently rebuilding a dripping faucet, replacing a corroded angle stop, clearing a slow or blocked drain, and swapping out a toilet, while teaching the supply and drain-waste-vent systems that tie everything together. You finish able to diagnose common leaks, choose between soldered copper, push-fit, and PEX connections, and complete each repair cleanly, safely, and to a standard that holds.
