Homeowner guides
Plumbing guides worth reading first

What to Do When a Pipe Bursts or Breaks
Shut off the main water valve immediately, turn off electricity to any wet area, open a faucet at the lowest point to drain the lines, then call a plumber and photograph the damage for your insurer..
Learn more
Why Does My Drain Keep Clogging?
A drain that keeps clogging usually has buildup that was only partly cleared, or a defect in the pipe — roots, a sag, or a rough joint — that catches debris.
Learn more
When Should You Replace a Water Heater?
Replace a water heater when the tank itself leaks, when it's around 10 years or older and needs a major repair, or when rusty water and loud rumbling show the tank is deteriorating..
