Need a pro for this?

What we'll ask you first
  1. Is water actively leaking right now?
  2. How old is the water heater?
  3. Is the water shut off?

Have these ready and the call takes two minutes.

Do it yourself

Rather do it yourself?

Clear a slow bathroom drain

Steps
  1. Remove the stopper and pull hair out with a plastic drain tool.
  2. Run hot water for a minute.
  3. If still slow, use a hand snake: feed it in, turn, pull back.
  4. Skip chemical drain cleaners; they damage older pipes.

Fix a running toilet

Steps
  1. Lift the tank lid and watch: if water runs into the overflow tube, the fill valve is set too high.
  2. If the flapper doesn't seal, replace it (universal size fits most).
  3. Shut the supply valve, flush, swap the part, turn the water back on.
