                            Eventually the pop-up stoppers in bathroom sinks will need to be repaired. They may become wrapped with hair or lose their seal. Any home owner with basic hand tools should be able to repair these simple stoppers. It only takes a couple of hours and a little cleaning and adjusting to fix them.

                            Maybe your long, hot shower isn't as long—or as hot—as it used to be. Maybe you've just installed a dishwasher. Or maybe your family has expanded and you're taking more baths and washing more clothes than ever before. 
It may be time to replace or upgrade your water heater. A moderately skilled homeowner should be able to complete this project in a few hours, but it's best to have a helper for

                            Pedestal sinks (also called lavatories or ped lavs) are great for creating an open look for smaller or half-baths. The look is stylish, yet affordable. They also take up much less space than a traditional sink and vanity. It's a good idea to have a helper for this project, since the sinks can be a little heavy, but two people should be able to install the sink in a day.

                            As the pool of water collects around the drain, you get a sinking feeling in your stomach. You dread another costly visit from the plumber.

                            Sump pumps are usually used to pump water from basements or crawl spaces. They are available in two basic configurations, submersible pumps that are sealed and can be totally submerged and pedestal pumps that have their pumps at the bottom of a stand and their motors elevated. When replacing a sump pump, it is generally advisable to use a pump of the same type, pumping capacity and configuration
