Hiring a plumber for common household repairs can be expensive, however, in this hands-on workshop, you’ll gain the skills and confidence to tackle them safely and effectively on your own.
No prior experience is required — this workshop includes live demonstrations and supervised hands-on practice.
This class walks you step-by-step through real-world plumbing repairs using actual fixtures and tools. You’ll practice essential maintenance tasks that every homeowner should know, plus watch live demonstrations of advanced techniques.
You’ll learn to:
✅Replace a toilet wax ring
✅Replace internal components of a toilet tank
✅Replace hot and cold faucet stems
✅Replace a faucet aerator
✅Replace a mixing valve cartridge and shower/tub downspout
Demonstrations:
How to replace a toilet shut-off valve: Learn when and how to shut off water during repairs.
How to install Pro Press fittings: Discover how modern plumbers use Pro Press fittings to create secure, leak-free connections without soldering.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll be able to:
- Stop leaks under the base of the toilet by properly removing, reseating, and sealing it for a watertight fit.
- Replace fill valves, flappers, and other internal parts that cause running or noisy toilets.
- Fix dripping faucets by removing and replacing worn-out hot and cold stems.
