Fixing Leaky Faucets and Pipes
To fix a leaky faucet, start by turning off the water supply, disassembling the faucet, and replacing the worn-out parts. For leaky pipes, use a pipe wrench to tighten any loose fittings or replace damaged sections with new piping.
Repairing Drywall Damage
For small holes and cracks, use spackle or joint compound to fill in the damaged areas, then sand and paint over them. Larger holes may require a drywall patch kit and some additional finishing work.
Unclogging Drains and Toilets
To unclog a drain, try using a plunger or a drain snake to remove any blockages. For toilets, a plunger or a toilet auger can help dislodge stubborn clogs. Chemical drain cleaners should be used as a last resort.
Replacing Damaged Tiles or Flooring
To replace a damaged tile, carefully remove the grout around it, then pry up the tile and replace it with a new one. For damaged flooring, such as laminate or hardwood, carefully remove the damaged section and install new flooring in its place.
Painting and Touch-Ups
For minor scuffs and scratches on walls or furniture, use touch-up paint or wood filler to repair the damage. When painting a room, be sure to properly prepare the surfaces, use painter's tape, and apply multiple thin coats for a professional finish.
