Unclogging drains
To unclog drains, start by using a plunger to create suction and dislodge the blockage. If that doesn't work, try using a drain snake to physically remove the clog.
Fixing leaky faucets
To fix a leaky faucet, start by turning off the water supply to the faucet. Then, disassemble the faucet and replace the worn-out parts such as the O-rings or washers.
Repairing drywall holes
To repair drywall holes, start by cleaning the area around the hole and filling it with spackle. Once the spackle is dry, sand it down and paint over it to match the surrounding wall.
Replacing damaged tiles
To replace damaged tiles, start by removing the grout around the damaged tile. Then, carefully remove the tile and replace it with a new one, securing it with fresh grout.
Fixing squeaky floors
To fix squeaky floors, use a stud finder to locate the floor joists and then secure the subfloor to the joists using screws.
Repairing damaged window screens
To repair damaged window screens, start by removing the screen from the window frame. Then, patch any holes or tears using a screen repair kit.
Fixing a running toilet
To fix a running toilet, start by checking the flapper and the fill valve for any signs of wear or damage. Replace any worn-out parts to stop the toilet from running.
Replacing a broken light switch
To replace a broken light switch, start by turning off the power to the switch at the circuit breaker. Then, remove the old switch and install a new one following the manufacturer's instructions.
Repairing a stuck or noisy door
To repair a stuck or noisy door, start by lubricating the hinges and the latch mechanism. If the door still sticks, you may need to adjust the hinges or sand down the door edges.
Fixing a leaky roof
To fix a leaky roof, start by locating the source of the leak and patching it with roofing cement or a patch kit. If the damage is extensive, it's best to call a professional roofer.
