Unclogging Drains
Use a plunger or a drain snake to clear clogs in sinks, showers, and tubs. For tougher clogs, try using a mixture of baking soda and vinegar followed by hot water.
Fixing Leaky Faucets
Replace worn out washers or O-rings in the faucet to stop leaks. Make sure to turn off the water supply before starting the repair.
Repairing Drywall Holes
Patch small holes with spackle or joint compound, and use a drywall repair kit for larger holes. Sand and paint the area to finish the repair.
Replacing Damaged Tiles
Remove the damaged tile, apply new adhesive, and install the replacement tile. Grout the edges and clean the area for a seamless finish.
Fixing Squeaky Doors
Apply lubricant to the hinges or tighten the screws to eliminate squeaks. If the noise persists, consider replacing the hinges.
Repairing a Running Toilet
Adjust the flapper or float to stop water from continuously running into the toilet bowl. If necessary, replace these components to fix the issue.
Fixing a Stuck Window
Clean the window tracks and lubricate the moving parts to free a stuck window. Check for any damaged or misaligned components that may need repair.
Repairing a Broken Fence
Replace broken or rotted fence boards, and reinforce weak posts with concrete for added stability.
Painting Walls and Ceilings
Prepare the surface by filling in any holes or cracks, then apply primer before painting. Use even strokes for a professional-looking finish.
Replacing a Damaged Electrical Outlet
Turn off the power, remove the old outlet, and install a new one following proper wiring techniques. Test the outlet before turning the power back on.
