Library Journal Review

Author & DIY expert Cory (Building Kitchen Cabinets and Bathroom Vanities) skillfully walks homeowners through common home plumbing problems, including an overview of home plumbing systems and troubleshooting issues. After an introduction to tools and materials, projects start with clogs and move through flow issues, changing out fixtures, and upgrading appliances. Each project is augmented with excellent step-by-step illustrations. This book compares well with Black & Decker The Complete Guide to Plumbing, 6th ed. VERDICT Solid, basic coverage of home plumbing with simple fixes and upgrades. Highly recommended for homeowners. © Copyright 2016.
