KNOW THE NEXT STEP.\n\nA little help from your plumber.\n\n# DIY plumbing tips.\n\n Let’s see what you’ve got.\n\nThe toilet starts filling when nobody flushed. The disposal hums. You need the water off and don’t know which handle to turn.\n\nStart with a tip. See what to check, what the result means, and when the job needs a plumber.\n\n[Browse DIY tips ↓](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/diy-plumbing-tips/#tip-library>)[Stuck? Text us a photo ↗](<sms:+13857668935>)\n\n[Tyler Nerdin · Master plumber & chief editor ↗](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/tyler-nerdin/?agentnet=md>) 10 PUBLISHED TIPS · MORE AS WE POST THEM\n\nTHE DIY LIBRARY EVERY PUBLISHED TIP, IN ONE PLACE\n\n## What needs fixing? *Start with a tip.*\n\nOpen a post for the checks, the explanation and the next step. Search the whole collection or choose a topic.\n\n10 tips in the DIY library\n\n DIY TIP / 01\n\nLaundry Plumbing\n\n### [Water comes up out of the washing machine standpipe. Before you snake it, find out if the drain can breathe.](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/diy-washing-machine-drain-overflows/?agentnet=md>)\n\nA washing machine doesn't drain, it pumps, and a top-loader pushes up to 17 gallons a minute into a pipe that has to take every bit of it. Ten minutes with a five-gallon bucket tells you whether the line is actually blocked or just can't get air, and those two need opposite repairs.\n\n Read the tip ↗\n\n DIY TIP / 02\n\nWater Pressure / Pressure Regulator\n\n### [The pipes bang when the water shuts off. Check the pressure before you buy an arrestor.](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/diy-noisy-water-pipes/?agentnet=md>)\n\nBanging, humming, whistling and ticking are four different faults with four different repairs. A fifteen-dollar gauge on a hose bib tells you whether an arrestor will fix the banging or do nothing at all, and it takes two minutes.\n\n Read the tip ↗\n\nThe tub won't hold water. Almost everything that's wrong is behind two screws in the overflow plate. DIY TIP / 03\n\nShower / Tub Plumbing\n\n### [The tub won't hold water. Almost everything that's wrong is behind two screws in the overflow plate.](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/diy-tub-wont-hold-water/?agentnet=md>)\n\nSix different mechanisms all get called a tub stopper, and the repair is different for each one. Most of the time you never open a wall. And the hard part usually isn't the fix, it's getting the old one out.\n\n Read the tip ↗\n\nWater around the base of the toilet. It isn't always the wax ring. DIY TIP / 04\n\nToilet Repair\n\n### [Water around the base of the toilet. It isn't always the wax ring.](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/diy-water-around-toilet-base/?agentnet=md>)\n\nFive different faults put water on the floor by a toilet and they look identical once it spreads. Just over a third of people who replaced a part still had the leak, usually because the real problem was under the seal rather than the seal itself.\n\n Read the tip ↗\n\n DIY TIP / 05\n\nHose Bib / Outdoor Faucet\n\n### [The outdoor faucet is leaking. Where it leaks from decides the whole repair.](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/diy-outdoor-faucet-hose-bib-leaking/?agentnet=md>)\n\nThree separate faults all get called a leaking hose bib. The most common one is a ten dollar part that unscrews off the end of the spout. The worst one split your pipe last winter and you're only finding out now.\n\n Read the tip ↗\n\n DIY TIP / 06\n\nShower / Tub Plumbing\n\n### [The tub runs and the shower dribbles. Find your diverter first.](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/diy-tub-spout-diverter-not-working/?agentnet=md>)\n\nThe diverter is not one part. It sits in one of three places depending on how your shower was built, and the repair is different in each. Find yours before you buy anything.\n\n Read the tip ↗\n\nThe shower drips. Identify the valve before you buy the cartridge. DIY TIP / 07\n\nShower / Tub Plumbing\n\n### [The shower drips. Identify the valve before you buy the cartridge.](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/diy-shower-valve-cartridge-drip/?agentnet=md>)\n\nSix different faults all look like one drip, and the wrong cartridge fixes none of them. Figure out which one you have, identify your valve while the water is still on, and buy the part once.\n\n Read the tip ↗\n\nFind your main shutoff before you need it. The valve in the yard probably isn't it. DIY TIP / 08\n\nShutoff Valves\n\n### [Find your main shutoff before you need it. The valve in the yard probably isn't it.](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/diy-find-your-main-water-shutoff/?agentnet=md>)\n\nAlong the Wasatch Front the capped valve in your lawn is almost always the sprinkler shutoff, not the house shutoff. And the real one has a habit of leaking the first time it's turned in twenty years.\n\n Read the tip ↗\n\n DIY TIP / 09\n\nGarbage Disposal\n\n### [The disposal hums but won't turn. Switch it off before you try again.](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/diy-humming-garbage-disposal/?agentnet=md>)\n\nA hum means power is reaching a plate that can't move, and holding the switch cooks the motor. The reset button is free and most people skip it. And if it's leaking from the bottom, stop — that one isn't repairable.\n\n Read the tip ↗\n\nThe toilet refills by itself. The flapper is only half the story. DIY TIP / 10\n\nToilet Repair\n\n### [The toilet refills by itself.
