Can I fix plumbing problems myself using these guides?
Some of them, yes. Cleaning an aerator, pulling a sink trap, replacing a toilet flapper and running the meter check are all reasonable homeowner tasks. Anything involving gas, the water heater, the main supply line or the sewer belongs to a licensed provider.
