About the Plumbing 101 workshop
This workshop will explore the basics functions of water-related plumbing within a typical home. Participants will walk around our Casa Colina house to explore and discuss plumbing components such as supply lines, drains, vents, sewers, and their connections at fixtures such as sinks, toilets, and bathtubs. Discussion will focus on fundamentals of plumbing functionality, basic maintenance tips, and how to tell when a plumbing issue is DIY-friendly or requires a professional. The workshop will end with several hands-on activities: installing a faucet, replacing a P-trap, replacing a basket strainer, installing live water lines, and replacing a toilet.
Lead Poisoning Hazard Disclaimer: All home renovation work can create a significant lead hazard if completed in a pre-1978 home. DIYD will provide Lead Poisoning Prevention resources to any workshop attendee living in a pre-1978 home. DIYD also hosts a lead safety class twice a year - we highly recommend that you sign up for the lead safety class before you complete these projects in your home if your home was built before 1978 and you have young children living in your home.
