Turn off the water supply, replace worn-out washers or seals, and reassemble the faucet to stop drips.

Fixing a Leaky Faucet

Use a plunger or a drain snake to clear blockages in sinks or showers; for tougher clogs, a baking soda and vinegar solution can help.

Unclogging Drains

Use spackle or wall filler to fill in small holes or dents; sand smooth once dry and repaint for a seamless finish.

Patching Holes in Walls

Ensure the power is off, remove the old bulb, and screw in a new one that matches the fixture's wattage and type.

Replacing Light Bulbs

Apply a lubricant like WD-40 to the hinges, or tighten loose screws to eliminate the noise.
