Plumbing Guides

The things worth knowing before the day you need them.

Plumbing knowledge is almost entirely useless right up until the moment it is the only thing that matters. Nobody looks for a shut-off valve on a calm Tuesday. They look for it at eleven at night with water coming through a ceiling, which is the worst possible time to be learning where anything is.

These guides cover the parts of plumbing that reward knowing in advance: where your valves are and how they work, what Utah's hard water quietly does to fixtures and water heaters over the years, and the specific winter conditions that turn a pipe into a repair.
