CLASS DESCRIPTION 

Leaky faucets, running toilets, dripping drains... these things happen all the time and can waste water, waste money, and cause damage. Learn how to identify and fix common plumbing problems without having to hire a plumber. 

Whether you're a homeowner, renter, or remodeler, come learn some great DIY ins-and-outs that will add skills to your tool belt, save water, and save you money! 

Water-saving kits for each student are generously provided by the Portland Water Bureau

This is a skills-based class where you will learn how to use tools and make repairs, but you will not build a project to take home.

  • How to use several water conservation devices

  • Bathroom faucets and supply lines

  • Simple ways to clear drain clogs

  • How to change a showerhead

  • Toilet basics (for more in-depth info on toilets, check out our Toilet Repair and Replacement class)

  • How to take advantage of rebates and incentives from Portland Water Bureau

Skill level: This class is ideal for beginners ages 18 and over as well as 16 and 17 year-olds with parent or guardian permission.

Class Schedule: Class will run for 2.5 hours and no breaks are planned.
