Introduction

This is a tutorial on repairing leaking water pipes. Many houses are facing the problem of aging water pipes. If the water leak occurs in the middle of the night and a repairman cannot be found in time, we need to solve it by ourselves. This tutorial can help you replace the faucet head of an outdoor fixture. Be sure to turn off the water main during the repair to minimize leakage.
