That Fix It GuyAir Force–trained plumber

Brian learned plumbing in the U.S. Air Force and has plumbed his way around the world. Now he films the fixes homeowners actually face: slow toilets, dripping faucets, clogged drains, failing water heaters and disposals. He shows what broke, why it broke, and how to fix it for a fraction of the cost of replacing it. He's particular about the right part, too: no snappy traps, no chemical drain cleaners. His rule: if he can do it, you can do it.
