[CLASSIC HOMEOWNER WORKSHOP]

Know Your Home Before Something Goes Wrong.

A practical plumbing workshop for Knoxville-area homeowners. No sales presentation — just useful skills, real plumbing examples, and straightforward answers about the systems in your home.

Workshop dates and locations will be announced as they are scheduled. Interest requests help us plan future sessions.

[WHAT WE'D COVER]

The plumbing things every homeowner should know.

The exact workshop can change depending on the audience, but the goal is always the same: help homeowners recognize problems earlier, handle the safe basics confidently, and know when a professional should take over.

Know Your Shutoffs

Find the main water shutoff, fixture shutoffs, and what to do first when water is actively leaking.

Water Pressure Basics

What normal pressure looks like, how a hose-bibb gauge works, and why excessive pressure can create recurring plumbing problems.

Toilet Troubleshooting

Fill valves, flappers, chains, silent leaks, dye testing, and the simple checks homeowners can safely do.

Water Heater Basics

Tank vs. tankless, age and warning signs, temperature, flushing/descaling, leak clues, and when to stop troubleshooting.

Leaks, Drains & What Not to Do

How to spot hidden-leak clues, what slow drains may mean, and why some quick fixes can make a bigger problem.

Seasonal Plumbing Prep

Hose bibbs, faucet covers, exposed piping, winterization, spring startup checks, and freeze-response basics.

Homeowner workshop checklist

The online Homeowner Academy works alongside the workshop, so people can revisit diagrams, seasonal checklists, troubleshooting tools, and the AI Plumber later.

The workshop is educational and does not replace an on-site plumbing inspection or manufacturer instructions. We focus on safe homeowner awareness and simple checks — not encouraging people to take apart plumbing systems that should be handled by a licensed professional.
