Great DIY book.
This is a great book. Finishing my tiny house it is being delivered in October. However it just comes as a shell only. I have to finish the interior and this book is a life saver. Detailed and graphic, it’s going to help plumb my house. Wish it had more details on how to connect my tiny house to septic and vice versa.

Very heavy, weight
I am elderly and still doing a lot of my smaller "fix-it" jobs. The book is good in its illustrations and explanations but it is hard to carry from each worksite in the house.

Really good book on plumbing basics.
I was pleasantly surprised with this book. I'm a commercial plumbing apprentice and I never get to touch residential plumbing. So I bought this to learn from. Every page is littered with helpful pictures and captions. This book makes the trade look easy. I can assure you it's not haha. Remember that every state has it's own plumbing codes though not everything can be done in this book in every state... Overall though they hit the nail on the head. Whether you're learning how to plumb or you're just a do it yourselfer you can't go wrong with this book. Especially for the price. Most decent plumbing books are crazy expensive! I'm Very satisfied with this purchase!

Surprisingly thorough
You may be vacillating on purchasing this. Is this a bunch of easy bandaid fixes for common problems? Not at all. About 90% of what a plumber does is included in this book. As a basic overview, it is much better than most trade school books on plumbing. The only thing you will lack are the technical sheets covering flush units, pipe grade and the like

Don't have to hire a plumber
We are in the process of flipping a home that has a lot of plumbing issues. This book is a wealth of information and covers a range of topics. With the book, we are able to make the million plumbing corrections on our own without paying a plumber. Saves us a lot of money.

Clear advice, great pictures, but wish there was more theory
I actually like this book, the pictures are clear and the various tools and fittings which can be bewildering are explained concisely. However, I wish that before each project there was a section devoted to the theory of why things are done a certain way. Understanding vents, and traps for example really does help when taking apart the bathroom sink to fix clogs. Maybe a chapter at the front of the book explaining various household plumbing systems would give people context when attempting home repairs. If it was a separate chapter it could be easily skipped if readers just wanted the information to fix the problem.
