HOW TO SWAP A SHOWER HEAD

Time for a new shower head? Maybe you already installed a new one, and the flow isn't very good? Watch an expert Legacy Plumber demonstrate how you can change out the shower head yourself and learn what a shower head flow restrictor does.

How to Clean A Clogged Aerator

Water / Sewer Static Test
