I had a "shade-tree" plumber do some work on my bathroom faucets and now my faucets are still leaking into the basement, I'm having trouble washing because only my hot water works with the washer now, and i have a stopped up commode prior to the horrible plumbing job.

Plumbing Repair
Everyone knows that sinking feeling you get as you watch a toilet bowl begin to overflow, or your shower drain spouting out water instead of draining it. Plumbing repair problems are enough to send the most placid home owner into a panic. Here are a few tips to conduct emergency plumbing repairs yourself as you wait for the plumber to arrive. The most common home plumbing repair problems have to do with faucet repair. For basic bathroom faucet repair, first turn off the water supply to the faucet, and unscrew the main faucet. Remember to place the components as you remove them in an ordered fashion, so you can place these in the right order when you assemble the faucet back again. If any parts are damaged, get these replaced by taking the removed part to the store so you can get a perfect match.
To clear a clogged sink, use your trusty plunger to clear the blockage. Plungers are actually very effective and handy home plumbing repair tools, but most people use them improperly. The goal is to create as much suction as possible to remove the obstruction. Some of the most common repairs involved in bathroom plumbing are unclogging shower drains. First, remove the cover of your drain, and using your flashlight look for any visible signs of obstruction. If you see something, take a straightened wire coat hanger, and use the hook to fish out the clog. If the hanger doesn't work, use a small plunger, and if this doesn't work either, use a plumber's snake. Simply insert the snake down the drain until you reach the clog. Turn the handle clockwise to enable the hook to grab the blockage, and pull it out.
