Handy Ma'am Hotline

Water Pressure, Peeling Paint, and Landlords Charging for Fixes


Listen Later

This week on Handy Ma'am Hotline, Mercury helps answer questions about low water pressure after changing out a shower handle, layers and layers and layers of paint peeling off a bathroom wall, fixing a wonky front door that won't latch properly, landlords charging for fixes in the unit (should they or shouldn't they?), and fixing a toilet that is leaking but the caller can't get the nuts tightened to fix it!
