From the water heater to the sewer line.
How do I know the sump pump will work when I need it?
Test it rather than trusting it, because a sump pump sits idle for months and then has one job. Pour a bucket of water into the pit slowly and watch: the float should rise, the pump should start, the water should drop, and it should shut off cleanly without chattering. Do that in early spring and again before winter. The two failures worth planning for are a stuck float, which is cheap, and a power cut during the storm that needed the pump, which is what battery backup exists for.
Is a tankless water heater worth it?
It depends on the house more than on the technology. Tankless gives you hot water that does not run out and takes up far less room, and it lasts longer than a tank. Against that, it usually needs a larger gas line and different venting, so the install is a bigger job than a straight tank swap. It also wants descaling on a schedule in water as hard as ours, and skipping that is how people end up disappointed. If you are replacing in an emergency with no hot water in the house, a tank is usually the faster answer.
The water pressure has dropped. Where do I start?
First work out whether it is the whole house or one fixture, because that splits the problem in half. One fixture is almost always an aerator or a cartridge, and both are small jobs. Whole house points at the pressure regulator, a partly closed main valve, or galvanized supply pipe that has corroded closed from the inside over decades. That last one is common in pre-war houses and it is progressive, so pressure that has been slowly falling for years is telling you something different from pressure that dropped last week.
A toilet that runs on and off by itself. Serious?
It is called phantom flushing and it means water is escaping from the tank into the bowl, so the fill valve keeps topping it up. The culprit is nearly always the flapper, which hardens with age and stops sealing, and it is one of the cheapest parts in the house. It is worth fixing quickly rather than living with, because it runs continuously and quietly, and a running toilet shows up on the water bill at a scale that surprises people who assumed it was just a noise.
