Synopsis: When something in the house breaks, most homeowners don’t need a lecture — they need an answer, fast. Ortho’s Home Repair Problem Solver skips the theory and goes straight to practical, step-by-step fixes for the everyday problems that come up around any home.
Nobody wants to read a full textbook to fix a dripping faucet. That’s the entire logic behind this Ortho guide — instead of chapters meant to be read start to finish, the book is organized around specific problems, so you can flip straight to “leaky faucet” or “tripped circuit” and get a clear answer without wading through material that doesn’t apply to your situation.
Written by Robert J. Beckstrom with Sally W. Smith, the book draws on Ortho’s long-standing reputation in home and garden reference publishing to cover the repairs that come up again and again — plumbing fixes, basic electrical troubleshooting, and exterior maintenance — explained in plain language with practical, step-by-step solutions rather than professional-grade construction theory.
Decades after its original printing, it remains a solid pick for homeowners, landlords, and DIY beginners who want a reliable first stop before calling in a professional — proof that a good reference book doesn’t need to be new to still be useful.
Notes:
- Content confirmed: Problem-based reference format — organized by specific issue rather than chapters to read cover-to-cover; covers common repair problems including plumbing (leaky faucets), electrical troubleshooting, and home exterior maintenance.
