It’s difficult to overstate the vital role plumbing plays in our everyday well-being. Modern plumbing, after all, carries all the water that enters and exits your home.

LakewoodAlive will host “Knowing Your Home: Plumbing 101” on Thursday, September 14, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Turkish Cultural Center (13303 Madison Avenue in Lakewood). The 13th workshop of 2017 for this popular home maintenance educational program represents our inaugural plumbing workshop.
