I agree with motox. Go to Home Depot and ask them lots of questions. Then go to Ace Hardware and ask them more questions. Of course, you want to talk to the guy that's done it before and used the products he's recommending. Then you should have an idea about what you think will work.
Take lots of pictures of the "problem" and take those with you when you talk to the guys at the hardware store. Many times I've walked into the store with tens of pictures on my crappy little cell phone camera that have helped immeasurably to explain a situation — especially one where I don't know the correct terminology.

Well Juan, get after it. Let us all know when you come up with a specific question for us to address.

Yep, Jeffery's right. You're going to have to be much more specific about what type of plumbing you're looking at doing, what type of piping, what fixture, faucet, drain, water heater, etc,. Then maybe we can help.

go to the library or buy handyman books and a big box of tools,, save money for more tools cause you will need more than you think,,, find an old abandoned house and practise,, a lot,, and even more,, then try it on your won home,,,, then hire someone,, because it takes years to learn ,,,,,,,thats why there are so many bad plumbers today,, not enough practise,,,
