If your pipes bang when you turn on the water, you may need to add straps, cushion the pipes with a rubber blanket, or both.
 

Only hot water pipes squeak. As the pipe expands, it moves in its strap, and friction causes the squeak.

  Solution: Cushion it as you would a banging pipe.

 
Put a bit of food coloring in each toilet tank. Without flushing, watch for a few minutes to see if the color shows up in the bowl. It's not uncommon to lose up to 100 gallons a day from one of these otherwise invisible toilet leaks. And that's more than 30,000 gallons a year!
 
To improve the action of the plunger, before you use it, coat the edge of the plunger's cup with Vaseline (petroleum jelly). Also a few inches of water in the sink can improve suction.
