bathroom drain

I'm not a plumber but I took a lot of photos with measurements! I'm in an old house and this fix just needs to be somewhat temporary since we plan on eventually replacing and remodeling fixtures (will hire professionals for that!). I disassembled the bathroom sink stopper so that I could clean...

This one has me stumped! Anytime the basement bathroom toilet is flushed or the basement bathroom shower is used, water backs up in my hot water drain pan. I assumed this is because of an obstruction past the tub and shower and the hot water heater drain pain pipe is the point of least...

Hi everyone, This is my first post here and I hope I can get an answer to my project question. I need to install a bathroom addition to an existing room in the home and when I'm going to run the sewer line it will enter the bath addition almost in the corner of the room. I'm not a plumber but I...

So, about 1 month ago my bathtub suddenly started draining very slowly. The only "event" that seemed unique was a few days earlier my partner soaked her new moss pole, so a little bit of dead moss probably went down the drain. My house was built in the mid-eighties, all original plumbing as far...

Hi, everyone! I'm a new homeowner and this is my first time on the forum so please forgive any and all stupid questions. Recently my wife and I have noticed this tick/almost hollow burping sound after showering. We also routinely notice the click/click/click/click of what sounds like the pipes...

I’m installing a pop drain in my new vanity. It is a farm sink with no overflow. My issue is I can not install a regular drain the back splash is to close to faucet for a lever. I purchased a moen pop up drain but the threads are to far down the pop up drain to tighten to sink. Does anyone have...

I'm in the middle of replacing a faucet kit that my friend bought for her very old home. I want to replace the sink drain that came with the new Moen faucet kit. After some turning and twisting, I have loosened the old one but still can't disconnect it. I have loosened the seal which you see...

I am trying to install a double sink vanity in our master bath remodel. However, when I exposed the pipes to plan my plumbing I ran into a dilemma. How do I tie double sink plumbing into my current plumbing. The issue I have is trying to properly vent and drain the system. In the second photo...

Hello gurus, I am planning to renovate my master bath and I need some help with planning the plumbing. Here's my existing bathroom: The empty room is currently a walk-in closet. The bathroom is located on the second floor above a closet. I had ceiling partially removed in that closet some...

My parents moved into a 55 & over recently and their renovated bathroom sink is draining very poorly. Looks like the drain is either pitched back or it’s the way it flows. Attached are pictures of the sink draining, which takes about 2 minutes to fully drain after washing your hands, and the...

Hi All - I am trying to replace our bathroom drain piping (total beginner) but not sure how to remove this last piece of pipe that connects to the wall pipe (see pictures). The piping in the walls is probably about 20-25 years old and looks to be PVC (not sure). In any case, I don't know how to...

I have a bathroom sink that's leaking from the overflow drain. It's old? Installed 20 yrs ago by the plumber from hell. The overflow is NOT built-in. It somehow goes from the overflow opening in the sink to a opening on the sink drain via a vinyl plastic tube. It is attached at the drain by zip...

I just recently bought a house and have had a ton of plumbing issues. This new one is a leak under the bathroom sink. I figured it would be easy enough to fix. However, it appears the reason it was leaking is because the drain (sorry I don’t know the terms) that attaches to the sink was slightly...

Good morning, I installed a new bathroom vanity, and I had to replace the old trap. I wanted to install a pipe with a nut at the wall that would permit me to disconnect it without having to cut and cement it. My local plumbing supply advised that I install a union trap and cement a sleeve at...
