Hello all, I'm a blog writer for Home Gnome and I'm doing a series of article on re-glazing bathtubs and had a few questions. If you're able to answer them, please leave your name and your company so I can properly credit you for your answer in the articles. I appreciate your time. 1. What is...

Bought a house built in 1955. It had 3 small bedrooms upstairs and 1 full community bathroom, so decided to make a master suite using one of bedrooms and converting it into a walk-in closet and bathroom. Working on the plumbing for it. Toilet, tile shower and double vanity. I’m pretty handy, but...

Can you tell me what I need to install this? Will need to know where to cut, fittings, etc. easiest and cheapest way possible with the limited space I have. Ordered the Aquasure 32,000 with prefilter.

Hello everyone, I am doing a remodel and have tied my new bath drain into a conveniently placed existing vent. Based on my research I thought it would be okay in this circumstance but am now questioning the setup and looking for a second or third opinion. The new bath drain ties into the...

How does this layout look? I have a very small amount of height to work with and I'm trying to retain the main 3" abs pipe's slope. Also the setup is ending up kind of backwards with the toilet at the start of the plumbing run instead of the end. . Unlabeled drawing is an elevation view of...

I replaced the fill solenoid valves on our washing machine and while I was at it decided to replace the old rubber hose with the newer style with stainless steel mesh on the outside to reinforce it and prevent it from bursting. The old hoses were probably around twenty years old or more. The...

howdy, Looking for some help with a question regarding toilet flanges and wax rings. I have a stainless steel toilet flange ring flush with my floor with an inset pvc glue in portion. The only issue is the pvc inset is not flush with the steel toilet flange. It is 3/4 inch above the finished...

Hi all, My wife and I built our home in 2017. The builder installed 5 Delta faucets model 2594-mpu-dst in 3 bathrooms. About a month ago we noticed we had leaks under 3 of the 5 faucets. There is some minor water damage to the cabinet but nothing I'm going to worry about. I did some searching...

Help me add a utility sink to my laundry room and garage. These are pictures of what I have in my laundry room. Just behind this drain and water lines is my garage, which I would like to add a sink as well. Any suggestions as to how I should go about plumbing for this as a DIY?

Homeowner here, I'm NOT a plumber, but I was hoping I could find someone on a forum to help me as I've had high success rates in the past with this. Please see attached pictures. So one morning I was taking a shower, and the handle straight up snapped off. This is what I am left with. I could...

I have an older house with older plumbing. My washer discharges into a floor drain, and about every 4 months or so, it clogs. I would like to replace it with a new floor drain with bigger opening in the grate, but I am having trouble finding the right one. It looks like this one may fit...

Hi everyone, I moved into a newly renovated home about a year ago. One of the renovations was that they put a glacier bay dual flush toilet in the half bath. It is about a year and a half old. However, the toilet runs constantly. This ONLY happens if the lid is on the toilet. If I leave my lid...

I am working on an outdoor shower to put on top of my van, but I spent hours at home depot trying to find the right hardware to fit things together. I am a complete newb, so any advice on finding the right parts is much appreciated. Here is my kindergarten cartoon of the idea: The tube on top...

My husband and I have a home built in 1979 that we are renovating piece by piece. We would like to replace the tub shower fixtures, but need to ID what updated version we need to purchase. Can anyone offer guidance?

Hello everyone, My name is Alex and I am planning on replacing my leaking vertical oil tank (275 gallons) myself. I have planned out the entire project, however, there is one part that is causing me problems. In order to remain in my plumbing area or ability I am planning on using the existing...

I recently finished a tiny house build (my dad and I did most of the work, including plumbing, ourselves) and moved into it in August. There was a small issue with the water temp- namely, that I couldn't regulate the water temp in the shower or kitchen. I worked around it by adjusting the temp...

I recently installed a new sink strainer and the day after, after maybe about 20 minutes of use, I noticed a slight trickle of water from that side of the sink. It look like it's coming from the seal, and perhaps the locking nut that connects the PVC pipe to the strainer. The locking nut isn't...

Hello! I recently bought an older home and while the home inspector said there was a "flow issue to the shower" I don't think he fully captured the level of "the issue" which is down right terrible... After taking a look in the basement I see that that 90% of the pipe is galvanized and very...

I am trying to replace the seat of my one-piece Kohler toilet. I have purchased the PART 84999 TOILET SEAT ANCHOR KIT but removing the old bolts from my previous seat is proving to be very challenging. I used some pliers to try to unscrew them, but just ended up snapping off the heads. Now, I'm...

The frost freeze faucet() seemed clogged and I was unable to unclog it like I did last time. It hasn't been used for a few years, so I suspected hard water build up. Last time, I simply took it off and cleaned it (when I first bought the house, I haven't really needed to use it so it went unused...
