    Wanting to patch a Bathtub Wastewater Pipe Severed at Joint

    Hi. I'm wondering if it's possible to patch 2 pieces of wastewater pipe back together via some sort of tape or mesh with epoxy or something along those lines. Not sure if this severed because of corroded threads or because it was patched to begin with (assuming the black is some sort of tape)...

    Why is my shower head leaking?

    I have installed 2 brand new shower heads on the same shower and both leaked, which leads me to believe something else is going on. It leaks out of the the shower head holes, not any connections. Any suggestions on what might be the problem? I just recently installed a new Delta 1400...

    Pipe Patch Kits

    Hi, I was wondering whether any plumber's use or like using pipe repair kits that come with an epoxy and silicone wrap for repairing leaky pipes? Is this more of a DIY product or does it actually get used by professionals? Do you tend to repair pipes or patch them up when they're corroded etc...

    Help! Stupid question. Half inch Galvanized Pipe

    Flapper replaced, still ghost flushes occasionally

    My old flapper was leaking as I flushed, so I got it replaced. I've put a new flapper on the toilet (a Toto 3-inch), but occasionally when I flush it still won't form a tight seal so it'll leak. If I flush it again it usually fixes itself and seals properly. This only happens 30% of the time so...
