shower

Hello all, I do not have much plumbing experience but am following my father's footsteps of being a DIY'er. My sink faucets and shower have always been a bit off since moving in about 6 months ago and seem to be getting worse. They require the hot water to be on full go while originally...

Okay, I have searched A LOT for an answer to this sound. Problem is that people have a hard time putting a name to sounds and so when someone says their shower was "whistling", "squealing" or even "roaring" I may not classify mine the same way. Despite that I've tried a lot of the things I've...

Our plumber installed a Tub Spout slightly rotated 10-15% degree angle to its left, like a globe. Curious if there is any reasons plumbers have any installation reasons do that, I will just rotate back myself. One time, I had a plumber install a bathroom sink 10% slanted on the xy plane, due...

hi Admin, please delete this thread, thanks

I have a Shower Diverter that keeps stuck having issues, where water goes to Both the Tub Spout and the Shower Head. We have replaced two shower spouts with diverters in the last month. Is there an underlying issue which can keep causing this? The shower diverters keep having issues, regardless...

Hi, I'm looking to change my downstairs bathroom to a Wetroom. It's currently an enclosed shower with a wooden floor on joists. I'm going to have the wooden floor remove and a Wetroom installed with a tiled floor. Please see picture of upstairs bathroom showing large tiles on the floor and...

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...

Working on a shower. Turn the handle an 1/8th turn, usually cold water should come out, but nothing. Another 1/8th turn and you can start to hear something, but water is just starting to drip out. Continue to turn and more the water starts to flow. It is just hot water, and too hot to shower in...

How is the Valley V4800 square escutcheon removed? Does it unscrew, or is it pulled out? I presume (after removing handle) that the escutcheon must be removed first in order to expose the retaining nut that secures the cartridge. This is a 2-handled Valley shower, circa 1974. I need to...

I have a combination tub/shower faucet that's leaking, at a rate of a drop every few seconds. The system has a shower head, tub faucet (with pull-style cutoff knob), shower/tub selector, and hot and cold handles. (All but the shower head shown is shown in the attached image, with handles removed...

I am looking to be the project manager for my own bathroom renovation and would like to know who should I be hiring to build the shower base, framing, waterproofing and drain installation. Is it the carpenter, plumber or both need to work together?

Hello, I have an old 2003 Delta shower handle. And I had just replaced (yesterday) the cartridge (Delta replacement from Lowe's). I watched Delta youtube video and did exactly what they said to do. But, my shower head is still dripping water... Please advise. Michael

Hello all, in need of help! So I buy this classic single lever delta trim kit and try to install it, but after installing it (I did it without swapping out the old cartridge at first), notice that the handle is not like its supposed to be on the box..on the box it's supposed to be at a 90...

Hi everyone, I live on the 3rd floor of a 6-floor building. I completed a gut renovation years ago and installed a shower and washer/dryer in a former bedroom, connecting the plumbing to the adjacent bathroom. It takes a long time for the water to heat up in all of the bathrooms on this line...

I live in a split-level house and have lived here for about 6 years. The bathroom in the basement was redone - likely by a DIY'er - before we bought the house. Periodically, over the last three years the waste vent will clog and backup both the shower and the toilet. I believe it's also...

My shower faucet broke and I can’t find a faucet that works with my old plumbing. I believe the plumbing is from 1975.04B11636-BD99-44CC-B760-30A069AEAA41 by Eric9 posted Jul 31, 2019 at 7:55 PM6A1F12BA-2B79-49C5-BBD7-F0DEEF12664F by Eric9 posted Jul 31, 2019 at 7:55...

Hi all, I live in an apartment building (4th floor) and a couple of days ago I went to shower and without realizing I budged the shower head down too much and heard a snap. Shortly after, the pressure decreased from the shower head and water started leaking just outside my bathroom door and...

I'm planning to add 2 ADA bathrooms in the facility for seniors. Installation will be over concrete floor, so will have to cut sewer lines in the concrete. Few questions: 1. Can I tile directly over concrete with a little slope towards the drain, or should use shower base? 2. Any suggestions on...

Hello friendly plumbing people! I live on 1st floor of 6-floor apartment building. Recently the drainage has become so loud from the other apartments above. We have a central stack that runs through the bathrooms but I hear it coming through my showers drain for some reason.... like a hollow...
