    Wax Ring Leaking

    Well it's been about a week, so far so good. To recap, I put down a new floor and toilet flange ended up not quite a "1/4 below the floor. Two wax rings, one just wax, one with the flange, both leaked. I then tried ?perfect Seal by Danco. It leaked. The concept of this seal seem fool proof but...

    Wax Ring Leaking

    Nope, no sweat at all. Last light I disassembled and inspected toilet flange. The front quarter and back quarter of the flange are about a "1/16 or lower than the rest of the flange. I could see this and I could definitley feel it. In other words, the flange on the toilet is not the same height...

    Wax Ring Leaking

    Very little water, in the back of the toilet , on the floor. Water showed about 12 hrs. after test flushing. I haven't pulled toilet back up to look at possible cause of failure. I'm quite certain there is no blockage. Thanks.

    Wax Ring Leaking

    In the rear of toilet. I'm SURE it is from the wax ring and not tank or supply line. I now plan to add an additional toilet flange then reinstall. Although the wax sits above the floor, I question if enough wax is being compressed.

    Wax Ring Leaking

    Installed new toilet after putting down new floor. Used provided wax seal, no sleeve. It leaked. Got new jumbo wax ring with sleeve. It's leaking. I have almost "1/4 from flange to floor. I see wax compressed through the bolt holes. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Laminate Countertop Replacement

    I want to replace my u-shape laminate kitchen countertops. What's the going trend? Is using preformed countertops with 45 degrees already cut OK? I suspect having a cabinet shop fabricate a large u-shaped countertops would be quite costly but I may do that if exposed cuts are definitely a bad...

    Pump not Pumping

    I have a 1/2 hp Sears shallow well pump about 6 yrs. old that quit pumping. I checked for suction on the inlet side, as suggested by someone who does wells, and I get no suction. I removed housing and inspected diffuser and impeller. It all looks good. Reassembled but same problem. Any ideas on...

    Danfoss Tempress II valve cartridge drips

    Ok, I replaced my Valley single handle shower faucet cartridge with a new one but the faucet still drips. Any suggestions? Maybe remove new cartridge and re-seat it? Thanks.

    Valley Cartridge won't come out

    After soaking the cartridge, it did in fact rotate and come out. It is a single handle Valley shower faucet. My problem now is after I replaced the cartridge the faucet is dripping. I cleaned the housing with steel wool then flushed before I installed the new cartridge. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Valley Cartridge won't come out

    I have a Valley single handle shower cartridge to replace and when I went to remove it only part of it came out. Any tips on how to get the rest of it out? I've got it soaked with PB Blaster. Thanks.
