    Toilet tank overflow NO CLOG

    Hello: I need some help with this. I have two Gerber toilets in one of my rental properties which I purchased and installed in 2004. Last week a tenant called and said she went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, went back to sleep and was awakened by the ceiling in the living room...

    Bevelled gasket Calantha: There is no need to replace the bevelled washer unless you notice that when you take a shower, or get water on the overflow faceplate, that some water leaks out of the back of the tub.

    Tub shoe washer/gasket

    A little clarification Jimbo and HJ: Thank you both for your help. You have eased my mind, regarding the overflow gasket. However, the guy sold me two different types. One was the beveled type, and the other was a softer type of rubber that was thicker (maybe 1/2 " thick) around the outer...

    Tub shoe washer/gasket

    Hello: I am NOT a plumber, but a DIY rehabber of rental properties I own. Anyway, I need some help. In one of my properties, a tenant called to say that she had a leak whenever she took a bath, but NOT when she took a shower. I went to look, and when I ran water against the overflow, I got a...
