I should know this but.......my toilet doesn't flush properly but I am convinced it's not blocked. I can dump 1/2 gallon of water directly into the bowl and it dumps perfectly but when I flush it normally it just kind of swirls around and won't completely empty the bowl. The flapper is...

What kind of equipment do prfessionals use to detect under slab leaks? Is it a listening device of some sort? I have a good sized under slab hot water leak under in a rental condo of mine. The noise is very apparent in the back to back bathroom walls. It is as loud as say, when the toilet...

OK...What the heck??? I tested it before drywall and didn't have an issue. Maybe I didn't test it enough...I don't know. 1. New shower/tub handset with diverter built into tub spout. 2."Rain" style shower head installed in ceiling. When I am filling the tub, the shower head leaks/dribles...
