One of my renters says he smells hydrogen sulfide (his diagnosis) coming from his bathroom sink and shower drains "occasionally". He is familiar with the smell as he tests water as part of his job duties so I guess he knows what he is talking about. Assuming he is correct, what would cause...

Recently, in one of my rentals, the water line developed a humming or whining sound and a burst of high pressure when the water was first turned on. I replaced the hot water tank last year and upon having this problem now, I added a Watts expansion tank and raised the house pressure to 50 up...

I have single handle faucet with a separate sprayer on the right side of the sink. Until recently, when I used the sprayer the faucet water shut off as it should. Now, when I use the sprayer there is less spray pressure and the faucet runs. How can I correct this - new sprayer??

I have a used Moen 1200 (brass) cartridge. The shower was dripping so I replaced it with a 1225. I now need to fix a different shower and I'm wondering if can re-use the brass one by simply replacing the four o-rings on it?? I figure bad rings are really what causes it to leak correct???

I have an older model (model # unknown) Peerless two handle faucet that is leaking at the base of the the spout. I assume that the o-rings need replaced. But, there is a cap on the top of the spout neck that appears to screw off so that you can remove the spout to get to the o-rings. I tried...

I went to change a Moen cartridge and of course the 1st step is to remove the handle screw. Using a phillips screwdriver, I can turn the screw while holding the handle but it won't UNSCREW - it turns as apparently does what it's attached to. I have put pressure on the handle to help pull out...

My neighbor's GE dishwasher won't allow the water to enter when it's turned on. Soneone told her to check the "float'!! Would that cause the water not to enter?? If not, any suggestions?? Thanks

I have a toilet that flushes "about" every other time. The next time the water swirls and rises and then returns to a normal level. A minute later it flushes. What would cause this phenomenon?? If it was clogged it would never flush correct??

I have a two handle kitchen faucet (see pics). It just started dripping and I'm not sure how to take it apart. It has a "cap" behind the faucet neck so I'm assuming there may be a washer in there. I took pics of it which will hopefully help someone give me an idea if this is an EASY fix. If...

I have a Moen kitchen faucet Model 87105 (it's not a posi-temp). It's dripping and instead of paying $25 for a new cartridge (part #1225) I think it's possible to just replace the two o-rings. Will that do it, or do I have to also replace the black rubber "wrap" on the upper part of the...

The shower/tub spigot in one of our bathrooms has a peculiar problem. It is isolated to JUST this line. The other lines in the house, including the sink in this bathroom and the bathroom right behind it (master bath), are FINE. When you turn on the water the pressure is fine for about 7-10...

I have a Moen bathtub faucet/shower head. It has the pull handle with the cartridge inside. Last year, I replaced the cartridge because it was leaking and was the original (installed in 1976). The leaking stopped, all seemd fine. I never use this shower, my sons do. They are off to college...
