    AC Drain Line into Tub Overflow - Can I reroute?

    Many A/C drains we see have NO TRAP, or traps that become dried out. If connected to vent pipe, then that is a hazardous condition. There would need to be a plumbing p-trap and trap primer to be a legal receptor that would then have an air gap over the receptor.,

    Wall mounted toilet, drywall broke

    Incredibly stupid design in the first place, having loading on the cantilevered china pushing against the bottom. Plywood with thinset tile is the only sensible solution, plywood with drywall will eventually crush the gypsum. Even plywood with tile, I can imagine the tile cracking from the...

    Possible shower leak

    Kitchen sink drain pipe slip-joint slips off

    Air gap when dishwasher is not near the sink?
