Looking for a gut check. We knew we likely had a clogged or leaky main sewage line, which runs under our deck. Crew tore up the deck and started trenching on the end closest to the house. Its PVC to cast iron, junction maybe 3 feet down. When they left yesterday it was clear there was a...

Hi all: I need to replace the valve in a Toto that has a "surge" filling problem (had this in other toilets in the house too, but haven't dealt with this one since we moved in). Can someone ID the model so I can be sure I get the right part? I assume what I need is either the Korky silver cap...

Hi all: Now dealing with the second Toto in our new house (new to us; ToMto is probably from around 2005). Longstanding problem was that it was filling in bursts rather than smoothly, and there was clearly all sorts of sediment in the tank. Then it started running continuously a few days...

Ugh. Back for more help with the same Toto after this thread (https://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/help-iding-toto-model.70968/) . I got the silver cap new valve and the Fluidmaster Universal 3" flapper. Installed both with little trouble, and I thought all was fine. That was...

Hi all: Moved into a new house with a Toto toilet. It's been not filling and/or running. I need to replace the flapper I am pretty sure, and possibly the valve also. But I can't figure out the model # to make sure I get the right thing. There is absolutely nothing printed inside the tank...

Hi all: I am hoping someone here can shed some light on this situation. I have a third floor condo in DC. I have a mid-range Kohler toilet. In the last month or so, my toilet has, for lack of a better term, thrown up periodically. I've never been in the room when it happened, but...

Hi all: Hoping you can help put me on the right track here, but I know the solution does is unlikely to be DIY here. (You just helped me solve a simple upside down Moen cartridge) Lived in this condo for about 4 years. Noticed about a week ago that if i touched by stainless steel kitchen...

Hi all. see picture attached of the installation of the cartridge. From other pictures I've seen here that is right. My problem is fitting together the key stop/limit stop/handle adapter properly. basically, just using the handle adapter it starts at 6 o'clock being off, going clockwise...

Hi all: Replacing the existing valve (and trim) for a tub/shower in a building with copper supply lines that were treated about 7 years ago with the Ace Duraflo epoxy lining process and not sure what my options are. I know that I can't sweat for any new changes because it melts the...

Hi all: Brand new Kohler Wellworth toilet. Moderately rusty 4" cast iron drain line and flange in a 3rd story condo. Several installation attempts with new toilet resulted in leaking in the back of the base; definetly not sweating or tank seal leak. Went out and bought a Ferno Wax Free...

Hi all: I'm starting to put the bathroom back together after a full gut. Concrete slab, 3rd floor condo. I've removed a 60x30 steel tub and have a new 60x30 Kohler (deeper, acrylic) along with their PVC drain kit. The old overflow, tailpipe, T are iron (I'm fairly sure), and of course...
