The house was built in 1890. I would like to move this drain line See photo. It currently runs straight down, turns left and eventually disappears into the floor. I’d like to make that left turn at or near the blue tape, run the line 35 feet along the wall, and dump it into a 4 inch drain...

Is this how things go together now? If so does this thing plug into the sanitary tee, or do you stub in a 1 1/2 piece of pipe. It looks Yanky and I only want to do this once. I don’t recall using anything like this in the past. I’ve already scrapped the bottle trap gizmo as it just looks...

Welp, it’s been awhile since I started the bathroom remodel. The folks here helped greatly and I got the DWV all completed. I’m goofing off today and decided to hook up the sink, while we continue waiting for our tile order. Question: I’m looking at the layout for the sink and I don’t like how...

Welp, after a rough few weeks things are coming together. I ran the water lines to my bath remodel in copper. I was going to try PEX, but my mind said PEX is for solder chickens. The fittings didn’t fit the pipe or vice versa. So I tried to make it work. I ended up tearing it out and going...

Welp, back to the drawing board. I planned to just reuse the original stack with inlets. Shower being delivered today. This morning I figured out I messed up. The sink is vented and is connected to the stack. Toilet also vented and connected to stack...but the remaining inlet is from the...

In wall toilet, with 2 inch vent. Here’s where I’m at. Pics are above and below. Does this look ok? Thanks

1st floor bathroom, wide open from basement to 1st level roof. 1890’s farm house. Very small 5 1/2 x 5 1/2. Sorry for my 2nd grade drawing. Bathroom to have wall hung toilet, shower, and sink. So far here’s my plan. The second long sweep 90 is to get under the floor joist. I plan to tie...

OK it’s been along time since my last remodel. I was famous for a minute, won a contest by trying to clear a clog with my leaf blower, ended up blowing up the bathroom. Now that I’ve prefaced my plumbing skills, I’m going to need some help, total demo of bathroom, took the floor too and my...

Well, my wife was complaining about having to drag the hose half way around the house to water the flowers. Thus, I grabbed a big drill bit and drilled for a new spigot. As I was tapping in for the supply, I dryed out the line with a rolled up paper towel and it came out covered with green...

Recent remodel. Sink has noticable odor, I'm thinking the drain setup looks a little funny. Is it ok forthe disposer, after the trap to connect just below the other sink drain at the tailpiece, into a T-Fitting?

Well I can't yet attach a pic, but lately the kitch sink has been stinking at my sisters house. Kitch was remodeled awhile ago, I looked at the drain set up and it looks a little goofy. Is it OK to have the drain off the disposer, after the trap run into a t connection from the other sink near...

Have a new GE fridge with water filter and dispenser. We ran through and flushed the line system whatever and after a month the water from the fridge still is awful, tastes like liquid plastic. Is this normal? Any remedies other than not to use?

I have an estimate from a waterproofing contractor wherein it is indicated that the drain tile is believed to be clogged, resulting in 3 water leaks in the basement of a home. It is also written on the estimate "hand cable drain tile $150.00, and a note about a cleanout." The estimate then...

I have a very small, very old corner wall mounted sink with the faucet and hot and cold handles coming out the back vertical face of the sink. The sink does have an area (ledge) on the top. The hot and cold handles are round plastic cylinders and the spout is in between, about 1 inch out and...

Well we installed the rinnia model 2520 at the office and now there is little to no hot water. It takes 5 minutes, the plumber guy says well it comes out at 120 degrees but by time it gets where its going it drops to like 90 degrees. Still feels cold to us. He claims its because the pipes are...

The water company has already shut off the water. There is copper coming up from the floor, to a brass 90, then the shut off. Replacing with ball valve. I will soon attempt to remove the old valve. I have already given it a shot lightly and it may be frozen. I'm thinking about heating up the...
