Success! That totally worked! I just used a Clorox solution and no more smell. Thank you so much.

I live in a pretty new house, but I'm definitely getting a sewer smell whenever I run water in the top floor master bath sink. (It's only the sink on my side, not my wife's.) It may have started after I installed a basement bathroom, which I tied into a vent stack--a stub coming from the...

I did a reasonable job of cutting and applying tile around my shower arm opening on the wall. Problem is, the shower arm flange that came in the kit doesn't quite cover up my flaws. If I had maybe 1/4 inch additional all around on a flange, I could cover up everything. Is there anyone who...

If you recall my old andruesw thread, I was contemplating a running trap or Rube Goldberg run to my existing p-trap for a new basement shower. I've since dug deep, removed the old p trap and run a new "unique" line to the drain. I have ensured proper elevation (quarter inch per foot), but have...

I know there'a lots of opinion on this subject, but I'm moving my basement shower drain (2" pvc--see picture). The stub coming from the floor is the existing p-trap. I've dug an L-shaped trench and am thinking I will just offset the drain and cut into the existing trap without moving it. Is...
