Best root killer how often for preventative maintenance etc. how quick do they actually work. Recommend snake tip for cutting/breaking up or grabbing to pull out roots These are all garden drain.

Rule out every drain pipe and supply line All the supply lines come through the ceiling, not the gutters or flashing a sprinkler or poor drainage from outside or roof leak. The floor gets visibly damaged but it takes a long time, no puddles. When the planks were removed there was no obvious...

Perfect thanks!

If someone could point me to some building codes and/or requirements for drywall in California for garages.

Thanks, I meant the square (I’ve seen really cockeyed cuts or break it off to fit) in the shelf for a p-trap/pipes fit

Suggestions how to close up a hole under the sink made for a p-trap. What do people usually do I suppose you could leave it cut a of thin piece wood or plastic that makes it more aesthetic and easy to remove for snaking. I’ve always lucked out and never had to cut through the shelf.

If someone can quote some codes. Do the manufacturers instructions take president and become “code” or California building or mechanical code take over. According to the measurements stated online from GE and the instructions manual, all the numbers are in their guidelines, and A LOT Of...

In the kitchen there’s a bare structural post. Going to build it up with wood or Sheetrock and add switches. Does the romex come down from the ceiling need protection( conduit-nail guard etc..) as it runs parallel to the post, or it the post is built up and the wires are set back enough it...

Can one hole have the supply, drain and power (not hard wired)through it or does it need to be separate holes.

I guess the next question would be what size do I make the ground wire. There a table I can refer to. Thanks
