    Leaking p-trap joint and can't unscrew nut

    Thanks for the clarification. Since I don't think it can get any tighter, should my next step be to try turning the union nut (counterclockwise?) with Channel-Locks until it either comes loose or something breaks, and then go from there?

    Leaking p-trap joint and can't unscrew nut

    I replaced my kitchen sink and garbage disposer and intended on swiveling the p-trap to line up with the new disposer. I thought the p-trap was attached with a slip joint connection and all I would have to do is loosen the slip joint nut. However, the nut won't move. I was still able to swivel...

    Shower handles falling off

    Adding shower to old tub

    It’s a raised house with crawlspace underneath. A local plumber came out and advised leaving the old plumbing alone and installing a new shower valve in the existing wall on the other end of the tub. I’m just trying to make the house rent-able for a few years before tearing it down. Thanks.
