That is what the guy at Home Depot also suggested to me. Once I open it I should clean up the pipe and nut since it seems there seems to be alot of...

    Low water flow rate from kitchen faucet

    Bad smell coming from bathroom possibly from toilet

    Recently we noticed a bad smell coming from our downstairs bathroom. When we investigated it further it seem that there was some leakage from base of the toilet. So had a plumber come out, took out the toilet, and informed us that the wax ring had failed. So he replaced new wax ring and...
