    Slow draining basin

    About 1 & 1/2 years ago, we had our bathroom renovated and the company doing the work replaced the wash basin, among other things. Since then, it seems our sink is sometimes slow to drain. While running water in it, it will drain OK, then suddenly stop draining until it's 1/2 to 2/3 full...

    Pipes humming/whining

    We have been in this house since it was built in '71. No problems until it was re-piped 2 yrs ago. Since then, we have a humming or whining every time one of the 3 outsides spigots is used. I thought this was air in the system and would work its way out, but it hasn't. As the water...

    Rialto 3402

    We have had this in our main bath for probably 20 yrs, and although known as troublesome, we have not had much trouble with ours. About 6 mos ago, it got so that the flush handle does not come back up after being tripped, and the flapper doesn't close, and thus water runs continuously. We...

    Kinked disposal hose

    I have run into this several times, in my house, and others. The 7/8 inch rubber drain hose from the air gap to the garbage disposal kinks. This usually results when the air gap has been located close to the disposal, but requires several bends to connect it. The disposer cannot be...

    Toilet Flange

    We just had our bathroom floor tiled, and I noticed tonite that that toilet flange is not parallel with the tiled floor. I knew it was going to be low, and expected to use a 1/4" extender. Getting down and measuring it, it runs from 1/16" low on one side to 3/16 low on the opposite. This...

    Sink fixture in wall

    We are starting a mild makeover of our main bathroom. The wife wants one of these vessel type bowls, so we're going to replace the counter with a granite slab, for the vessel to sit on. Now she has seen a bathroom with a vessel sink and the faucet coming out of the wall behind it. There was...

    Replacing Flourescent Ballast

    The prevous owner had some flourescent lights hard wired in the closets of our home. These light assemblies are about 42" long and contain 2 ea F13T5 bulbs, about 20" long. They are giving out and replacing the bulbs doesn't help, so it must be the ballasts! Tried to buy the ballasts...

    Gas Range problem

    We recently remodeled our kitchen ourselves. We have a Frigidaire gas built-in range, in a new cabinet, although it's in the same place with just a slightly longer flex line from the s/o valve to the regulator at the range itself. The new cabinet has two large drawers for pots and pans, vs...

    Silgranit Sink

    We are working on a DIU kitchen remodel and the wife wants a Silgranit sink. I'm going to have the granite countertops done by a granite contractor and am wondering if they can undermount a silgranit sink under the counter without some sort of bracing support built-in? Seem like a lot of...

    Repiping

    I am currently starting to remodel our kitchen, with the bathrooms to follow. Our house is 35 years old, and still has the original galv pipes. I guess it would be nice to do the remodel and repipe together, but it's not going to happen. Talking about the repiping with my son, an...

    Moving Kit Sink

    We are contemplating remodeling our kitchen, and would like to relocate the kitchen sink about 2 ft. It is currently located just prior to an outside corner and we would like to place it in the middle of the corner. A neighbor with a floorplan similar to ours did this, and just extended the...
