    Water shut off valve leaks under kitchen sink

    Tightening up the packing nut did the job. That's all I needed to do. Thanks for your help. I tired to replace the valve, but I couldn't get it off. I'll just need to shut off the house water supply if I ever need to do any work on that faucet again. Later, Ryan

    Help me explain why up stair toilets drain but down stairs doesn't drain

    Any reason why we couldn't snake the main line? I think I could gain access to that in the crawl space. Just wondering. I think for the main line there is a trap you must bypass to properly snake the main line.
