    Will toilet trap size help with this?

    Twice a week my 13 year old son clogs the toilet with football size poop! The plunger no longer works, so we have to bust out the auger. He knows he needs to chop and scoop and whatever, but that never happens....and I'm tired of the arguments and the auger. Our only toilet is Elijer 1.6...

    Basement bath rough-in gone wrong?

    I hired a guy with "30 years of construction experience" to help me add a basement bath. He made the plumbing seem really simple...too simple.
