I'm quite the amateur at this. I replaced the flapper. I still seem to be having a problem of the tank no longer filling up with water. The pump still pumps out water, but I don't see where the water is going. I could replace the pump, which may or may not be possible. I could try to take...

How would I clean this stain on this ceramic (?) sink? Thank you.

How do you know what construction developers offer good construction and which one(s) do not in an area? If this is not the forum for this kind of question, then do you have any suggestions of a good forum? Specifically for me, Philadelphia and surrounding areas. I've heard from several people...

I'm not sure where to put this or if I need to look for another forum for this. If I need to look for another forum, any suggestions? By observation, the crack(s) in this wall seem to have been created mainly from this shelving being improperly hooked on for over 9 years. How do I go about...

Does it matter which side of a foam outlet you put where in order to minimize the amount of heat one loses by the outlet?

I know nothing about having an electric generator. I live in a community association that does not allow for a permanent generator (unless doctor's orders and that a portable generator would not suffice.) How would I go about buying a portable generator? What do I have to be aware of for...

For the past two nights when I come home, I smell this gassy leak like smell in my living room. I had the electric/gas representative come to my home yesterday and there was no sign of a gas leak when he investigated my chimney, boiler and AC/heating unit, and the general vicinity of the room...

My toilet has begun to overflow and I'm not sure what to do with it. I tried re-adjusting the bulb, and then too much water started flowing out and not stopping until I re-adjusted the bulb again. Should I try replacing the flapper, or is my toilet clogged? Even when I stop the water, the...

An outlet just blew out on me at random. There was no thunderstorm, and the circuit breaker didn't get affected. What is a reasonable ball park charge/interval for such a repair? Thank you very much.

The hardware stores near me don't seem to sell halogen lamps anymore. Are they illegal to sell in certain states because of fire hazard concerns, or are the stores near me just not selling them? Thank you

Hi, I am not a pro at working with lights or electricity. I have a vanity mirror in the bathroom composed of 5 light bulbs. Out of the 5 light bulbs, I only had three light bulbs in because one of them was bright enough to not use all 5 of them. Two of the bulb slots did not work and I...

Hi, I have a concern that a shower drain might be slowing building up. I have one of those showers you just stand in. It is not like a tub with a stopper. When I open up the drain, I clean what I can, but I fear that the water might get stagnant or smelly. Any ideas? Thank you.

I've been hearing a pump like sound, sounds like water is being pumped into the toilet on and off. The flow seems to be off. I will try to get a video if I can capture the right moment for the sound that I hear. I'm guessing I have to replace the toilet valve, but it could just be the flapper...

(about) daily between 3 AM - 5 AMish, if I have not fallen asleep 100%, I can usually hear my toilet making a water dripping sound on the inside. No water is leaking to the outside from the toilet. A Home Depot rep told me I only needed to replace the flapper. Not only did I replace the...
