My latest water bill came higher than usual. On average we use around 6-7k gallons of water per month; family of four. This past month it was 11k gallons used. Called the water company to see if it was an error on their part but they said it wasn’t, that’s what the meter showed so that’s what...

Not sure if this is the right section to post this so if it’s wrong, I apologize. Been renting a house for 4 yrs now. When we first moved in I tested the water dispenser but no water came out so I just figured it didn’t work. Didn’t think to check anything or gave it much thought. Since then...

Got a leak under the bathroom sink that upon inspection I could see water leaking from the PVC pipe joints. I removed the trap to check the washers in the joints. I replaced them with new ones purchased at Home Depot but the leak is still there and actually leaking more now. Don't know if this...

There is no shut off valve on the water supply line that connects to the tank on my toilet. I just see the pipe coming from the wall and the water supply line connects to the tank. The fill valve inside the tank needs to be replaced but I'm not sure how to go about replacing it since I...

I'm a newbie to this site and a complete newbie to plumbing. I want to learn how to fix things on my own. The shower head in my bathroom drips continuously when the water is diverted to the tub spout. Also, when the water is diverted to the shower head, water also drips from the tub spout...
