I've searched the forum and can't find a problem like this. We just had a new faucet installed. 80% of the time when we turn the water on, it (or the pipe) makes a clunking noise for a second, and the water kind of skips a beat, then it's fine. Should we be fixing something, or is this normal...

After a recent rainy spell here in Seattle, we discovered a leak from the roof letting water into two hall closets. Repairs to the roof are scheduled, and hopefully the hot weather is drying out the closet AND the ants the wet brought. NOW we see there is some kind of funk growing in the...

We'd like to install an 18" GE Spacesaver and a disposal in our tiny new kitchen which currently has neither. I have not the first clue how to do this. It would go to the left of the sink, which means we'd have to cut out a third of the cabinet that's there. I assume we then have to build a...

We're looking to upgrade our frig. The one that will fit has an icemaker, which we don't currently have. We have a galley style kitchen - the sink is across from the frig. How much money are we looking at to install the icemaker line? I'm guessing it would be done in the crawl space? In...

Hello plumbing gurus - This may or may not be the appropriate forum for my question, but I gotta start somewhere. We're under contract to buy a raised-ranch house in Seattle, and had the inspection today. Lo and behold, there is water in small puddles in the garage (which we figured was due...

We own a small bar in Seattle and over the last 4 billing cycles have seen very high water bills - the last one was $1,300, double last year at this time. We've been advised by the City to replace the 2 toilets, which are 1.6 but were installed in 1994 and thus are not the latest version. The...
