It is a Kohler toilet. I screwed up when I went to snake it and scratched it in the bottom area where the water return is. Thanks.

Hi, What are the recommended methods to stop mold ore get rid of it. (1) I had a couple of leaks in a few spots around the house - under a sink and also from a pipe in the storeroom. They weren't floods but because water did get into some places, I'd like to make sure I take appropriate steps...

I need to replace my sump pump and want to take a swing at doing it myself. The pump is 22 years old and I'm pretty sure it failed. The outlet is working so I know it isn't power. I have standing water where the pump is sitting. (1) Do I need to drain the water out of the area where the pump...

I came across this product and it seems like a good alternative to hair catchers. https://www.drainfunnel.com/ I know one downside is that you can't use a drain stopper while in use. It begs the question of the risks of hair going down a drain. The buildings I'd use it in are newer - post...

Hi, I've got a 2 handle Moen faucet in our bathroom. Moen has sent me the cartridges to replace the current ones. Unfortunately, the handles are stuck and no matter what I try via Moen, they will not give. I've put vinegar around them with no luck. Maybe I'm not putting vinegar in the right...

My apologies for an off plumbing question, but this is probably the best place to get my question answered. I'm building a small cart to transport a heavy kayak. It is 72 lbs without gear and probably pushing 100 lbs after adding gear. I'm building this out of PVC schedule 40 pipe and...

Hi, Probably an unusual request. I've got an old Moen liquid soap dispenser, Model 3910. I need to reinstall it and the one part that I can't find is what I'd describe as a foam gasket or seal. The original disintegrated after 19 years. It goes between the Brass Escutcheon (see diagram) and...

I just tried installing the Perfect Seal Toilet Wax Ring. The back of the toilet has a slight rock or wobble from side to side. I've already taken out the black plastic insert and because the flange is above the floor, I'm not using the blue adapter. I've already sat on it and tried putting...

I've installed a new shower head and it has a minor drip where it attaches to the shower head arm. I've replaced my fair share of showerheads and not had this problem so I'm at a loss. As you can see in the picture, I wrapped it with plumber's tape. Is there an art or best practice that I...

Ok, this is probably an easy question and a stupid one. I was repairing a toilet that had leaked. I removed the toilet to clean up and then put in a new wax ring. Of course the flange screws/bolts were stripped so I bought new ones. What do the bolts connect to? Because of the flange and...

Hi, I'm not even sure what to title this. I've got an old Moen shower head (moved in 2001) that leaks. I'm sure it is the cartridge. When I take apart the handle (single handle unit), i get to a few parts that prevent me from getting to the cartridge. Please see the attached pictures. How do I...
