    American Standard faucet won't stop leaking

    My cold water faucet in the bathroom sink won't stop leaking. I replaced the washer, then the entire cartridge, then the seat. What else is there to replace? I got a Danco cartridge (looks similar to below). Perhaps the off market cartridge isn't quite the same size as the original? I even...

    Two Oval Holes in Sink Drain Pipe

    In our bathroom sinks, when I took the stopper out, I noticed two oval holes near the top of the drain pipe (one on either side). The holes are above the thread area for the stopper. Does anyone know what these holes are and what they are there for? Do they drain down into the drain pipe...

    How to remove old style slotted tailpiece nut?

    This is under a bathroom sink and is too thin to grab with my basin wrench, and too close to the edge as well. I also tried tapping one of the slots with a long screwdriver and hammer. Is there a special tool or workaround for this? Photo enclosed. Thanks!

    Problem with smelly sinks

    Hello, We have an odor in our master bath that's like old gym clothes. It seems to come from the two sinks. When the bathroom is closed up, it takes a few hours for the odor to build up, and it gets worse when the weather is cool and damp. I've flushed the overflow and the drain with chlorine...
