Hi, I’m new here so I hope my first post makes sense! I’m remodeling my cottage bathroom. There is a floor joist right under and parallel to the wall where the shower, toilet and sink are.

Hi all, What is this hose's purpose? It connects above the P-trap on my bathroom sink and runs into a wall facing the outside. It's on only one of the two sinks in the master bath. My wife says when it's cold she can hear what sounds like wind coming from the sink drain. This sink is on the...

I own a 2 story townhome on a slab with no basement. Our downstairs bathroom has had a sewer smell develop in it and I also noticed the toilet was rocking side to side. I pulled it off to find a broken pvc closet flange. Replaced the flange and set it back on with a new thick wax ring with no...

Removed my pedestal sink in order to paint and life happened an now I've forgotten how to hook it all back up. My main problem is I don't know what I need in order to connect the pipe to the hole in the wall. I've attached a pic of what I need to connect, and a pic of the cover it all needs to...

I'm adding a bathroom in a recently-enclosed garage. Instead of busting up the concrete and trenching to the septic tank, I'm feeding this into a macerating toilet, which I'll then tie into a nearby line that goes to the septic. My question is about venting. I've roughed in a configuration, but...

So, you can look at the pictures and see what I intend on doing. My problem is that the shower drain is not close enough to the stack to meet plumbing code (There is no code out here in the boondocks). I could put the stack up through the exterior wall to the right of the window, but that would...

Hi folks, Looking for some guidance on a DIY basement rough-in. Thought I was done but had a bit of a brainwave and realized I don't think my shower venting is adequate considering it's tied in to the toilet drain. What would be the best way to resolve this properly? Any help would be much...

Can these be installed without access to the attic area? I live in a condo, and would desperately like to rid myself of the builder grade fan I have now. While there is attic space above the fan, there is no access to that area. When I contacted a local contractor who was recommended by the...
