drain

Just had a completely new sewer line installed made of PVC. I can now hear a sound coming from my shower drain. Not sure it’s flowing water, it’s a little like the sound of a seashell when you put it up to your ear. This is present even when there’s no water flowing or draining. I’ve checked all...

Right on, very glad I found this forum. Also very sad to hear about Terry's passing. Sounds like a great dude. I am from the USA but live out here in Croatia. Did a total renovation of a flat in an old high-rise (with a crew), and have several questions. This is the least interesting question...

Iam trying to move a kitchen island a few feet. There was previously a washer next to the sink. There are two drains coming up from the concrete slab. Can I use the old washer drain for the sink? The drain on the left is the sink and the one on the right is the old washer drain that doesn’t have...

The home owner strikes again... I told my wife id make her a second bathroom before first developing the requisite skills. Its gone alright so far but i am absolutely losing my mind over trying to install this alcove shower/bath. I bought this tub kit...

Howdy, I recently took on a job doing a house renovation and the owner had already taken the shower out and all I had to work with is the 2” threaded steel pipe with no floor around it. My question is What may be needed to put a kholer cast iron tub back in the same spot the shower was? The...

I have a mop sink that I had installed in my laundry room. I had it installed at waist level because I wanted to use it for bathing my dogs and cats at home. It's great, but I can't stand that there is no way to plug the drain, as it has the standard mop sink/shower-type drain. The outer...

I'm replacing a residential shower floor drain cover, and the threads for it are very slightly under 3", so regular replacements don't fit. I need to track down this manufacturer, does anyone recognize this brand/logo? Googled OIC and nothing came up!

Hi, I am having operating problems with this installation. Samsung unit gives a drain error and doesnt drain without manually pushing the drain button. The dishwasher is on the other side of a corner cabinet from the sink and currently has a 12' drain line with a high loop under the sink...

I'm looking for the easiest and best way to make this single lav waste/vent setup into a double. The current trap adapter is in the center of the wall and the new vanity setup will have an 18" drawer base cabinet in the center and a 30" sink base on both sides of that. Which would make my trap...

Doing your major remodel in Florida slab on grade can you guys check my drain layout and see if you see any problems? Top bathroom has the toilet at the end of the line and does not require venting in my area. I am concerned that it may suck the water out of the shower trap if the 2 ' wet vent...

Hello, I need advice with drain connection from existing laundry drain to new sink. I'm thinking of doing as shown in the picture. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hey all, I am doing a bathroom remodel where I am moving from a single vanity to a double vanity. After looking around at other posts about how to properly setup the draining for the sinks, I have not been able to find a post similar to my scenario. I have the vent stack off the the left in an...

Doing a bathroom remodel where I am changing to a double sink vanity. After looking around a bit I have seen how to handle the drains with venting when the stack is in the same wall. Although I am a bit unsure how to address my situation where the stack is in the adjacent wall. This is the main...

Hi all, I am currently installing a 1st floor Bathroom. The plumbing for both floors is currently accessible so I would like to make sure this plan for drain and venting should work. The 2nd floor is a converted attic/living space so separate roof vents would prove difficult. I'm hoping to...

This drain has bothered me since we purchased our house (2020), but it’s never caused problems or been enough of a nuisance to check it out. Our shower drain does not sit flush with the lowest point in the pan so we get some pooling water around the edges. It looks to be about 3/16" higher than...

Noticed a water leak coming from our second floor bathroom and I’ve got it narrowed down to the shower floor drain. I’ve got access to the drain and P-trap from the floor below but I’m having some trouble identifying the drain type with the glue that the plumber used to install the drain cover...

Is it ok that drain seems to be a bit elevated? Water seems to sit around the drain for a few minutes and then goes away, is this a sign of a leak or are drains designed to work like this? Thank you!

Freezing weather caused my water lines to freeze in my newly purchased mobile home. They thawed without incidence, we thought. But since, my washing machine drain backs up into both toilets and the bathtub which are quite a distance away from the washing machine. And my kitchen sink (close by)...

fixing up an old house and the bathtub looks great other than this drain. I’m very confused at what I’m looking at as I’ve never dealt with tub drains. Ideally I want to fix it up and add hardware. Is this a shoe that’s been sealed over or is this apart of the tub and I should reseal it? The...

Hello, How important is the slope and placement of the shower pipe that leads to the main drain? An assistant plumber decided to route the pipe through the wall, rather than taking the most direct line, which would be from the shower drain to the main drain in a straight shot. When we asked...
