I'm rebuilding my shower and ran into an issue that I'm not quite sure how to solve. After pulling the old shower out, we discovered the whole house needed to be repiped. Yay home ownership?... We had the repipe done by a local company, and now with that done, I've resumed plans to rebuild the...

Hello! I've never posted here before, and I'm sure this is just the most stupid question ever, but I'm kind of at my wits' end. :) I have replaced my toilet flapper about 6 times and still can't find one that works. I doubt I need to say this, but I know nothing about plumbing, and I would...

My irrigation system is powered by a shallow well. I live in south Florida. A few months ago my pump seized up. It was 1hp. I hadn’t noticed there was a problem until I saw some brown/dry spots in my yard. I replaced it with a 3/4hp that I got a good deal on, hoping it work. It worked, but...
