leak

Hi all, I am having a leak in our kitchen ceiling which is on the first floor. Above the leak is our second floor tub. The leak is coming from our spout and\or our single handle lever. The lever and spout are both Kohler. I found a similar post here...

Hello all, I have been lurking on this site on and off for a few years now, so once I ran into a problem, I immediately came here. I just bought a house that is slab on grade, and when the water was turned on, the floor became wet. We traced it to the picture posted. We actually had to pull up...

I've got a toilet which I can't find a name anywhere on it. Toilet is about 25 years old and just recently started leaking around the flapper. I noticed it when I kept hearing the toilet fill up. I've replaced the flapper twice with no success in stopping the water flow. I'm replacing the...

Older home (1897), ceramic-coated cast iron tub on second floor (set into a tiled cabinet/surround)leaked during and/or while draining a bath. Leak made its way through the ceiling of the kitchen below, dripping from a recessed light fixture. No leak was detected while filling the tub — someone...

Hello All, In advance I would like to thank anyone who reads this post and helps me out. I am not knowledgeable in DIY plumbing work so any help would be most welcome. I had a leaking faucet. Picture attached. From videos on you tube, I understood that the cartridge needed to be changed. So I...

1 year ago as we were buying this house, we found the pvc tube for the humidifier overflow was full and leaking into buckets (see old.jpg). The seller agreed to fix and his HVAC company installed a "V" looking trap (see new-trap.jpg). Fast forward a year to today when I again found the pvc...

Appreciate your time in advance: Situation: My plumbing IQ is low, live in Cleveland in a large 97 year old house, yesterday morning a water main break hit our area - 24 hours later and it's not fixed, yesterday temperatures quickly elevated above freezing thawing several inches of snow/ice...

I hired a recommended pro to install preslope, liner, and final slope. 1. Liner was cut too deep at the threshold so water test failed. Pro is out of town so I used Oatey X-15 to patch (3" overlap) and will install dam corners prior to reinstalling. Should I redo the whole liner or are these...

We're in the middle of a basement remodel and now there is water dripping off the wall around the water shut off valve. The wall is damp to the left and right of the valve, not just beneath at the 90. We did replace the old valve and may have damaged the old pipe in the foundation in the...

Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum and I'm having a plumbing nightmare. I just bought this mobile home about 6 months ago. Recently someone pointed out to me that the washer was draining underneath the house. I didn't notice because I barely ever go on that side of the house where the water was...

Moved into a new house several weeks ago -- have been using the plumbing and appliances (dishwasher & washing machine) as one usually might. Yesterday, I saw there was water on the floor of the basement. I did also see some shreds of paper-like material on the floor -- perhaps it was in the pipe...

This the faucet and stem from an 8 inch spread three hole bathroom sink. Problem: When either the hot or cold water handles are turned on, water drips out the bottom of the spout shank (underneath the sink) and very little or no water at all actually comes out the spout itself. As you can see...

Hi, this is my first post, so thanks in advance for any help. I was walking along the outside of the house today, and noticed that there is a hole in the wall leaking water at a pretty constant pace, straight onto one of my bushes. This hole lies directly under the kitchen sink on the interior...

I noticed a leak on my basement wall that seems to be happening when I run my shower on the 2nd floor of my house . The wall in the basement is sort of recessed pushed outward to accomodate a largeish white pipe that goes behind it that was put in when I dormered my house 10 years ago and added...

Hello, My home has a State Select electric water heater, 9+ years old now, still working (for the moment), but there's been a very slow leak for a few months now from where the PRF valve connects to the unit. The leak has left a rusty stain down the side of the unit, but the water that pools...

Hello all, I'm new to this so please bare with me. My rental property in Sparks NV. Has a front water spigot that has not been used in years. We are looking to sell the house soon and want to fix it up. A couple years ago, I went to use the front hose and no water came out. I was in a hurry and...

Can anyone tell me is this leak coming specifically from this hose meeting the wall or does it appear to be more of an actual pipe in the wall issue? Thanks in advance.

Hello Everyone, I just bought a home a couple of months back. I am in experienced and need some help. I have a vanity sink as show in the attached pic. Two of them actually and both are leaking. In the attached pic, you can see water leaking from the right hand bottom corner. It's just small...

All, Though I have used this forum in the past this is the first time I have posted anything, all the other forums I have searched for information have been spot on but I just can’t seem to find anything specific on this issue. I recently installed 634’ of 2” schedule 40 pvc bell end pipe...
