Background: house built in 1986, well water, pressure tank. I do all the plumbing, but we only bought the house a couple years ago, so problems may or may not be my fault :) Water pressure in our sinks is normally really good. It's great in the showers. But when the washing machine is...

I'm looking at replacing a bidet with a "pedestal" sink, quoted because the base is large enough to surround all plumbing and is a stand-alone unit. The bidet was never actually installed, but all plumbing is through the floor. A correct bidet plumbing would have the p-trap below the floor...

We're adding a bar sink into the basement of our house while we are finishing it. The location is at a place where we can attach to the drain just fine.

Hello, I hope I will explain it clearly :) I have to change the location of a kitchen sink which will require the pipe draining into the vertical drain to be moved. The vertical drain is copper and is in the wall. We can access it by removing the gyps and insulation. My questions is whether...

Hello all, This is my first time posting here. Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts and tips. I plan on hiring a professional plumber to do the job, however, I like to know before proceeding if what I have in mind is possible or not. After removing a fiberglass shower on a concrete...

Hi, I have a bathroom sink that is leaking. The issue is the compression fitting (see picture attached). I tighten it as much as I dare, but over time, the compression fitting slips (due to the weight of the p-trap ) and then it start leaking. I have addressed this temporarily by supporting the...
