sink

Just inherited a old beat up home. Tried using the sink and water started flowing from the floor. Upon inspection, seems like this piece just isn’t rightly installed or isn’t the right piece at all. Wondering what pieces I need to buy at Home Depot so I can get the sink up and running. Here’s a...

Flushing the toilet causes my kitchen sink to gurgle. The toilet flushes fine. The two have separate pipes running out of the house for the sink and the toilet. I snaked the toilet 25'. I have snaked the vent 25'. I have poured chemicals down the vent. I have called a plumber who didn't think...

My kitchen sink and dishwasher are getting little hot water with very little pressure. The faucet is a single handle faucet and the pressure reduces dramatically when pushing the handle to hot. The dishwasher is only about 2-3 months old has worked fine until now. A little water comes thru...

I installed my new kitchen sink however the drain pipe from the wall and p trap extend past my sink tailpiece. I am not an expert at plumbing- do I need to take out the PVC wye that my dishwasher drain is attached to shorten the drain pipe going into my wall?

Hi All, I am installing a new vanity and sink in my bathroom in a rather old house and I am having some issues finding the necessary pieces to make this work. Below are the details of my situation. I am new to this whole plumbing thing so any advice would be welcomed. Thank you very much! -...

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...

Hi, I am trying to build a portable sink. I bought a EcoPlus 185 Fixed Flow Submersible/Inline Pump 158 GPH - 728300 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018WVNXC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to pump water from a 7 gallon tank I have underneath a sink stand. I have one 6ft...

The spout of our pull-out kitchen sink faucet broke, and we're trying to replace it, but there's no obvious brand marking. It looks like the cartridge works on American Standard, Moen, Danze and a couple others. Inside the handle is the number 069878A, but searching that doesn't turn up any...

Greetings! I have just completed the reinstallation of a garbage disposal into a new stainless sink in our kitchen, and while the install appears to have been successful, I am concerned about one thing. The previous sink into which this disposal was installed was essentially flat on the...

I am in the process of building a tiny house on wheels and just had my plumber finish the drain line. Because we needed to achieve minimum slope downhill, my drain pipe ended up being a bit higher than I wanted. I know have very limited space to work with my kitchen sink. Here is a picture of...

I recently discovered that the vent pipe from my kitchen sink and dishwasher is undersized. The contractor routed what looks like 1" pipe through the wall (presumably because there wasn't enough room to route 2" pipe), which then feeds into a 2" pipe that leaves the house. There is no...

I have an IKEA cabinet that is going to have a sink in it. On the bottom, there is a drawer, for pulling out the garbage can, etc. As you can see from: the drain line doesn't line up with the centerline of the sink. From this second photo: You can see that the drawer is at the same height...

Hi all, I'm in the US, and have a Grohe kitchen sink with a pull-down sprayer. I think it's from the "Concetto" line; not sure, but it's relatively new construction (2014). I need to connect the pull-down hose to a standard USA portable dishwasher from Whirlpool, so I need to find adapters...

I have a double sink, 1 with a Garbage disposal and one is just a sink. Both have a P trap then they Y into the main drain. Did have a plumber at my house to assist on a different job and he noted all the plumbing looked ok including the vent which was one of my concerns/questions but he...

i have a double sink. The left side has my garbage disposal and the right a sink. I also have a dishwasher left of my disposal. A couple of days ago I noticed that the water took a long time to drain and when I ran my disposal the right side sink would fill up. I assume is a partial blockage...

Hello, I have a 3" sewer main with a number of branch waste lines that enter it. 3" lines are rated for 35 DFU maximum. I have added a few fixtures in my basement and elsewhere and am approaching the maximum DFU rating for my main. Recently, I was doing some careful calculation of every...

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...

New to plumbing work, but incredibly interested in anything DIY. Only problem right now is money, but I know it's cheaper to fix things myself, rather than pay a professional to do something I could learn to do myself...that being said, here is my problem: We had our pipes snaked a few weeks...

Hi All, This newbie would appreciate any suggestions. Bought house with super modern stainless steel bathroom sink. When the line connecting the overflow hole to the main drain started leaking, I saw that the previous owners had just jerry-rigged some plastic conduit there, which had cracked...
