sink

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...

Hi there, I was wondering how I go about stopping the gurgling from this sink. It only happens when I drain this sink and nothing else in the house. From what I've read it is to do with a vent. Lately it has become worse and I have been given the task to fix it by my dearest. I have been told...

Hi y’all, We’re remodeling our bathroom, and we’ve installed an Odensvik sink from Ikea with the Single Handle Pull-Down Faucet from Delta. Most of the bathroom hardware we’re putting in is brass or gold, so we don’t like the Odensvik sink’s chrome drain and overflow ring and want to figure out...

Just moved into new apartment, 2nd floor of a 3 story brownstone (3 single bedroom apartments total). Water pressure in bathroom sink is terrible. Approx. 20% flow on both hot and cold. Bathroom shower has good pressure and toilet fills correctly. Pressure has no change when running hot and...

Hello, I just found this forum now. I am in an apartment building and bought a 2-sink bowl (ikea double sink DOMJSO). Initially I thought I would just have some kind of splitter into the single drain. The plumber said that those types of splitters are much more likely to leak and it's better...

hello! I am remodeling my bathroom and have run into another plumbing "problem".I purchased an Ikea "Braviken" and the overflow mechanism is not exactly standard. The problem; I love the faucet I purchased but, as usual, it has the overflow holes in the drain stem that the Ikea sink does not...
