Not sure this the right forum but in the house we just purchased, 2017 build, we noticed that there is a siren like sound when the upstairs or downstairs showers or any of the the toilets are flushed. the sound comes from the water main where the supply enters the house. I can also feel the...

Thanks, so I guess hard water is destroying the cartridge, strange.

I am getting so tired of the hard water deposits on everything. We remodeled the kitchens and bathrooms and we have to wipe down all the granite as if water drys it will etch the granite and leave a faint round mark, same on the stainless steel. I would like to be able to use the water and not...

I have a KWC Eve Faucet in the kitchen, installed 3 years ago. After year 1 we noticed a drip of water on the counter top under where the cartridge and handle are located. KWC sent a new cartridge, I replaced it used the plumbers grease on the I ring and reinstalled. Well 2 years later same...

Update, I replaced the two tank bolts and placed a rubber gasket/nut/washer on the bottom of the tank also, a tip I found on-line. So I decided before re-installing on the bowl I will put on top of a 5 gal. bucket, fill the tank and see if the gaskets leak. So far the tank bolts are not...

Is the flush valve but the big white one on the bottom of the tank? If so I did not. I am wondering if there is a leaking seal as the toilet was in use for 7 years without and issue, then sat in the garage for over a year during the remodel. I have installed many toilets but never had a leak...

I installed a Toto Drake three days ago and I haven't been seeing leaking on the left-hand bolt it's a slow drip. I pulled the tank replace the rubber washers in the tank tighten everything back up again and this morning I've got dripping from the left side of the tank near the water supply...

Ok had a leak at the tank bolts. I guess I should have replaced the 7 year old rubber gaskets that dried out for a year. Drained the tank replaced the rubber gaskets. Back to watching. Did I miss anything.

Thx terry! Just wanted to make sure I did not miss anything. Is the dap bright white tub and bath caulk in the red and white tube okay for toilet bowl?

Ok it's been a while since I have put one in. We just had the bathroom retailed on the first floor, the flange is 5/8" below the tile surface. So I used a thick wax ring with the plastic flange in it and a regulare wax ring. When I stacked them it was almost 2"which I thought was too much so I...

Well, it does not appear to be dripping. I don't like the look of the extra white tape, looks sort or homeowener DIYer ; ) If I decide to redo it, would you use paste or tape? If tape should I fold it in half and wrap once? The only pain is I have to disconnect the entire p-trap to...

It's not the Mack washer. There was some mineral deposits around the tailpiece connection, and it was a bit loose. So should I take this apart again and redo it?

I installed the sink about a year ago, looked under the sink and the tail piece looks like it has a tiny leak where it threads into the drain (the part that attaches to the bottom of the sink). So I took it off and the p-trap, cleaned everything off. I applied some oatey pipe compount...

I did not mean to cause any issues about the job. I was just wondering what the cost to do this repair/replacement would be. Heck now I am wondering if I just should have had the service replaced? Since the leak was found right under the front of the house right behind the hose clamp...
