I thought the same thing... and i am just the homeowner. I bought this house a few months ago. The home is 2years old and i can only assume that a plumber or the builder did this shoddy work. This bathroom is located on the second floor of the home. So i guess the ceiling from below and the...

Bump... Anyone?

Hello all, I recently bought a two year old home, thinking I would have less problems with it than my last home that was 59years old. Well, first time I tried to use the shower in the master bathroom I noticed that the show drain sits above the shower pan by almost an 1/8th of an inch. I asked...

updates Well, It's been less than a year and I am currently finishing up the remodel of the main bathroom. I purchaced yet another toto "SG". The only thing I didn't get again was the toto soft close toliet seat. That thing although nice to look at, dosen't show promise to last but a year or...

I have it, I have used it. I do see both advantages and disadvantages to just for copper. advantage if you can't sweat copper than this product is a god send. Also, if you can't safely sweat a pipe i.e. a joist is too close or you can't get the heat close enough this product works great. My...

the only thing you could possibly use on a 2" pipe would be a macerator toilet.

I though about the off center idea and that's probley what I will be doing being the toilet will be up on a platform anyways. Am I correct about the 3x3x2 "y" laying horrozontal, is this a no no? I am assuming that It would require a pitch so that waste wouldn't back up in to the vent but what...

The drawing is very close to what is existing in the house. This is how the house was plumbed back then in 1948.If the vent for the toilet on the main wouldn't work. What type of fitting could I use to get the required vent on the new toilet line and still be able to have the toilet flange...

could also be the mixing valve located on the top of the washing maching tub. It's a tiny plastic peice that looks like an cone and surrounded by a rubber sheath. the sheath could be your problem. after time it drys out and cracks and then leaks causing the puddle you are noticing.

I took better photos of the main stack yesterday and the vent pipe in my front lawn. As soon as I get them develped I will post the new photos. Hopefully some one has a good idea
