I agree with you jadnashua. I've only posted a few threads on Terry's forum, but each time I received excellent solutions. Most times I have my questions answered just by reading other's threads. I think what I'm going to do is replace the tiles with a tub/shower wall surround. I never new...

I'm going to post over on John Bridge also. Thanks for your help guys.

WOW!!! I really didn't think the problem I had was so potentially bad. I thought I'd have an easy permanent fix. I'm almost afraid to pull those loose tiles off, because of what may be revealed. As you might have guessed, I'm no expert, actually I'm just a novice who likes to try things...

I bought the home 2 years ago, and the home is about 50 years old, and we didn't remodel the bathroom. To describe the tile: The same tile (4" x 4") are on all the bathroom walls and inside the shower. To describe what the loose tiles look like: They are still intact, but you can see where...

I was down in my basement the other day. I noticed water leaking onto the basement floor, coming from the area where our shower is located. So, I went upstairs to see if I could find a place where the caulking was ruined, but couldn't find any problems. I did notice some wall tiles (about 5)...

We just had our gas water heater replaced. The water pressure with the old one was strong, but with the new one it seems it has alot less pressure. What would cause this, and how can I fix it?

Yeah, I probably should just do it right the first time. I'm not much of a plumber, but I think I can knock some concrete around and then have someone qualified come in and do the pipe work.

There is nothing else going into that pipe other than the sink, upstairs sink, and shower. I have thought about water going back into the unused portion. I don't really have an answer for that. Don't they make sleeve that can be inserted into the main line to seal leaks? Couldn't I use...

The raised floor is concrete. I have no idea how thick it is, since it was built in the 50's. The basement bathroom has a toilet---connected under the raised concrete to the main drain, and the bathroom sink & upstairs kitchen sink pipe are connected above the raised concrete but go into the...

I noticed a leak under my raised bathroom in the basement. I believe I'm going to have to take a sledge hammer to the concrete raised floor. Is there any way that I could run a new drain without tearing up the cement floor? Too bad they don't make a horizontal or upflush drain for a basement...

I noticed a leak under my raised bathroom in the basement. I believe I'm going to have to take a sledge hammer to the concrete raised floor. Any ideas on that? What would something like this cost? Every drain in the house leads right to this spot. The main pipe, the basement toilet, and the...

Thanks for the help. That was quick, Mike, and appreciated. If I do B, which is seal the leak where the wall meets the floor, which is about 5 feet from the actual basement outside wall, I would prevent the water from coming into my "finished" basement are, but wouldn't (or couldn't) the water...

We bought a home (built in the 50s) last year. There is a bathroom downstairs that is built up from the floor. The shower in it has never been used since we moved in and we had boxes of moving things piled in there. We finally had some time to get to the boxes and I noticed there was quite a...
