I would be thinking 100% Silicone on that. Too bad it can't be sealed from the outside. Water pushing up against the foundation is hard to seal. ...

I would think so. Having a leak after a repair? How would anyone stay in business? Any good service plumber will be dependable. When I was...

It depends on the valve. Some of the Home Depot stuff years ago had a tollerence of 1/8" Something like Moen may have 3/4", and if they are...

You may want to open the wall and see what can be changed there. If there is any way to lower the drain, or if not, get a shallower sink. First...

Since the advent of check valved water meters we are doing more and more expansion tanks on our water heater installs. Some parts of Seattle have...

The tank is coupled closely by the bowl, rather than having the tank mounted on a wall, and a chrome bend connecting the two. All of the II...

TOTO works with the Gerberit in-wall system too. The TOTO bowls come with Sanagloss, so I would be inclined to go that route. Though it's going to...

A typical rough opening is whatever the pan or tub is, plus 1/4" Sometimes it's larger than that. A layer of drywall or backer board is 1/2"...

For some reason the online shipments have a lot more of that. The stuff we pick up locally is perfect. The stuff I used to ship was 20% bad...

Putting in more zones always helps. The family home I installed uses five zones. 3/4" meter and 1.5" PVC pipe for the first 250 feet, and then it...

That is Uponor PEX, (previously Wirsbo) It's the brand that I use. It uses an expansion tool.

It locks in the temperature.

The first place I would look is the tub waste and overflow. Most leaks happen there, and they are the easiest to fix. If you have water below the...

That's a Moen Posi-Temp. The handle rotates to the left, getting hotter the farther left it goes. There is no volumn adjustment on those.

You leave 2" on the top and 2" on the bottom of the floor joist, drilling in the middle portion.
