Such destruction and theft is terrible. If they can't eat it or screw it they just destroy it!. It's ridiculous to go into a stall and find that some idiot pissed all over the toilet seat.
Get a garden hose in the pipe and turn it on. If water does not overflow out of it then it is either clear or you cleaned it out with the hose.

Here is my two cents. I hope this will help you some.
You could go to a craft or hobby shop and buy some sheet styrene. Cut some strips, slob some glue on and shove it in. It should never move, rot or rust. You could also go the the meet counter and...
OH BOY! This is THE MOST important part of preparing a solder joint. When I worked as a plumber at Purdue University they had the COPPER ASSOCIATION come and do a hands on training session. When...
Wrap some wet rags around a garden hose and turn it on to see if it will blow it free. They do make garden hose jetters too. One for that size pipe will be around 30 bucks. Try the hose first. ...
Are your kids splashing water wildly around? A new tub toy?
I sold one to a guy that has a plumbing company in Sapulpa, OK. He said it was a great idea and was pretty eager to try it out. I guess he is just as retarded as I am. Like any other good tool, it...
I know your head won't go through 3/4 inch anything because I run with a 3/8 inch cable with the head cut off. I chose to make them out of 1 inch copper because most people would not think about...

Here is something I invented from my resin casting ideas. I call it the ROOTER BUDDY. I work on a college campus. This kind of installation is the norm and a real pain in the ass to...
I would keep the hot water line at 3/4 inch. When you pipe the hot water to the far right tub I would add a 3/8 copper line and return it back to the bottom of the water heater. This is called a...
I personally have no idea why there is some kind of drain hole. You did a great job of cleaning it up.. Those scotch brite pads are really good to use. Those Scotch sure are smart LOL. I use them...
I think the sole reason these things even exist is to protect the potable water inlet supply in the event that the contents of the dishwasher were somehow sucked back into the water main. This is...
Hi Carlo,
You might think about resin or some kind of rubber. You could consult with Polytek or Smooth-on. They make all kinds of materials for movie props and making body parts that can look...
My father In Law had a similar situation. Try this:
1. Remove the tub spout and cap it off with a hosebib or valve with a elbow pointing down. Put a bucket under it.
2. Remove the shower...
Stay away from big box store water heaters! I had a GE electric one that did not last six months.
Toilets are like coffee pots. Use some kind of delimer such as CLR or Zepp makes a great product or use vinegar to clean it. There might be a tree root ball growing in the drain pipe just under the...

I was on a quest to find a plunger to replace my old Sexauer BULLDOG plunger. I decided to make my own. I am sure you will find this entertaining. Go...
I'm from Indiana and I sure do miss PIZZA KING PIZZA!!
I know this is an old post but since I am bored and it is late I will give you and anyone else an idea about removing clean out plugs. ...
The only lubricant I know for this kind of work would be ELBOW GREASE. But it does not really exist. It is just a saying There is a guy in the shop at work that we are pretty certain got a serious...
I learned this in plumbing school.
Back in the colonial days bundles of manure were put in the bottom of boats and hauled around for fertilizer for delivery. Well, as old boats do, they leak. ...
This seems really absurd. If it is water coming out of your own well what do they care how much water you use! This seems like another BIG BROTHER INTRUSION! I am certainly no fan of wireless...
