drain

This is the cap covering the drain that I am supposed to use for my water heater. But I can’t get it out. I have removed all of the screws from the flange, but the white part still won’t come out. Help

Hi. Do you all think these sinks are going to drain? Image file attached... I'm concerned the arms coming off the drain are too horizontal... And is the single trap below them ok? Guess I may as well test it at this point... Thanks, Nate

Greetings all, I am replacing the rubber gasket and putty in my cast iron bathtub to stop a leak and notified that the tub itself has a corroded spot (to the left in the picture.) Is there a way to repair that or how should I prevent a leak in the future? Thanks in advance!

We just bought a house that was built in 1959. The washer drain is overflowing. The pipe is 1.5", which I know 2" is ideal. How much of the pipe has to be replaced? I ask, because only a few feet are above the concrete and I don't want to get into busting up concrete. Are there any other...

Im getting ready to run the drain for my basement bathroom but I'm concerned that I have too many turns in the tub drain. I had to start in the wrong direction in order to pick up a wall for a vent. Is this a problem, does it meet code? A second set of eyes on this would really be appreciated.

Hello, I've been working towards trying find the best way to route and vent this bathroom layout. I've been reading the code and checking examples and think I found a good way but I'm a novice and would like a sanity check before I start so that it passes inspection. My main concern is if I...

Couple weeks ago we got a new tub installed. I wasn't seeing any issues with bathing a toddler in shallow water, but last night I filled it up and took a bath and heard drip...drip... ran out and look to find a decent leak around the shoe fitting of the drain. Plumber is coming back out Monday -...

Hello Forum! I need your kind advice I live in appartement complex, mid level floor. I got complaints from my upstairs neighbors that their "under sink" (there's some kind of hole below their sink) stinks and that their plumber said the smell must be coming from the apartment below. It is very...

From what I understand, it's generally safe to say that gurgling from a drain signals a venting issue. I'm looking for ideas to help diagnose which of two possibilities is in play. Feel free to suggest other possibilities that I have not considered. Possibility 1 - Negative pressure but with...

I have a fiberglass shower on a second floor that has sprung a leak - see photos below. What do I need to do to correct this problem? The lock-ring that is visible from the top of the shower reads: Caspers Industries Oakland CA No. 101-PS ABS IAMPO Use glue only. Warning: Do not use oil base...

I have a small landscaped area that pools water and has some seepage from the groundwater. The sump pump is the Zoeller 108-0001 craw space kit with the M53 pump, slotted pit, and 1 1/2 inch connections, and I got the Zoeller 30-0181 check valve. They'll be arriving Friday and I want to make...

New member here. I know HVAC, but nothing about plumbing. Here's my problem: I own a '98 double wide. Nothing has been done to the plumbing since I bought the house. The washer we've had for 3 years has always drained fine, but made the sink make a horrible gurgling noise . The other day, while...

Hello all, new member here. I live in Southern California. We are going to have a bathroom moved from one interior part of the house to another part which will be against an outside wall. It was suggested that sink, shower, and toilet drains can be vented out the wall instead of through the...

I am in the process of roughing in my cabin in WV. I am far away from a plumbing inspection, but while the inspector was there today inspecting framing (he inspects everything but electrical), he said my laundry/lav drain was not correct. I was not there and the builder was relaying what he said...

Hello, I'm no pro so sorry if there are any mistakes in terminology. I'm about to rent an old house in Norway. The shower there looks as terrible as the smell which comes from the drain. The sink and toilet are ok. Could you please advise if the drain in the picture looks altight and if the...

I bought this house 3 years ago. The house was built in 1962. The previous owner of the house lived here for 30 years she didn't know what it was. It's some sort of cast iron basin/trap that is not connected to my ejector pit or my sump pump. When it rains hard it starts to fill up, both areas...

I think my mother in law broke the toe tap drain on my tub while she is coming to visit us. I do not take baths (I take showers), so I do not care. However, my wife does and she is probably gonna freak out when she realizes her spa tub is useless since she cannot stop the drain anymore and...

I have had sewer gas leaking into my basement for a while now. I have narrowed it down to the laundry room where there is a 4" clay p trap in the concrete, drain on one side and a cleanout cover on the other. I think this is the culprit but not entirely sure. Also on the drain side is my...

My toilet and shower is 6 feet apart from each other. I also have a separate tub and two sinks in the bathroom. If the shower is running and then I flush the toilet, the water slowly comes to the top but doesn't overflow. This has been going on for over a year. I would think if it's a...

My plumber says the height of the drain from the kitchen above is correct. Maybe I’m over-thinking the height but I think it should be 12″ from the floor not 32″ as shown in the picture on the left hand side. My concern the bathroom sink drain is below the kitchen drain. Is he right?
