overflow

This house was built in the 1950s, but the plate has been as pictured since I moved in, so I'm not sure when it was added. As far as I can tell, it's hard to find square overflow plates, so I assume it's old. I'm not sure how to remove this or find a cover. It's caulked and there just a bolt...

I am having an issue with water overflow on the washer standpipe. We clogged and there wasn't anything blocking the pipe. I tested with the water supply hose for a few mins and ran into no issue. However, depends on the wash cycle, the volume of water discharged from the washer causing overflow...

Hi, I have a midcentury square Cinderella cast iron bathtub whose overflow is like nothing I can find information about online. The brass overflow plate mount threads from the face of the tub into a female elbow pipe located behind the tub. The mount has two screw holes located 2" apart and...

Hi so the other day I took a shower and the downstairs toilet started to overflow. We rented a hundred foot snake and removed the clog . . . everything was working fine. A day and a half later the laundry was running and the downstairs toilet started to Overflow again. Both times when the...

Hello everyone!! My second floor tub leaks out the front of my house when my kids bathe and slosh water to the front of the tub and overflow. I attempted to replace the gasket but this does not look as I expected. Any Idea what is going on? Is this tub failure and the pipe pushed through?

We recently got our tub drain going again, through a nasty sequence of snaking and plunging, which produced a dense, rat-sized hairball and black sludge galore. But finally we have a drain that works like a dream. The overflow plate, which I removed for the auger, had a very corroded gasket...

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...

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to read my post! I have a Kenmore intellisoft 350 series water softner, Model Number: 625383560 I am not a expert in water softeners, i am learning as i go, with that being said; I am having a issue with the brine tank overfilling, the entire tank is full of...

Ok, so after going to the bathroom everything flushes and fills up fine. After a few hours we come home and notice the water level in the toilet bowl has dropped significantly. When we try to flush again; the toilet wants to overflow. Plunging a few times makes the water level drain and the...

I have an older toilet in my apartment. For the last couple of months, every fifth to eighth flush the water will not go down (even if it is just the toilet water in there) and will rise up to the rim and sometimes over. I have to use the plunger to get it to go down, and all I do is give it...

1 year ago as we were buying this house, we found the pvc tube for the humidifier overflow was full and leaking into buckets (see old.jpg). The seller agreed to fix and his HVAC company installed a "V" looking trap (see new-trap.jpg). Fast forward a year to today when I again found the pvc...

Hi All, This newbie would appreciate any suggestions. Bought house with super modern stainless steel bathroom sink. When the line connecting the overflow hole to the main drain started leaking, I saw that the previous owners had just jerry-rigged some plastic conduit there, which had cracked...

Hi y’all, We’re remodeling our bathroom, and we’ve installed an Odensvik sink from Ikea with the Single Handle Pull-Down Faucet from Delta. Most of the bathroom hardware we’re putting in is brass or gold, so we don’t like the Odensvik sink’s chrome drain and overflow ring and want to figure out...

Okay so my washing machine is overflowing the standpipe when it drains, it was doing this a while ago and then it stopped but now it's doing it again. The washing machine is on the main floor in the middle of the house (it is supposed to be for a stackable but my dryer is in the basement), the...

hello! I am remodeling my bathroom and have run into another plumbing "problem".I purchased an Ikea "Braviken" and the overflow mechanism is not exactly standard. The problem; I love the faucet I purchased but, as usual, it has the overflow holes in the drain stem that the Ikea sink does not...
