Hi John. I have a standard basin wrench but this nut is too wide and thin for it. I guess it's not obvious from the picture. I can come back with a rough diameter laterbit I think it is around 2 1/2 inches

Hoping someone out there can recognize this... I'm trying to remove an old faucet from this sink and ive run into an interesting thin nut that is caulked in place. Is there a special wrench out there that would fit what is in the picture? Thanks alot!

Big delay on the update, but I figured I owe one. I did some more exploring. The issue was actually a leak in one of the pvc joints in the wall of the floor above. I had to remove the Tub and quite a bit of drywall to find it. There was a small leak causing gradual water build up every time the...

After my diy struggle I called in a pro he was pretty sure its ground water and recommended a sump pump to fix the issue. Im going to go ahead with that and hopefully my worries are over. Ill follow up when the water is gone. Thanks for your help. It looks like you were right plumb-crazy.

Plumb-Crazy, Thanks so much for the advice. I'll do some clearing out tonight and some additional investigation into the leak before I start taking out PVC. The tub doesn't shift at all, I was just wanting to make sure I don't repeat the mistakes that caused this and thought that could be a...

Plumb-Crazy, Thanks for taking the time to respond. I thought that (newly learned term, thanks to you)air admittance valve looked fishy. Where is the best place to bring it out to? Should it be brought out to an external wall or up into the attic? Any advice for the repair of the leak?

Hello everyone, I discovered an interesting situation in my basement this weekend. Apparently my tub has been leaking over the course of the last few months and I discovered a nice mold growth along with the leak. It looks like the p-trap for the tub was never backfilled with concrete after...
