Just saw an ad on TV for these, but I wonder if this can be true? If so, it could be the plumbing miracle all homeowners have been waiting for! All you have to do is drop one these into the trap once per month and you'll never get a clogged drain again. And, the sink/drain will smell great!

Hello Forum! It's been a while! I've had several other home projects (non-plumbing related) that have kept me very busy. One major update was excavating the entire rear foundation of my home, ripping out the original bulkhead entrance and replacing with a precast unit! It came out great but...

Hello Forum! During my summer project dubbed "Cast Iron Man", where I'm going to attempt to replace all the CI in my house with PVC, I'm going to run a proper vent for my basement sump pit. I believe I need to have a separate vent (not connected to the existing roof vent) that goes from the...

Hello forum, I'm considering taking on a rather large project here and I'm wondering if it's possible to do this on my own. What I have is a 1948 Cape with 1 full bath (upstairs) and 1/2 bath downstairs. In order to get to the stack, I will have to demo 1 wall in the 1/2 bath downstairs, and...

Hello, I'm wondering if AquaPEX tubing is compatible with the Manabloc manifold system? The internets is a mix of yes and no when it comes to this. It seems like the inner/outer diameter of the AquaPEX tubing is the key here. If not, is anyone here familiar with ProPEX manifolds? Thank...

Hey Folks! So, here's a picture of the leaking faucet: Is there a tool I need to get under the sink to tighten this up? Or, should I just remove and replace the entire thing? Some idiot clamped a pair of vice grips just below the handle and tried to fix it that way. All that did was...

Hi folks! It's been a while, hope everyone is doing well. I haven't had many plumbing projects to report on, but I can tell you a lot about Carpenter Ants! :mad: Anyway, I'm putting things back together now that the ants have been taken care of, and I'm looking to replace this old baseboard...

Hey guys, As you can see by the amount of posts on Plumbingforums.com, my house is a disaster area! Anyway, I noticed a small amount of water puddled near my boiler, and it is coming from the top of this TACO air vent: I though this device was supposed to purge air from the forced hot...

Hi Folks, I put this here because it seemed like it would be most appropriate section - hope this is OK. Last year, I installed a new sump basin and pump in my basement. I replaced an existing 'pit' which consisted of a plastic planter and a 1/3hp pump that was discharging into the sewer...

Happy Holidays Everyone! So, My upstairs bathroom sink drains terribly slow, and now has standing water. I've taken apart the trap and it is very clean, and I also tried using a wet vac to clear any block, with no luck. Here is a picture of the plumbing (not sure if this will help)...

So, I noticed that the wall under my bathroom sink (top floor, within the vanity) was wet. It looked like it was coming from the hot water supply line, but I couldn't really see any signs of leaking on the visible part, so I opened up the wall. It turns out that most of the wall was wet, and...

I'm wondering if there is anything I need to do to the 2" PVC that will be coming up through the concrete slab in my basement floor? I have a section of floor that I broke apart to repair, and I'm wondering if I can just pour the concrete right around it, or if it needs to be wrapped/sleeved...

The hose hanging of fthe edge of my brand new Mustee utility sink is just ugly. I've seen a couple options out there for this problem, like this: (reviews say that this doesn't work well at all) And, Mustee sells this attachment, which I'm thinking about: (I'm not sure how to attach a...

Hello Forum, thank you in advance for your help. I am looking to replace the soap stone utility sink that is in my basement, discharge the sump pump outside the house (installing a new basin w/cover.), and I am debating whether or not I should drain the washing machine into the new utility...
