    Lady needs help with kitchen faucet!

    Hello, As I was making biscuits, eggs and bacon this morning, I noticed water on the floor. I checked under the sink and found a leak. I can see where it's leaking from but how do I fix it? I will add a pic.

    Dry Dirt in Sewer Line - New House

    Thanks! The builder sent out the original plumber and he snaked between the house and city sewer. The sewer drain runs trough my back yard instead of the street but a big access manhole is my backyard. It's ugly but also helpful. The obstruction was indeed moved from one spot to the other but I...

    Dry Dirt in Sewer Line - New House

    They all had rubber caps with metal rings that tighten with screws. I pulled off the one closest to the house and toilet paper and other yuck came bubbling out. Next I removed the third cap (furthest from the house) and it was all clear. I opened the middle one and it was full of dirt (almost...

    Dry Dirt in Sewer Line - New House

    When I was washing clothes the commodes began to bubble and bathtubs backed up with water and garage got some water. My house is less than a year old. Did some research that suggested the problem was in the main sewer line. I have three sewer line cleanouts; two regular and one larger. The...
