Wrap the shower arm threads with teflon tape, and coat tape with rector seal, now thread it in. The tape should make the fit a bit more snug so you can stop it at the correct position. Matt

Good way to tell if it's clogged, get a 5 gallon bucket, fill it with water, and dump it down the toilet. If it sucks right down, you know the bowl is clear. If it's still not flushing properly when you flush it with the handle, it could be a problem with the toilet itself. A lot of...

I'm assuming you have an exterior clean out in the yard for the sewer line? Obviously the line needs to be snaked / cleared. I would definitely go light on the water usage til you can get a drain guy there. You could try a pressure bag that can be bought at Home Depot or Lowes. You...
