    Do I need to pull my well pump???

Several months ago I noticed my pressure tank short cycling (pump up to 60psi, and drop to 40 psi in about 20 seconds). The tank seemed fine and not water logged. I did not...

    Changing Bathroom Fittings

    Bath tub drain has corroded away and is now leaking between the tub and the entire drain body. Plans are to buy new drain insert, replace the pull and turn with the touch toe, and while I'm at it I figured I would re-do and seal the handle and trim behind it, as it's not looking good and is...

    Flapper replaced, still ghost flushes occasionally

    My old flapper was leaking as I flushed, so I got it replaced. I've put a new flapper on the toilet (a Toto 3-inch), but occasionally when I flush it still won't form a tight seal so it'll leak. If I flush it again it usually fixes itself and seals properly. This only happens 30% of the time so...
