shower

We are new-ish home owners and noticed some peeling caulk/putty on our shower pan drain. I watched some videos which made it seem like peeling "outer" rim is caulking that wasn't wiped off when the drain was installed. However I can't figure out why on earth they caulked the inner part unless...

Can someone help me identify the fixation ring or the pressure balancing valve on this shower valve. I don’t have any numbers. It’s an American Standard Valve. The trim kit is Seva. It’s approximately 15 years old. I’ve looked many places and cannot find the identical shape that matches the...

Hey everyone, thanks in advance for any help you can offer Right now this shower won’t turn off. In the OFF position, it will fully flow cold water. When I then turn the knob ON, it will flow hot water as well. Turn the knob off again and it will go back to cold. To stop the flow i turned off...

We have a mystery. The upstairs shower is not draining, and is completely clogged. The house is 8 years old, connected to city sewer, with no known problems downstream. All other drains in the house, including the downstairs shower, show no signs of problems. When I plunged this drain, it...

So I have a single knob shower faucet that is leaking bad. I dont see any brand name on it or any info at all. I want to fix it but have no clue on what part i need for the core. Also i removed the center screw from the handle and it doesn't come off. Could it just be stuck or is there something...

I'm trying to source an old shower valve to replace the ancient one that has met it's end of life. Any ideas where I could find one of these? If I can't find one it's going to require ripping out the ancient tile that I probably can't fine either. Joy of an old house. See the pic attached...

Hi , My Moen Bathtub/ shower faucet Cartridge is Leaking and the valve is damaged too. Please see the attached pictures. 1. I did put a new cartridge but it is still leaking. I lost the retainer clip. You think is that the reason for leak? 2. Observe that valve where cartridge goes is...

Hello all! I recently decided to take on the job of replacing the shower fixtures (save for the shower head) in my grandparents’ guest bathroom. The house was built in 1984 and still has its Delta 600 series shower handle and all. I’ve done my research and gotten all of my tools and materials...

I am new to DIY plumbing projects. I am replacing the hot water cartridge in my shower but can not get it installed correctly as no matter what I seem to do the hot water will not turn off at the faucet once I turn the hot water on in the basement. I am open to any and all suggestions...

Since this issue straddles a few areas I thought I’d start here. I have an outdoor shower that my contractor connected to the new septic system he installed. That’s the code here. The problem is that I now have septic odors coming from the shower drain. Can I install a backwater valve to...

Hello all, I live in a relatively old building and am trying to replace the shower handle as it is damaged. It's not leaking, just the handle doesn't stay on when turning it. There's no brand markings so I don't know the model type. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

So here's my problem: My shower head was leaking after the faucet was turned off. Not where the head connects to the pipe coming out of the wall, but out of the fixture itself. The head was fifteen years old so I decided to replace it but the new head has the exact same problem. Any ideas how...

After each time we use our shower (2 - 3x/day), a SOUR smell emerges - not sure if from the drain directly or somewhere else. The shower is enclosed, though we have a window in the bathroom. See example of the style (not the actual shower). It can be a faint or strong smell, depending on the...

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with this one. We replaced an old American Standard shower faucet with a Moen 3520 valve and T3291 Trim. I was about to start drywalling the wall up when I noticed water dripping from the screws... A few days went by and I noticed that water is also...

We just got our bathroom remodeled, and a new shower built, and while sealing the grout I noticed that the Cast Iron drain was already rusting. We only used the shower once to test the faucet. What should we do? Is there any way to stop the spreading of rust? Taken through the drain cover...
