I'm a newbie here and wanted to get some guidance on what the proper way of moving the toilet pvc drain 5 inches to the left and 5 inches up. This is a DIY. Would love to get some feedback on the proper steps like cutting the floor, what to pitfalls to look out for as far as when the drain is...

Hello, Thank you in advance for your answers. My questions is, when one looks at the pvc pipe and water pipe in the picture below, which direction, intuitively, should the toilet go? to the right of the picture or pointing down the picture? Thank you, J

Is this going to cause any issues?

I have a mobile home where the sink, toilet, and tub on one side of my house won’t drain properly. The sewage line goes from that side of the house to the opposite side and from there to the main sewage line for my street. All other sinks, toilet and tub in the house drain just fine. the sink...

I am sure I’m just a novice and can’t figure out what is wrong. I moved into a newly built home in October. Our downstairs toilet is a Kholer K39990 I think. It keeps running on its own every hour or so. My quick research said to replace the black rubber piece under the cap. Tried that to no...

Hard to describe the noise but my toilet makes this engine sound after I flush. It doesn’t sound like foghorn or hissing to me but please have a listen the video I posted. I found some videos on YouTube which suggested this could be from vibration noise from toilet water valve due to air...

Hello Everyone. New to the forum with a curious situation. I live on the first floor of a two family house I bought five years ago. About a month and a half ago I’ve noticed air bubbles coming from my bathroom toilet when being flushed. I didn’t think nothing of it until the bubbles were...

I recently discovered sewage in the P trap beneath my tub. The tub drain line connects to the main sewer at a junction just beneath the toilet before the sewer line drops to its lowest point and passes out of the house. If there's sewage in the tub P trap, I suspect that means there's a...

Hello all. I am finishing up a bathroom in our basement and we were "lucky" to have a rough in already in place. According to blueprints it was 3 pipes. 1 for shower with built in trap, 1 toilet, and 1 sink. We did not add a shower so that one is capped and unused. We added a toilet and a...

Hello. I recently extended a bathroom in a rental property by a few feet and moved the toilet across the room to the other side of the wall. After putting the subfloor back on and installing the new toilet it doesn't flush very well. Toilet paper does goes down but not very well. I installed a...

Is it okay to clamp a plastic toilet water supply hose shut? The shutoff valve is old and doesn't close all the way, so I was wondering if I could just clamp the supply hose shut to install something above the hose. I don't know if the hose would break in a clamp, and couldn't find anything...

Was attempting to set up my bidet at my new apartment in a very old building. Cranked the stop for the toilet until it should be good and closed; she's still flushing. Tightened the central screw-still flushing. The supply is an exposed pipe running along the baseboard, and it gets tapped for...

Is it normal that when i turn off the main water supply to the house, that hot water then continues to run into the toilet? The water is not normally hot, but i had to replace the tap by the toilet, and it was in doing this that i turned off the main water to unscrewed the tap, then whilst the...

Hello all. Ive been having a problem with my toilet and was hoping to get some help. My toilet has been making a constant nonstop hissing noise. I tried tightening the screw on the fill valve holding the float, but ran into another problem. By tightening the screw, I am lowering the waterline...

I just replaced an old toilet with a American Standard Champion toilet, nothing wrong with old one besides discoloration and never had this problem. After the toilet is flushed it seems to go to proper level when fill valve shuts off as shown in picture1, then over time the level goes to...

Hi, About 4 years ago, we purchased one of the Costco Water Ridge 2pc toilets that seemed well rated at the time. We got permission to use it in our apartment as we needed the higher seat. After we installed it, a few unrelated toilet line plumbing issues came up in the building. A plumbing...

This had happened several times but not every time... when I drain the tub I'll see a pool of water around the toilet on the floor. The only time it happens is when I drain the tub... Any ideas? Thank you so much for any help or advice! I don't want to stop taking baths, lol

Greetings. We’re looking to install a glass shower enclosure in a corner in a guest bath in a California. The existing space we have to work with is ‘very’ tight in all directions (see attached plan). When I Google the minimum allowed size, most of the home improvement websites cite 30” x 30”...

Not a plumber here, but man have I got a problem! Built this house (someone else did) almost 9 years ago. Had him put all the fixtures for water for a basement bathroom (thinking ahead) So we eventually did put in a bathroom, with toilet, shower and sink. Also a washer. He called the pump a...

Hi, Having a weird problem with my toilet. Sometimes when I flush it the flush becomes a bit anemic and the tank doesn't refill right away. If I look in the tank it is only half full. Then at some point later, maybe 15 min. or a couple of hours, 8 hours or even 24 hrs. I hear a loud sound...
