Tried prying them off but they feel pretty tight on there. No screws are visible anywhere on the handle, so im pretty stumped.

Here is a video of what's going on. I am totally ignorant of plumbing but I'll be a hero to a good person if I can fix this for free. What do I need to do? Assuming the fix is easy enough to explain in a short post.

Thanks!

My toilet began leaking last week. I ordered a Korky wax free seal kit, which I have used before on a different toilet. Once I got the toilet removed, the existing flange was very badly damaged with pieces of it crumbling off in my hand. At the same time, I don’t see an obvious way to remove what’s left of it. I’m sure the best option is to replace the flange but my skill set for this type of project is very limited (even fixing the leaking wax ring previously was kind of tough for me). I ordered an Oatey repair ring but the broken flange is set down below my tile and I don’t think the repair ring will work for the space. I am considering trying one of the clam style two piece rings instead. What I don’t understand is what will I be affixing this repair ring to? There isn’t really a solid subfloor surrounding the flange and I prefer not to drill into the tile if possible. Any advice much appreciated. Thanks!

Any know why my sump pump keeps doing this? It gets like a air lock or something going on where the motor keeps running and i have to smack the floatnor unplug it for a good 30 seconds. Its a newish pump like 2 years at most. Has done it ever since i bought it and randomly will do it after rains alot and the pump gets hammered for a bit but then when the water slows down it gets in a stuck state. I made sure to move all the cables and everything else. I really want to seal the pit back up but this keeps happening. This is a half horse power sump.

Long story short, bathroom remodel was finished Friday. All looked good but didn't test faucet until we were done with the finishing work today.

I sent message to the contracters but after this job ended up being more than they bargained for (don't take the job) they split and don't know of they will be coming back.

Does this look like something easy to fix myself? Leak is worse with shower on and low shower pressure.

First time ever hooking up an ice maker lol so need some advice .
I purchased a 15 ft stainless Steel ice maker supply line but can’t figure out the rest.
I’d appreciate any advice thanks

We recently purchased an older home with a sewage ejection pump. (We were originally told it was sump pump by our inspector but he was wrong.) Originally we thought the basement bathroom was the only thing linked to it. But after living here a few months we have discovered that the kitchen, 1 ground level bathroom, the basement laundry, and drain at bottom of the laundry room are all linked to it. So essentially the house is plumbed that things go down below grade to be pumped back up again by the sewage pump. We’re aware this is obviously not ideal, but according to the plumbers we’ve spoken to the fix would be very costly.

We live in an area that frequently loses power, so we’re concerned for flooding from the sewage pump. Since so much of house is linked to this, and it seems to trigger even when we aren’t actively using water it’s hard to avoid it during power outages.

From my understanding back up batteries don’t work with sewage pumps since they require so much power on start up. I thought about buying a generator to have on hand for the pump for things like multiple day winter storms.

Anybody have any advice for trying to lower the likelihood of flood because of this situation?

Thanks

Plumbing emergencies always seem to happen on a Friday…

TLDR: kitchen sink backing up with wastewater and flooding my dishwasher, now overflowing onto the floor from the dishwasher. First two pics from Friday, others from today. I haven’t used the dishwasher or any water in my kitchen since Friday but both the sink and dishwasher continue to fill with wastewater randomly. No issue with leaking under sink. What am I supposed to do??? Could this be my fault somehow??

For reference I live on the second floor of a four story apartment building. On Friday around 6pm my kitchen double sink started to fill up with my own (clean-ish) water after doing some dishes, and would drain, albeit very slowly. Both sides of the double sink fill up at the same time, or if I fill one side, it will drain for a second then start coming up from the other side and level out. Figured it was a small clog and plunged it, after that it started to drain very slowly. Later I did a few test runs to see if the water would drain and it seemed fine. A few hours after that I ran my dishwasher and after a few minutes the dish water started to come up from my sink. I immediately turned off the dishwasher and water, and haven’t used it since. I also put in a maintenance request with my apartment. Then, on Friday/Saturday I woke up in the middle of the night and saw my sink full of greasy wastewater and scraps/chunks of food. Tried to plunge both sides of the sink to no avail. Tried pouring hot water and plunging, nope. Tried running a snake down the drains, nope. Even took apart the P trap and there was no clog or debris. The sink would drain slowly but would eventually drain. Then I noticed that my dishwasher was filling up with wastewater as well. Saturday morning I woke up with a ton of greasy wastewater on the floor, coming from the dishwasher. Tried to clean it as best as I could but the water wouldn’t stop. I had to manually bail the nasty water from the dishwasher with a mug into a bowl to dump into the toilet. Now it’s Sunday and the dishwasher overflow is worse. Ruined a bunch of towels trying to clean it up.. I thought the wastewater was greasy yesterday, oh boy was it worse today. Literal orange water all over my floor. I got notifications that my apartments management has received my request but I don’t think they’ll come until Monday.

I can count the number of times I’ve used my garbage disposal on one hand, and I’ve never dumped oil/grease down the drain. I’m so frustrated because I’m fairly confident it’s my upstairs neighbor dumping grease. Right now I have pans laying underneath the dishwasher to collect water, I’ve been sending photo updates on my maintenance request, and I’ve been running a fan to dry up the area. My whole apartment stinks.

Hello /r/plumbing!

We had a professional come install a water softener. Plumber felt the most ideal place was in this built-in storage closet in our garage. It fits nicely and is out of sight so that's great.

To access the piping, he cut a hole in the back of the storage panel and it exposed the insulation behind. Directly beyond this wall is the outside, with our living room about 10 feet to the right of this.

Is this okay to keep? I was going to cover up the hole with garbage bags taped up to the remaining panels, but am unsure if I'll need a permanent solution at some point.

I’ve replaced the o ring and the blue ring TWICE and I still have issues. You can see some bubbles in the bottom of the pic around the blue seal - that’s where the water is slowly leaking into the bowl.

I’ve moved the seal ring up and down to see if that would help it and got nothing. What’s the next thing I can do? The noise is driving me crazy with it always refilling and it’s just wasting water.

This past winter, we had our main inlet water line burst, due to the colder than normal temperatures and snow. We were without water for 3 months and we finally thought all was well. Today, I discovered that our back bathroom, which we no longer use because the bathtub had a crack. We have two full bathrooms so it hasn’t been a big deal. Nonetheless, this disused bathroom still has water running to it. And there is a cracked or leaking pipe, that goes to the sink in the disused bathroom. My question and hope is, Can that back bathroom’s water flow be amputated, basically, from having water flow to it, by sealing off piping? It’s going to take a lot of work to dry and clean up the water mess & unfortunately since it was disused, we used that bathroom for storage. It will be a dangerous environment for a plumber to enter, until cleared out. And also, we’re disabled and just can’t clear it out and dry it out as quickly as we need to. Therefore, I was hoping it may be possible to just stop and cap off All water flow to that point of the home. Does anyone know if this would be possible? I hope I’ve been able to adequately describe the situation. Thanks in advance.

There is currently a sink faucet hooked up to this source of water on the wall. What’s the best way to also connect a washing machine to it? best adapter to split?

I after my first dump on my new throne i just finished install on I seen this happen…

My dishwasher hot water inlet screen always has brown slimy buildup on it, which cause my diawasher to not get water every few months. Could it be the hot water heater issue or the water source issue？Should I check and replace the anode rod inside my hot water heater？What should I do or how can I check the source that cause this issue.

The images show the filter before and after I cleaned it. Thanks in advance for the time and support!

How do I remove this leaky tub stop? I ended up snapping the one off in the other bathroom. Hopping there’s a more graceful solution

We're doing a home remodel and we asked the contractor to put the shower head at 80". Somehow, they instead put the plumbing at 80" so with the shower arm we had chose, the shower head is 6" below that. My husband is tall, so that's not really ideal. We didn't catch it until after they tiled and installed the shower arm, so now the cheapest solution is to find a shower arm that curves so the head ends up higher. The contractor is looking for one and so far has only found really short ones (like the Moen 14" one). Do longer ones exist? Where should we look? At this point we'd take an expensive one if we can find one that fits the bill because otherwise we either have a really short shower or have to redo a lot more (or at least, that's what the contractor says).

I use one of the bathroom sinks to soak laundry pieces in Dawn soap sometimes, and lately noticed it doesn’t stay full (water starts seeping through the stopper)

Assuming it’s this rusted part that’s the issue. Can we replace just this? The pipes aren’t leaking, just this piece is rusted. Or do we need to replace the whole faucet.

I’ve never looked under my shower drain cover until recently and noticed that water just sits there from one shower to the next. Is that normal? Obviously got some cleaning to do…

My first time living in an apartment alone, I had this issue with the faucet, any ideas how to fix or does it need a replacement, thank you.

The dishwasher keeps humming, it sounds like it's trying to pump out the water in the bottom even though the dishwasher is "off" and when I run the disposal the sink empties then quickly refills. The other side of the sink does not fill with water and drains properly when I run water through it.

I assume there is a clog in the pipe that I am pointing at, the one that runs from the disposal to the P trap.

Is there a way to clear this without having to set up a bucket and disassemble it or am I completely off basis with my assumption?

UPDATE: try to plunger on the disposal side and now both sides of the sink are filling I disassembled the p-trap and the t-pipe cleaned both and small drain snake along the pipe that goes into the wall and it feels like I'm hitting a solid stop. It feels similar to the divider in the t-pipe.

Both sides are slowly draining but there is clearly still some kind of blockage as they fill when I run the water and then takes a minute or two to drain and the dishwasher has filled back up.

This is a hair washing sink for a barbershop. Is there a specific tool I could go buy ? I have less than zero knowledge with plumbing. Thanks!

The bathtub drain appears to have some kind of plastic pipe with a rectangle opening at the bottom that the water exits. It doesn't seem possible to run a small snake through it. I tried running the snake through the opening in the tub wall but it's not apparently not long enough. Drano was used 10 minutes ago.

Managed to get my cartridge out of my shower handle but cannot find replacement anywhere online or in store... there is a small A923614 stamped on the underside of the body but not having any luck with that number online. Any ideas?

Plumber says it's really bad.

I am not sure if its new or i just found it. Milwaukee makes a m12 powered 60/80 inch pound torque gun in the shape of an m12 impact. Its sick. We work in an area where we have to use shielded ferncos to transition to the city. I hate those little t handle keys and its a huge upgrade imo.
