Questions About Plumbing
How can I hook up a washer and dryer?
my house does not have a W&D, but I was given a set. I have no hook-ups for them but want to put them in my mud room. Where do I begin?
Repairing kitchen water damage
I need to replace a couple of the laminate floor boards on my kitchen floor that were warped by water from a leaky refrigerator. My kitchen cabinets are installed on top of the laminate flooring, some of which needs to be removed and replaced. How can I remove the flooring without removing all the cabinets?
How much to install a new ice maker?

How to get rid of standing water under a house foundation
There is a horrible smell in my home because of an ongoing plumbing issue (leaky toilet). Although the leak has been fixed, the smell won't leave. I'm pretty sure that there is standing water under the floor slab, but do not how to drain the water? Any ideas?
Plumbing Issues for New Bathroom
I want to run a new water line to a bathroom(recently added on to our home's main floor) and the existing plumbing is copper piping. Can I use plastic piping for the new water line, or does it have to remain copper all the way to the fixture?
New House, Poor Water Pressure
We just tore down our old house and built a new one on the same lot. Water pressure was good in the old house. In the new house - not so good. The builder has decided to take out all of the flow restrictors on the shower heads as a solution. It seems to me this is just a quick fix but will waste water and energy. What do you think?
Making Better Use of Floor Space in a Bathroom Remodel
It looks as if we could replace our side-by-side washer and dryer with a stacking set, and then in the same space put in a one-piece fiberglass shower beside the new appliances. We have a cement floor. Can the plumbing challenges be overcome?
Costs for a Water Heater or Circulation Pump
We added a kitchen last year and now we're not getting enough hot water on that end of the house. I've heard that circulation pumps are more expensive to buy but cheaper in the end since you don't have to run the water while it heats. Is that true?
Icemaker Water Line: Quick Fix or More Expensive Fix
We have a new fridge with icemaker. The pre-existing water line (copper) has never been used – put in with a remodel 7 yrs ago, is not yet connected to the water source. We called in a plumber who advised against using it: 1) it shows some signs of oxidation; 2) it’s threaded behind solid wood cabinets, and somehow was threaded over/around a doorway (it must be inside the wall) and 20+ feet later, reaches the fridge alcove. Plus, we have very hard water (no water softener). Instead, he proposes running an aqua flex line from an upstairs bathroom line, through the ceiling, and down to a box behind fridge (shorter distance, less risk of leakage) – for $1000+ (will include some other minor plumbing issues). Is he overselling the risk? He said the original lin e would be a home inspector’s red flag, and he wouldn’t guarantee the quick fix, other than the installation of the valve. What do you think?
Why is my toilet water drained when I wash clothes?
Every time I wash clothes, it seems as though the water is being sucked away from the toilet when the washer spins. I am not sure why that is happening. Please help!!
