Q:kitchen sink: it sounds like theres a waterfall underneath it and, from what we can tell, it seems to be leaking from the vertical pipe.bathroom sink: sounds like a very tiny waterfall. It mainly sounds like a water faucet does when you have it turned on at normal speed. The water is draining off of the bottom part of the sink bowl so it must be leaking right around there.help please! thanks!

you should proabably get that checked,, if you don't want to replace it.. its the safest way out.

Q:Water takes forever to go down the drain, and weve tried draino and vinegar and baking soda, which neither worked. We cant snake because the damn stopper doesnt come out. What else can we do?

If you can take the trap off the sink then you will be able to unclog it. You need to remove the piece of the stopper and replace that part. That is what is catching hair build-up. It will amaze you what the trap looks like inside. Jo Ann

Q:In my bathroom, I have a ball-joint sink valve. Which means its a single rotating handle. Pushing it up turns it on. To the left, hot water. To the right, cold water. My dilemma is, if I push it all the way to the left, no water comes out. If I rest it in a certain position to the left, it sputters, and eventually cuts off altogether. In other words, its a pain in the butt to get hot water out. Im assuming it needs to be repaired, but could it also be that it is an energy saving faucet? As Im not sure.Anyways, if you are knowledgeable in the area of plumbing, I would greatly appreciate your diagnostic if you have one. Even if it isnt right at all, Id still be grateful for input.

Depends on how handy you are. Sound like there is sediment clogging the openings. If you want to tackle the job yourself, then go under the sink and turn off both valves in the lines to the faucet. Then remove the retainer ring around the handle. May have to remove handle with allen wrench first and then the retainer ring. Lift out the ball and check for any clogs internally in it. Remove carefully the rubber O rings in the cavity where the ball was, and then put a rag over the fixture and slowly turn on the valves under the sink to flush out the lines. When lines are running clear, then replace the rubber O rings and then the ball and retainer ring.

Q:In my apartment my bathroom sink is having problems. Whenever i turn the water on the water collects in the sink of course. The problem is the sink takes a very long time to drain the water. My sink is draining the water but it takes a long time to drain i saw about 30 minutes to drain. What is wrong with my sink?

Kelly, if you look as you do in the picture, and wash your hair in the sink, then it is a good bet that there's quite a wad of it in the drain. If you have a drain that has one of the pull up push down buttons near the back of the spigot, that drain plug that drops down into the hole will also catch and hold hair, eventually making a large clump to plug the drain. There is a new, small, snake type of drain cleaner available for less than $2 at most all the home improvement stores and probably hardware and large grocery stores. It's flexible plastic, with small thorn-like protrusions all along the outside of the unit and a round hole, for your finger to grab through at the top. The idea is to push the snake down into the drain as far as you can get it, then turn it around a few times and pull it out. If there's anything there, it will wrap itself around the snake and come out when you remove it. You may want to do this a few times if you get much on the first try, if you decide to buy one of the units. Some of the other answers were correct in saying that your landlord is responsible to keep the plumbing functioning properly, unless you have some sort of clause in your lease in which you've agreed to take care of it. And that's fine, if you have a very nice landlord, who gets right on these things. If not, however, it can sometimes be a long interval between when you alert him to a problem and when it actually gets fixed. The P trap under the sink may be partially or nearly all clogged with the hair and whatever else may have fallen down there over time, so you'll need to decide which way you want to go. For the $2 or less, it might be worth it to just try to make it better while you wait for professional help.
