Q:how do you install bathroom sink faucets?

1. make sure you have at least 2 wrenches or 2 pair of pliers or something to loosen and tighten the lines. 2. Turn off the water valves under the sink. If you do not have valves under the sink you will have to turn the entire house off. If the latter is the case, make sure you buy some valves to put under the sink before you turn the water back on. It would suck to be without water if something goes wrong and you do not have valves to make sure your bathroom doesn't flood. 3. Turn the faucet on and make sure all the water is drained--if it continues to drip then try playing with the valves some more--but realize that they are not indestructable and could break if you put too much umf into em. 4. Unhook the water lines from the old faucet using two wrenches usually. If your old water lines are not in good shape, it is the perfect time to get new and have one less thing that can go wrong. 5. If you are not sure, write on the wall or the back side of the cabinet which is hot or cold so you don't hook em- up wrong on the new one. 6. Loosen the nuts (usually plastic unless really old) on the bottom side of the faucet itself. The faucet will pull out through the top once these have been removed. 7. Clean up any remaining residue from the old faucet. 8. Follow directions that come with the new faucet. Should take between 15 minutes and 1? hours--depending on how hard it is to get to and how long and old the existing faucet is. If you get in a bind--then you can call someone to come do it for you--but there is no science to replacing a faucet. Have fun-I hate plumbing--unless everything works right.

Q:My husband recently fixed a leak in the bathroom tub (sealed something) and obviously had to turn the water off while working on this. Since then the hot water in the bathroom sink does not work when we turn the faucet on (the cold water faucet does work and come out fine). Also not the kitchen sink has a delay when turning it off (water comes out about 5 seconds after turning off) Any ideas why this may be occurring?

He might not have completely turned the hot water valve back on at the water heater ( or if there is a cold feed that one has to be full open too. I doubt this is the problem though. I think somewhere in the process of fixing the problem small bits of rubber and crap in the pipes was pushed forward when he turned the water back on and got stuck in the hot water cartridge in the faucet. Have him shut the water off under the sink , remove the cartridge ( or stem) and put a rag over the hot water opening then turn the valve under the sink back on for a few seconds to blast out whatever is in the pipe. Then he can try to clean the cartridge out or evaluate the condition of the washer on the stem if it isn't a cartridge. Assuming the water came out full force when the cartridge/stem was removed it is resolved by cleaning or replacing. If no water came out, it is time to work your way back down the plumbing system to see that everything is turned on. Once you have eliminated everything you can, it will then make sense to call a plumber if the hot water still doesn't work.

Q:We've been working on it all night. We tried a snake through the drain thing. And did the vinegar/baking soda/boiling water thing. That didn't work either. We really don't wanna call the plumber and we don't want to remove pipes unless we have too. Is there any other way?

We had a clog in the kitchen sink, and we had to go in the basement and snake it through the pipes down there. I dont know a lot about it even though I was the one who did it, my mom knew which one to open. So I guess go from there, your snake prob. wasnt long enough, we had to snake a LONG time. Good luck, Clogged sinks suck! Edit if you snaked it and use vinegar, Draino isnt going to work.

Q:How should the bathroom washbasin be installed?

For the height of the washbasin, Yi Gu bathroom to give you a reminder, whether it is independent or desktop washbasin, pool or platform height from the ground to 80cm ~ 85cm, because too short pond easy to use when the low back pain. Wash basin is better, the pool is slightly higher than the table, but with the table to be connected to be smooth, the purpose is to splash the water on the table back to the pond when the unimpeded, but also conducive to the cleaning of the table. The table itself to use the surface smooth material, the edge and the two corners must be smooth, so as not to scratch when scratching or scratching other things. Washing the pool itself is also very important finish, the surface is smooth, the stolen goods is not easy to dip in the surface, thus reducing the number of scrub.

Q:I am just wondering if it will clog anything.. I don't really care that the necklace is lost because it wasn't very expensive but I just don't want the necklace to mess up anything. I REALLY don't want to open all the pipes and stuff either, messy job. Notice that this is the whole necklace, it was just a silver chain with a cross..So is there any harm in leaving the necklace in the drain?

It should be okay if it went all the way through to the drain thing. But if it got stuck, it could start a build up. Try not to drop anything else. Except water.

Q:I live in the first floor of a two floor apartment. When someone in up-stair uses the kitchen sink, the dirty water flows back to my kitchen sink. It stays in the sink for couple of minutes then goes away. Sometimes the odorous water overflows and makes my kitchen floor very smelly. The super of out apartments seems to be struggling to find out why it is happening. He changed the pipe. cleaned it, etc. nothing seems to be working. DOes anyone know the cause. Please help! It snowed yesterday, and I do not have if that has anything to do with the situation.

There is a plug down your line to the main line.....somewhere. He needs to have that line snaked out. You can try using a drain product like crystal drain-o before you go to bed at night when neither of you is using the water. In the morning flush with hot water.
