    Wet basement help

    Hi Neal, That is a great idea. We have a rain coming tomorrow so I will dig some holes today so we can monitor the water. I was not aware that it was possible to tie into the city lines. Is this commonly allowed? I know you discourage the use of sealants on the interior walls. Just for...

    Kitchen Faucet Removal

    Water started to spray out of the connection between the base of the faucet and the body. This happened before and I loosened the body of the faucet and fiddled with the gasket to put it in place and then retigheted the body. This worked, but this time I cannot seem to get a proper seal. My...

    Kitchen Faucet Removal

    Hi, I have a kitchen faucet with a strange U shaped attachment under the sink. The faucet was there when we moved in and I do not know the make or model. I am not sure how to remove it and don't want to break anything important. If any one could help I would be very grateful. I apologize...
