Can you shower if the sump pump isn’t working?

• <div><p>You shouldn’t shower while a sump pump isn’t working. Although household wastewater isn’t supposed to go into the sump pit, it’s best to wait to shower until your sump pump is running properly and able to move excess water out of the basement. If you need to shower when the sump pump isn’t working, aim for a short shower.</p></div>

Why is my wall wet but there’s no leak?

• <div><p>If your wall is wet, but there isn’t a leak, it’s likely a result of humidity and condensation from running a hot shower or cooking in the kitchen. The best way to remedy this issue is to run the fan in the bathroom when you’re showering or in the kitchen when you’re cooking. You can also <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-does-dehumidifier-do.htm">use a dehumidifier</a> to help remove moisture from the air.</p></div>

Q: Can I remove a bathtub myself?

• <div><p>Yes, you can remove a bathtub yourself if you have previous DIY experience and basic plumbing knowledge. You should have at least one other person help you if you approach this project as a DIY. However, hiring a plumber or bathroom remodeling pro can prevent accidental damage from demolition or water leakage.</p></div>

Q: Can you shower if the sump pump isn’t working?

• <div><p>You shouldn&rsquo;t shower while a sump pump isn&rsquo;t working.

If you need to shower when the sump pump isn&rsquo;t working, aim for a short shower.</p></div>

Q: Where does wastewater go?

• <div><p>Depending on the home, wastewater either goes into a septic tank and seeps back into the backyard or is sent via sewer system to a local sewage-treatment plant. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-septic-systems.htm">Septic systems</a> naturally separate different components of the waste so that it can naturally and safely disperse it. They are usually reserved for homes not served by a municipal sewage department (like rural homes). A treatment plant, on the other hand, speeds up that process through screening and purification.</p></div>

Q: Why does my toilet handle not come back up?

• <div><p>Your toilet handle might not come back up if the nut is loose or the bolt threads are stripped. Try to tighten the mounting nut and wrap plumber&rsquo;s tape around the handle bolt to fix stripped threads. It&rsquo;s possible the handle was improperly installed. If that&rsquo;s the case, you can use the instructions above to correct the handle&rsquo;s position. </p></div>

There was no access to the bathtub pipe, so a hole had to be cut in the sheet rock. Kevin installed a removable panel, which saved me the cost and trouble of hiring someone to repair the sheet rock. I received a follow-up call to make sure I was pleased with the service.
