"The Plummer was upfront and able to diagnose the problem after previous Plummer had failed to do so. He was also very helpful in guiding us through next steps as we were not immediately financially prepared to fix the overall issue."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Yes. You can replace just the stopper portion with a universal sink stopper. All you need to do is open up the existing stopper and pull it up from the drain. You should be able to remove and replace the stopper with bare hands. If the existing stopper seems to be stuck, use a pair of pliers to remove it.

Hiring an experienced plumber is key to a successful plumbing project and protecting your home from potential damages. Improper plumbing maintenance and repairs can lead to problems with sewage, flooding, your home’s foundation, and more. The work of a licensed plumber helps guarantee not only experience and expertise but also quality work, insurance, and adherence to local rules and regulations. Note that working with unlicensed plumbers doesn't automatically negate experience—as six states don’t require plumbers to have licenses— but it’s a safeguard to consider. 

The type of sealant you use on a leaking pipe will depend on the pipe material and the cause of the leak. PVC P-traps should avoid petroleum-based sealants, which can degrade the plastic and worsen the leak. Pipe sealant is specifically designed for use on pipes, but remember—if your P-trap has a crack–it’s best to replace the pipe to avoid future leaks.

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.

The most expensive part of adding a bathroom will always be the wet areas, such as the toilet, sink, and shower. Considering a half bathroom won’t have a shower, you’ll save quite a bit of money there versus adding a full bath with a shower or tub. Using qualified professionals is a requirement when dealing with plumbing and electricity, so while you can do some of the addition yourself, leave these two to the pros.
