"They were very costly and said that they could only install the shower, when, in fact, we needed plumbing done plus a shower install. We ended up finding a reliable plumber who did both, and for a much better price. Once we gave AHD our phone number, they called us regularly, as well, which was quite annoying."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Adding another bathroom isn’t the most complicated project you can undertake, but it’s in the top 5%. Anything involving plumbing and electrical work should be handed off to a pro, and adding a half bath involves both. A contractor may charge $70 to $120 an hour for labor, but chances are they can work much faster and more accurately than a DIYer.

If you notice smells or clogs, you’ll know something’s wrong with your shower drain P-trap or the plumbing. Most of the time, smells and clogs are due to a clogged P-trap. However, in some instances, you may smell sewage. If this happens, open your windows and contact a plumber to help. They can do a plumbing inspection and let you know if anything needs to be repaired or replaced. Common culprits are a dry drain, cracks in the plumbing, or a clogged vent.

While a leak may seem small, even a gentle trickle of consistent moisture can lead to mold problems in your bathroom. Make sure you know how to check for mold if your toilet has been leaking for a while. Pooling water by your toilet also poses a risk for someone slipping on the slick floor of your bathroom. Finally, a leak of any size can lead to water waste that increases your water bill.

The best way to unclog a bathtub drain is to pour a pot of boiled water down the drain, being careful not to splash yourself. However, take precautions, as boiling water can damage PVC pipes and joints. Follow up with ½ cup of baking soda and ½ cup of vinegar. Cover the drain with a small sink plunger and let it sit for 15 minutes. Pour boiling water down the drain again and replace the drain stopper.

You can use PEX pipe underground, and it will hold up well in underground insulations. Keep in mind that PEX tubing is not rated for outdoor use and that insulation is necessary in regions that experience cold winters. When using it underground, you should also bury PEX piping at least 12 inches below the frost line.
