Can a toilet and shower share the same drain?

• <div><p>Yes, and no. Your shower, toilet, and sink all connect to the same main drain, but the secondary drains going from each fixture to the main drain are usually separate. This isn’t always the case—especially in older homes—but since toilets contain black water and showers, tubs, and sinks have grey water, toilets are more regulated and come at a greater risk of contamination. It’s best to keep these drains separate using individual waste collection for this reason.</p></div>

What size pipe do I need to plumb a shower?

• <div><p>The size of the pipe you use for your shower depends on the part of the shower you’re installing. Shower drainpipes have a 2-inch diameter, and the water supply lines (both hot and cold) have a ½-inch diameter. You may want to slightly increase the size of the vertical pipe if you have dual showerheads. Check the local building code prior to installation for guidance.</p></div>

Q: Can you put an elongated toilet seat on a round toilet?

• <div><p>Technically, you can put an elongated toilet seat on a round toilet, but it&rsquo;s not a good idea. Elongated toilet seats are a few inches longer than round toilets, so they will hang over the front edge of your toilet, which isn&rsquo;t appealing. Additionally, an unsupported toilet seat or portion of a toilet seat is more likely to crack and shift, which could result in injury to whoever uses the toilet. Always match your toilet seat style to your toilet, or replace the toilet entirely if you&rsquo;re looking to switch styles.</p></div>

Q: How do I find my shut-off valve?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-find-your-homes-water-shut-valve.htm">Your shut-off valve</a> is likely located in a basement, utility room, or garage and is connected to your sprinkler system by a water line. Likely, you will be able to observe the water line connection going to your house and trace that to find the shutoff valve. You might also have an access panel that covers a utility box in your yard. If you have one of these, the shutoff valves for your sprinkler system are likely inside.</p></div>

Q: Is it necessary to have a sink drain stopper?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s necessary to have a sink drain stopper. While your sink will still work without a stopper, a stopper is necessary to keep things other than water from going down into your pipes and potentially clogging them. It prevents <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/plumbing-problems.htm">plumbing problems</a> by keeping out unwanted debris and objects like hair, soap, toothpaste, dirt, and jewelry.</p></div>

"Working with Groundworks was wonderful from start to finish. It began with their sales team, Rich G, ensuring my old, quirky home had a customized and thorough solution, phased out to make the job more approachable. Rich took the time to understand my goals for the project and the nuances of my house even though that took significant time and multiple trips to my home. The installation crew (Jose N., Phil S., Diego A.) was professional, prompt and answered ALL of my questions. Their communication kept me informed every step of the way! When the job was completed, it looked like they had never been here - the yard and landscaping look untouched. I would definitely recommend Groundworks for anyone who needs to have their foundation worked on!"
