"We were able to secure so much work for such a good price it's hard to list it all, but I will try. New water heater Kitchen bib repair New sink support build Extended hose off the main to restore water pressure Pipe rework under kitchen sink New garbage disposal Condenser line repair Discovery of crawl space to sort out galvanized line and extra condenser line that was a mystery, even to the inspection team I hired. So impressed BMF found it. Cleared out rodent traps from previous owner who didn't pass on any information about the home. Gas Dryer hookup Toilet replacements Toilet tank rework I know I am missing something but BMF is a seriously solid company and I will have another gambit of work for them next year. They really worked their tails off for us and I can't thank them enough. This old home has a ways to go, as it's all being pieced together to find out what's going on, but I feel like BMF will do her some much deserved justice. Thanks again. Angie"

Toilets questions, answered by experts

Yes, continuing to flush a clogged toilet is not likely to break up the clog. Instead, it will continue to put pressure on the clog while filling the bowl with more water, which can potentially cause the toilet to overflow—leading to an even bigger mess. Rather than repeatedly flushing, use a toilet plunger or plumber’s snake to dislodge the clog.

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’s tape around the handle bolt to fix stripped threads. It’s possible the handle was improperly installed. If that’s the case, you can use the instructions above to correct the handle’s position. 

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.

Start by gutting the old fixtures and features that need to be removed, such as the tile, vanity, and flooring. You may benefit by removing the toilet, even if you intend to use the same one. Next, install the new shower or tub, followed by the flooring, and then the drywall, which you should then paint. After that, install your new cabinets, vanity, countertop, sink, and faucet, in that order. Replace your light fixture next. Lastly, reconnect the toilet.

You can tell if your toilet fill valve is full by removing the lid and taking a look. When you flush the toilet, the float is at the bottom of the tank, the water empties, and the fill valve opens. The float rises to the top as the tank fills again with water. When the float rises to the right level, the fill valve closes; if the valve is too high, your toilet may only partially flush, requiring you to adjust the float.
