This comprehensive guide will take you step-by-step through the process of removing a clawfoot bathtub, providing tips for restoring and reusing the tub and preparing the space for a new one .

 The toilet runs constantly This is a common sign that the fill valve of a toilet is broken. However, in addition to the fill valve, there are other factors that can cause the toilet to malfunction, so first look inside the tank. If water flows over the fill valve and into the overflow hole, the float may be incorrectly adjusted. Simply bend the float arm downwards so that the float shuts off the water at a lower level. If this works, the filling valve is functioning properly. Next, look carefully at the chain that runs from the handle to the door. Occasionally, this chain twists and does not extend far enough to allow the door to seal properly. In this case, the filling valve is constantly actuated, as water escapes from the tank as soon as it is pumped in. Finally, check the flapper. Just like when chaining, if the flapper is the wrong size or does not fit correctly over the drain hole, the fill valve will continuously try to fill the tank. Try holding the flapper down to make su...

Clogging the bathtub drain is not a difficult job, but there are a few methods to use and things to avoid to make sure it goes smoothly. Commercial drain cleaning agents Commercial drain cleaners are usually a good option when it comes to unclogging bathtub drains. Some work well, while others are not as effective. The problem is that many of them contain chemicals, which leach into the groundwater and can have a negative effect on a home's water quality. Some can even damage the pipes they are supposed to clean. It can take up to an hour before we know whether they have worked or not, and very often, these materials rarely achieve the promised results. It is usually possible to unclog a bathtub drain much more quickly than detergents. Plungers When using a plunger to unclog a bathtub drain...

  Toilet tank leaks can cause a very annoying hissing sound that continues even after flushing. If you hear such a noise coming from the toilet tank even when it is not in use, it means that your toilet has a leak somewhere. If water from the tank drips into the bowl, there is probably a problem with the flush valve. Step 1 - Lid Remove the lid from the toilet tank so that you can see inside. Step 2 - Water Before proceeding, locate the isolation valve under the toilet pipe and turn off the water. Flush the toilet to expel the water in the tank. After shutting off the water, the tank will not fill up. Step 3 - Flush valve Watch carefully as the water descends through the flush valve as you flush the toilet. The discharge pipe below is the pipe where the water flows back into the tank. Above it, you should see a rubber ring and a valve that fits into the hole at the bottom of the tank. Remove the drain valve and check the rubber washer. It may have shrunk, which is partly the cause...

  The overflow part of a bathtub drain can be a homeowner's undoing if the overflow pipe has developed a leak or a loose connection. The overflow pipe of a bathtub is specifically designed to prevent water from flooding the bathtub, eventually leaking through the floorboards and ceiling of the room below, but if this essential pipe has its own defect, it is possible for water to leak from the pipe and flood the ceiling anyway. This can cause damage to plaster, flooding of the room below and even destruction of carpets and electrical items in the room below. Repairing the pipe is not a difficult job, and you do not need a professional if you have some basic housework skills. Just follow a few simple steps to get the job done quickly and easily. Turn off the water The first step is to make sure that all the water in the house is completely shut off. To do this, you need to open the main water valve of the house, which should be located outside the house or in the garage. Turn it off...

  Leaky faucets are not only nerve-wracking, but they can also rack up expensive bills. Small leaks that go unfixed can use up to three gallons of water, and a plumber's bill to fix the leak can be expensive and totally unjustified. Loose nut If you've only recently connected the tap and it's already leaking, the fault is probably that you've left the connection a little loose around the sealing nut. This nut is located underneath the handle and is hidden in a decorative handle on most modern taps. Remove the handle so that the tap mechanism is visible. Tighten the loose nut with an adjustable spanner. Worn washer If the tap is relatively old or the nut is tight, the next problem is a worn, damaged or hardened washer. This usually results in water dripping from the handles or pooling around the handles. Shutting off the water supply Before you begin, make sure you have shut off the water supply at the stop valve, which is usually located directly under the sink, or by...
