How to cut tile in shower to get at plumbing w/least damage? The diverter isn't working right for our 1950's 3-valve shower/tub plumbing. Half the water goes up to shower, half comes out the tub spout. I want to get the diverter out to see if that's where the problem lies. I've got the handle off & can *see* some of the edges of the packing nut, but apparently they cut the tile to fit the stem -after- all of the plumbing was already in place. The hole in the tile is smaller than the entire packing nut (let alone big enough to let me get the socket in & turn it). I really don't want to re-tile the entire shower. What I'd like to do is to snip the hole in the tile to something that's just barely bigger than the packing nut. How do I cut the tile with the least chance of totally breaking it & having to replace it? Also, any advice re: fixing the diverter would be appreciated, too!

We have a plumbing problem with our shower faucets- how can we fix them? Our house was built in 1968 and our most recent remodel was a few years ago. We retiled our shower ( professionally ) and also had them install new faucets. Since then we have started having problems and it has progressively gotten worse. The cold water faucet seems fine ( hard to tell because we have a water saver showerhead ) but the hot water is barely turned on to get a warm shower. It's almost off- when you turn if off, it doesn't even seem like you are actually turning it, it's so slight. My husband said he has the parts to fix it, but he hates plumbing, and dreads taking it apart, that he won't be able to fix it and it'll only be worse, or create more problems. Anyone know what might be going on with the faucets? I don't know the brand-so we couldn't contact the manufacturer- but I would hope it's a good brand because we picked high grade tile. Also, the cold water faucet drips when we are showering- not alot but enough if you happen to get underneath it! The hot water in the rest of the house is normal.

plumbing rough in of a tub/shower in basement concrete floor? i'm new to plumbing houses with basements. toilets and sinks are no problem, however, im clueless as of how to rough in a tub/shower.

I appreciate any help.

Plumbing-The shower is off but water is still dripping. How do you fix that? Do you need a new control? It is a single unit fixture for hot and cold, on and off. Need to know if the fixture needs replacing or if you can just replace a part or washer or something.

Plumbing - single-knob shower has cold, but no hot water. Causes? Home is 10 years old, was vacant for a year before I bought it. One shower has cold water only, no hot. The single knob turns on the water, with decent pressure. As you rotate the knob to get more hot water (mixing in hot with the cold), it does not warm up. When you dial it all the way to hot, there is no water flow at all. It appears that the hot water is not able to get through 'somewhere'. How to diagnose? 1) other showers and adjacent sinks all have warm/hot. 2) second floor bathroom, no easy wall access 3) no apparent leaks currently Could the hot water to JUST that one fixture have been turned off? Where? (If there was a leak, and this was the former owners way of dealing with it.) The hardware store guy said it might be the 'stem', and showed me a couple of $15 parts that could be bad. Is this the kind of repair that a semi-handy person could complete? (I have completed a variety of different home repairs, but would not call myself an expert!)

Plumbing/Designish question (shower related)? My fiance and I constantly fight over water in the shower. Pushing, shoving, you know, bad stuff... I was thinking of running a copper pipe along the front of the shower/tub combo to the other side to install another showerhead. I would mount this on both sides of the gap. We would use the copper pipe as our curtain rod (so picture that as where it's running). Comments? Concerns? I'm wondering if the copper would corrode and leave marks/streaks on the wall?

How hard is it to move plumbing for a shower drain? I want to switch out my square shower with center drain to a neo angle corner shower with a drain in the corner.

PLUMBING ???? When I turn on the water in the tub it comes out of the shower head & the faucet? Water comes out simultaneously until you pull up the shower pin.

Plumbing problem; when I run the water in the shower,lavatory or kitchen sink for 3 or 4 minutes or longer? I hear a loud gurgling sound coming from the toilet.

I am puzzeled to why it is doing this.

Can we sue the city govt for approving plumbing work not to code? We are the 2nd owners of our house. The house is only 4 years old. We recently found mold damage in the master bathroom. We thought it was because the shower was leaking. After my husband tore out the shower, we discovered that the shower was never plumbed. The water was going through an unsealed hole in the plywood, emptying under our house. There is no evidence of the shower ever having been plumbed. There is no pipe. All other plumbing is fine. Now, our master bathroom needs to be completely replaced and our homeowner's insurance doesn't cover it. Can we sue the city since the house passed inspection when it was built?
