When I flush the toilet located on the second floor there is water coming down from the ceiling of the first floor. However, there is no indication of leaking around the bottom of bowl. What would cause the problem.

Sounds like it is leaking around the wax seal and then the water is running down to the downstairs by escaping where the closet flange comes up through the floor. Try replacing the wax seal

plumbing in a dishwasher

on Apr 21, 2000

In an older house I'm trying to plumb in a dishwasher-- it will sit across from the sink, not beside it. How soon does the hose have to reach a "t" in the drainage PVC? Can I run flexible hose beneath the floor and then up again to my disposal unit, or can I run that hose any length at all?

Bathtub drain stop lever stuck.....

on Apr 22, 2000

My bathtub has alway drained slow, but last week it really started draining even slower and now wont drain at all. We snaked it and the snake got stuck on the chain connected to the lever so we took the cover plate off and had to pull the chain assembly out to get the snake unstuck....now it won't drain and I think the link is closed completely shut. How do we get the lever unstuck so it'll open the drain up again? I'm suspecting that's what it is since no drain opener helps at all. Thanks
