When adding a new bathroom, should the concrete foundation be jack hammered in order to run the new pipes. We are remodeling and are hesitant about disturbing our foundation. Please reply with any comments.

Thanks,
Shari

Can you not tie the new plumbing into the existing plumbing?

If not adding a new hole through your foundation should not effect it, unless your removing alot more then that is required to be removed.

We are tearing down a wall between 2 bedrooms. The bath will be located in an area that has no plumbing in the foundation. Our existing bathroom is the room next to this new bath so the farthest distance we will have to go to tie into our plumbing will be around 7 feet. You think we should disturb the foundation or build up the floor?

knocking a 6" hole through the foundation should work, and should not hurt the structure.

Leak under kitchen sink

on Aug 24, 2000

I have a leak under the kitchen sink, I've tightened everything I can find, but it didn't help. Has any one tried the Leak Ender 2000 product for leaks? Does it work or should I just call a plumber?

Well Problem?

on Aug 22, 2000

We are losing water pressure--we have a deep water well in the country. We will have full force water then none for about a minute. We have noticed some air spluttering when the water does come back. Any suggestions???
