:( Hello, I am writing because I need help. One year after moving into our house, our daughter noticed a brown water spot downstairs near our front door entrance. I looked at it and thought it may have been from the A/C unit. We called the A/C maintenace man and everyone else who we thought may have known what this was due to because the house was virtually brand new. We finally got the people who installed the plumbing and they told us that the connections that they used on the pipes that water floows thru, especially the ones in the bathrooms( I do not know what he was talking about) were defective when they installed them when they built the house and they were aware of the problem and that he would replace the parts with the correct ones. Well, by the time that the came to fix the problem, I had a foot long whole in the sheetrock. The water stain was about 4 feet. Oh, the upstairs shower just so happen to be above the area downstairs where the water stain and now, whole, are. The guy ended up having to tear down the tile in the shower to get to the piping. He asked if we wanted all of the pipes fixed because they would end up doing the same thing. I insisted. Well, it's been 2 years now and guess what????????? This morning may daughter informed me that it was raining downstairs because water was pouring out of the ceiling. I ran down and saw water coming from around my A/C vent and in the same 4 foot water stain area I told you about earlier. I heard the same shower on in my son's restroom upstairs. The water was pouring downstairs. I knocked on the door and told him to cut the shower off. I ran downstairs and the water had stopped. What is this and did they fix the problem?? I caled the same plumber back and he told me there would be a charge 95.00 per hour charge now since the warranty on the plumbing was off. Please help me....Can we fix this ourselves and should we let them do their job?? What is actually the problem?? Why do we not have this issue with other showers in our home?? Thanks a lot

Careful when buying plumbing fixtures for the bath or kitchen. With close observation you will find that some parts are made of plastic that looks like metal. It is one area where you truly get what you pay for. I've been looking for the right kitchen faucet for four months now.
