New posts are added as new plumbing questions come up often enough to be worth writing about. If you don't see your specific issue here, calling us directly usually gets a faster, more specific answer than searching for it, since every home's situation differs slightly. We'd rather spend a few minutes on the phone confirming what's actually going on than have you guess based on a general article, ours included. Every fix we describe here follows the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) as adopted by the North Carolina State Building Code.
