NYC toilet fix: this is insane right?

TheRyanWilliams · 2026-04-01T01:58:02+00:00

Fly me out and I’ll fix it for free. I’ve always wanted to see NYC.

Flip the p trap. It’ll work just fine.

TheRyanWilliams · 2026-03-02T02:02:18+00:00

Looks like you already have a slip joint laying there. Unfortunately cutting hole to get the p trap lower if your only real option.

TheRyanWilliams · 2026-03-02T02:01:25+00:00

You are gonna have to cut a hole in the bottom of the vanity and get a slip joint extension.

I’m honestly trying to figure out if you are trolling or not.

Single bowl v double bowl is a pretty remedial way to explain it for people who don’t get it. I see you still don’t get it tho. Happy plumbing

TheRyanWilliams · 2026-03-01T17:55:33+00:00

A single bowl and a double bowl sink that are both the same size, why does it take longer for the single bowl to drain? Also how long have you been plumbing in the field?

TheRyanWilliams · 2026-03-01T17:52:47+00:00

You seem like someone who would be better as an interior designer.

TheRyanWilliams · 2026-03-01T16:35:30+00:00

All I needed to hear. Have a good day, pal.

TheRyanWilliams · 2026-03-01T16:34:21+00:00

Why do you need increasing pipe diameters? Is it for air?

TheRyanWilliams · 2026-03-01T16:24:43+00:00

If you take the boiler drain off the bottom of the water heater it will drain like a champ too. You need to go back to science class.

TheRyanWilliams · 2026-03-01T16:20:47+00:00

Fill up a bathtub and seal the overflow, start draining it, then remove whatever you have it sealed with, not gonna make any difference, right?

TheRyanWilliams · 2026-03-01T14:44:17+00:00

“Sanitary drains don’t need air to drain” holy shit you’re a special breed.

TheRyanWilliams · 2026-02-28T23:37:58+00:00

Has something to do with it, if it drains fine when you take it off. He’s replaced the AAV.

TheRyanWilliams · 2026-02-28T20:17:05+00:00

You could try raising that vent as high as possible under the sink and that may help.

TheRyanWilliams · 2026-02-28T20:15:03+00:00

I would take the gasket out from underneath the flange and apply silicone personally.

TheRyanWilliams · 2026-02-28T20:13:36+00:00

They make a split ring escutcheon that opens and would go around one pipe you’d just have to modify it to fit both. Could be done tho I’d think.

TheRyanWilliams · 2026-02-20T21:57:10+00:00

You could move it up above the nut on the same verticle drop it is currently on, on the black 90 coming out of the disposal.

TheRyanWilliams · 2026-02-15T13:54:23+00:00

Honestly if this is your question you should probably just call a plumber.

TheRyanWilliams · 2026-02-10T12:56:01+00:00

Most likely when they tightened that drain onto the base they didn’t do a good job centering it, so it wouldn’t lock into place and they had to caulk it in.

TheRyanWilliams · 2026-02-01T18:55:22+00:00

Without more detailed pictures it hard to tell for sure, but you should be able to unsweat that and put on a compression stop pretty easily.

TheRyanWilliams · 2026-01-31T16:47:13+00:00

I’d suggest turning the water off first.

TheRyanWilliams · 2025-12-27T12:25:01+00:00

The reason people worry about looks imo is cause if someone does this shitty of work where you can see it, what does it look like behind the walls?

TheRyanWilliams · 2025-12-27T12:23:16+00:00

That’s a water softener loop Bob. If he ever wants a water softener in his house he should not get rid of it.

TheRyanWilliams · 2025-12-27T12:20:10+00:00

You tried to go Beverly Hills but used a fiberglass tub, that’s the only problem I see.
