My bathtub has been clogged for maybe a month now, and I know that I should have done something about it one it first started, but I’ve just been lazy and procrastinating. Now, when I take a shower, the water just piles up in the bathtub; it eventually all goes down the drain, but it’s [...]

I checked the bottom of the drain and pulled out a few little things but there’s still water in the drain filler.

I had to cut out original drain to replace it with a tile drain and now with the coupler in there, it would sit about a half inch high. Can I just shim it up so it doesn’t move and then adjust the new tile drain as needed? Or do they make a shorter coupler?

I need to drain the water so the pipes don’t freeze while I’m away over the winter. Never done this before. What will the stop tap look like if it’s within my boundaries and if it’s a shared water meter, how do I find it and what does it look like? Cheers.
