you payed someone to do a simple job, which they've not done to a satisfactory standard. you could either get them back to finish it properly or use some bricks to "stabilize the sink"... i know what i'd rather do.

Hey. Not sure what model you have, but I assume you're trying to light the pilot. Remove the metal outer and inner (if applicable) cover(s) located at the bottom below the control box. with a flashlight, you should be able to locate the "thermocoupler" -that's a very thin metal tube about the thickness of cooked spaghetti. It should come from the controller and bend around a little until it ends in mid-air. That's where the pilot flame will first appear when you light it, and it should be always on, or else you will need to follow the instructions on the outside of the heater to do so. BTW: while the pilot should always be lit, the main flame (which heats the water) will only "fire" like a gas cooking range when the water in the tank starts to get cold - so don't expect to see any big flames any time you look. When you re-light the pilot, though, and turn the control dial to "hot", then you will both see and hear the flame fire up. Follow those lighting instructions VERY carefully, or the pilot won't stay lit (like, if it says to hold a button for 60 seconds, make sure you don't cheat). Good luck, hope I answered your question.

Replace the tank water fill valve. Change the flush flapper too. You can get a complete kit from hardware stores.

have the valve seat rubber replaced

Your expansion tank need air. Bladder might be ripped.either u replace the tank or you drain it cometary and add 12 psi of air

The overflow pipe should be attached to a small clip that holds it in position over the over flow pipe. If it is loose or attached to the outside it will do what yours is doing.

depress and release button and whirlpool will stop

Trey, motor or pump is seized, have tech. take a look and repair.

try changing battery

Be sure to pull the plunger all the way up when diverting the water between the the tub and shower if ti keeps giving you a problem it's faulty

It's possible you installed the valve upside down, all values should be labeled in some way marking either hot and cold or it will say the word up where the riser tube port for the shower head is. If that's not the case remove the tub spout and check for any obstruction sometimes during tile or constructing debris can get into the pipe for your tub spout. Lastly the diverter on the tub spout could be bad. Try a new tub spout

As the water in the tank reaches the full mark, the valve that shuts the water off begins to close. As it closes, less and less water is allowed to go past the valve. When the tank is at the full mark, the water is shut off completely. It's like letting air out of balloon. The smaller the opening, the louder the squeal. You may need to replace the float and valve set or some how lower the water pressure at the toilet.

1. Turn off the water at the shutoff valve, flush the toilet and hold down the handle. There may be a little water left in the bottom of the tank, but don't worry about it. Wipe the flapper seat with a clean cloth to make sure it's free of debris, and check it for cracks or splits (Image 1).

General Plumbing Supply has always come through for me... Yelp only gives them a 3/5 but I have always had to wait with PROFESSIONALS to get my turn. I'm not big on ambiance when hunting for obscure plumbing parts.. BRING your old (always... any-parts) seat with you! Amazon says $34 (plus tax)... Phenomenal return policy A quick search on line yielded lots of other choices... Happy hunting!

The new toilet has more flushing volume than the old one. The system should handle this. The problem could be the vents on the roof are plugged or something in the line is obstructing the flow. You will need to contact a plumber

Change the flap in the flush container.
