Doctor Drain - Plumbing Tips

Problem	Solution
Water level is too high or low in your commode.	Level should be 1/2 inch below top of overflow tube. Bend float arm down to lower water level, up to raise it. If level is too high, water will run over. If too low, water may be inadequate for complete flush.
Commode Tank flushes partially.	Tank ball may not rise enough; shorten upper lift wire slightly and rehook it through hole in trip lever. Follow manufacture’s instructions for pivoted tip-type flush valve.
Water at base of commode on floor.	Check supply line at tank and valve packing if dry remove commode replace wax seal.
Vibrating Faucet.	Loose washer or stem set. Check water pressure with gauge should be between 60-80 P.S.I.

Frozen Water lines.	Be sure to drain out all hose bibs and outside lines before the winter months.
Bubble in washing machine hoses Shut off valve and replace hose.	Be sure not to leave hose bibs on all the time.
