I am having trouble with my sewer line from the basement sink, out. I just had $10,000.00 worth of water proofing done and found out they didn't check that line. After doing laundry on a dry day, I heard the water going into the new sub-pump recepticle and Loctite theorizes that this means the clay pipe is defective and no longer going into the sewer. I need a plumber to help me diagnose and fix the problem as cost effectively as possible!

my toilet in the upstairs bathroom started leaking in to my kitchen. The main drain is an old terracotta pipe and is kind of offset. I can't seem to get it to seal.

Regular home plumbing repair problems can be enough to send your life and home into a spiral. It's hard to relax when you have a bathroom sink that needs repair, or a clogged toilet in your home. Fortunately, there are a few basic steps you can take to fix your home plumbing problems. For instance, in case of clogged toilet, toilet repairs can be as simple as plunging using a plunger, and pouring some water after every few minutes to clear the obstruction. If this doesn't work, you need a professional plumber to fix the toilet. Leaky or broken faucets are some of the most common problems in any home. To fix a faucet, first turn off the water supply, and unscrew the faucet taking care to place the removed parts in the same order in which you remove them. This helps you place the parts back in order again, when it's time to screw the faucet back on. Get the defective parts replaced, and make sure you take it with you to the store so you find the right match.
To clear a clogged sink, use your trusty plunger to clear the blockage. Plungers are actually very effective and handy home plumbing repair tools, but most people use them improperly. The goal is to create as much suction as possible to remove the obstruction. Some of the most common repairs involved in bathroom plumbing are unclogging shower drains. First, remove the cover of your drain, and using your flashlight look for any visible signs of obstruction. If you see something, take a straightened wire coat hanger, and use the hook to fish out the clog. If the hanger doesn't work, use a small plunger, and if this doesn't work either, use a plumber's snake. Simply insert the snake down the drain until you reach the clog. Turn the handle clockwise to enable the hook to grab the blockage, and pull it out.
