We rented a house in February and have had no plumbing or sewer problems until a few weeks ago. In April our neighborhood has a sewer overfill into the local lagoons. The water company promptly adddressed and corrected the issue. About two weeks later the water on our street was shut off while the water & sewer company did some "repairs". Since then our house has has exteremly lower water pressure, none of our toilets are flushing fully, and when we run water from a sink, shower, dishwasher, washing machine, etc. the toilets will randomly sound like their refilling the tank (for example if we run a sink or shower in the master bath the master bath toilet will sound like it's refilling, or if we run the washing machine downstairs the toilet downstairs with sound like it's refilling). I called our landlord who told us to call a plumber, if it was our fault we would be liable for paying him, if not she would cover the expenses. I called three plumbers and explained what's happening and they told me to call the water & sewer company. Called the water & sewer company and they told me to call a plumber. I've checked all the flappers and seals, everything seems to be working correctly. I'm out of ideas, and stuck in a catch 22. Does anyone have an idea of what may be going on, and or how to correct it? Much appreciated, Michelle

Ok, I've been getting conflicting advice on what's acceptable for this tub I've recently placed in my 5x8 bath. The tub is in place with maybe 1/2 inch slope toward drain, 1/8 inch or less slope from back wall toward apron. Sound acceptable? I did not use a ledger as this tub is sitting on a slab and I don't think I could handle getting a ledger perfectly installed. This thing weighs 350 lb. Also, someone suggested I place nails into studs just above the lip. This would obviously keep my cement board from butting flush to the lip. Is there actually a reason to do this? Thanks all, once again, for your terrific guidance.
