Shut off the water and drain the tank. Push the flush handle to drain the water, and because the water is shut off no more water will be refilling the tank. Then inspect the flush valve at the bottom of the tank and remove it by undoing the ears that hold it in place. Remove the strap that is connected with the flash valve and handle so the flush valve can be replaced. Often flush valves leak because they are broken or cracked, but they can easily be replaced by a new one.

Remodel your bathroom to Increase your real estate value |
|
|
| |
The bathroom is an important part of a home and when your house is ready to hit the real estate market you don’t want to take a hit on your selling price because you missed the boat and have the 1960’s bathroom that “works” for your lifestyle. It could be time to remodel your bathroom for a boost in real estate value.
Real Estate professionals say that a home without a bathtub will usually sell for $10 000 less than a home of equal value with a bathtub. Maybe a shower has always worked for your lifestyle and sacrificing some space in your bathroom hasn't’t been worth installing a bathtub. Now it’s time to sell and when your home is hitting the market you should consider the costs of adding a bathtub so you don’t lose a potential $10 000 on the sale of your home.

Plan a renovation |
|
|

The Bathroom in your home has to be one of the most popular rooms in the house, and it can be a very expensive room to renovate. What kind of shape your current bathroom is in along with the budget you have allowed will depend on what you can and cannot do. Assuming your bathroom is due for a total renovation, the first thing to do is take a measurement of the length and width for the total square feet.
After you have your measurements, it is best to draw a quick blueprint on a piece of paper to bring with you to the hardware and plumbing stores you visit though your planning; you will be looking at a tub you may like but you need to know if you can even place this tub in your current space. Having this piece of paper with your measurements will save you money and time with return trips to double check.
