    How to stop Back-flow into overflow ?

    My plumber did not install an overflow when my water softener was fitted, something I found out when it failed and flooded the floor !

    Kitchen sink overflow

    Can this be fixed? The grill on the overflow on our kitchen sink fell out yesterday. I can feel whatever the grill was connected to when I put my finger in the hole, but can't see how I can get it back into position and screw the grill to it. Any suggestions please??

Subsequently, I reached out to my second...

    Hi, I wonder if you could help me. The overflow pipe drips intermittently from the large cold water storage tank in the loft. Not the small F and E tank.
