Wondering if having the hot water doing all these corners will create an issue?

There was a vanity in place here, and I'm swapping it with a pedestal.

Don't want to have the bowl against the wall, so the pedestal needs to be 3 inches to the right of the original set up.

How would you address this without moving the drainage pipe in the wall?

I am going to replace this manifold. Its 26 years old, and obviously leaking and about to be a disaster. I am debating with wether to go back with copper, or plastic this time. I would prefer crimp vs expansion rings. Our water has high TDS, about 800, and it is softened.

Thoughts?

I trimmed my beard today and drained water with hair as it was hard to collect. I made a huge mistake. Is there a way to fix it or do I need to call a plumber to remove my clogged beard hair. Please help, I know I messed up. :(

Hey all, was hoping someone could offer some advice on this leaky faucet. The handles don't appear to be removable from the top (no removable tops or spots for an Allen key). Do I need to be removing these plastic nuts from the bottom, and if so any advice on getting in there (they seem pretty stuck). Alternatively do those two screws in the middle have anything to do with it?

Any help is much appreciated!

When I flush, I get a leak from the vacuum breaker tube at the end of the flush cycle. Ive tried changing the vacuum rubber material, the vacuum tube and I changed out the actual flush valve assembly and still get a constant leak.this line is only serving the single toilet and it has a hammer arrestor on it. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

Hit the toilet water supply while cutting off the flange. Am I in trouble?

I'd like to drain my outdoor spigot to remove any trapped water. There is a white pin located in the faucet. Do I need to push up on it or side to side? A YouTube video said side to side, but I read online that I need to push up on it.

I don't want to break it and was wondering which way I should push the pin?

Here are two photos of my spigot

Any advice on how to get this out? Sometimes I have hot water for a bit, sometimes none at all, just room temp.

I took the nipple off thinking the dip tube would be easy to take out and I cant grt the gasket off or the dip tube. This is a Rheem Performance. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello all! Moved into a house that is on septic and has a garbage disposal and a dishwasher. Everything I've read indicates both of these can be problematic for the drain fields of the septic system due to food waste eventually clogging up the drain fields. I've already removed the garbage disposal, but there's a demand to leave the dishwasher. We have fine mesh strainers in the sink drains (at the top, of course) but there's nothing for the dishwasher. We do rinse off the dishes before putting them into the dishwasher, but something always slips through. So, I was wondering if there was some kind of box or cylinder that would have a fine mesh in it that would sit inline and could strain the water and be cleanable to remove the food particulars that will accumulate there from the dishwasher and sinks. Has anyone seen or heard of such a strainer? I don't think a regular water filter system is something I'd want to use here given the amount of food waste that's likely to get through. Looking for something more like a strainer than a filter. Thanks!

Had my sewer line inspected and was told there’s an offset underneath the street. The plumber recommended pipe bursting and said a liner wouldn’t work.
Based on the photo, does the offset look too severe for CIPP lining? Are there other repair options?
The sewer is functioning fine, but the sewer district is requiring a repair. Just looking for second opinions before spending thousands. Thanks!

I have a video but it won’t let me add it.

Very old house, and I can't switch off the water going to this upstairs toilet. How can I remove it?

I bought a house with this wrapped up around the main water line in the basement. I did some research before posting and I some what understand what it does. It’s suppose to be some type of descaling device for pipes. Question is does it actually work? Should I keep it or throw it away or simply unplug it?

how does one get a new construction plumbing job as someone with zero prior experience, I have some tools and im ready to work hard but I am not sure how to approach getting a construction plumbing job. any advice helps.

What can I even do with this? It’s so beyond stuck on there. I got one screw out and the other broke off at the base.

All the advice I saw online was to just cut the top of the faucet off, so I tried but the sawzall blade isn’t long enough reach over the sink edge all the way to the faucet “stem” that low, and there’s a stupid washer underneath that prevents me from pulling it up further to get the blade under while angled.

I took the whole sink off and flipped it upside down only to find that because the way the sink is made, the space is just too tight to work with.

Whoever invented this enclosure method, I hope you never know peace.

We got home noticed this is leaking and we can’t seem to make it temporarily stop. Tried to identify which part this is and hopefully be able to fix it. Can you help me identify it and is this something I need a professional do?

Hi everyone! I’m coming here because I’m pretty exhausted of working on this. Last Sunday our kitchen faucet was leaking. Easy fix, it’s happened to my dad before and we needed to change the cartridge and tighten the handle. That was easy. While turning the hot water shutoff valve off under the sink it broke. Left it for the week off because it was a hectic week. Went to fix it today, it was a clamped part on the end we couldn’t cut off and had to cut the plastic pipe. Decided to get a shark push to connect belt based on advice. Put that on, needed an adaptor and added a new braided supply line. Turned it on and it works well, but it’s leaking very slowly. Wrapped a paper towel around it and put a bowl under it to check and around an hour later paper towel was damp but no water in bowl. What am I doing wrong? What can I fix? This took five hours today and 3 trips to home hardware. Do I need to push my valve further on because that’s where it’s leaking. I just want this to finally be fixed because my dishwashers been sitting with dirty dishes for a week😂

Photos I’ve taken are attached below. Please only helpful advice I’m losing my mind over this!!!!

Editing to add: I ran my washing machine and did dishes by hand with water at same time and no hissing or issue. Google is saying it’s 99% secure but may not be on right or pipe not sanded down enough?

Hello, can I get some advice please! Recently I noticed my tub leaking so I called a friend and they recommended another guy to come and fix it but after he changed the cold water cartridge it still continued to leak. So I took the cartridge out and realized he had used an O-ring that wasn’t necessary so I’m assuming that’s why it was leaking. However, I accidentally broke the new cartridge O ring and I have to wait until tomorrow to get a new one. But there’s water leaking out of this pipe and I have already shut off the water completely so I’m confused as to why there’s water still leaking out. So, is it a cartridge problem and me replacing it will stop the leaking. Or is it that something is wrong with this pipe and that’s why it’s leaking. I know nothing about plumbing, my dad is usually the one to fix these types of things so thanks for any advice it’s really appreciated! (Ignore the DIY funnel thing I had to make to stop the water from leaking down into the wall)

I’m not sure if I’m just being stupid but I recently got a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 4000 boiler installed and although I do have warranty I’m hesitant to get in touch with the company (BOXT here in the UK) because their customer service is not very good. Anyway the heating keeps turning itself on (flame icon is displayed on thermostat and radiators heat up). The thermostat says it’s on manual mode and I can’t seem to figure out the issue? There also seems to be no rhyme or reason to it, won’t happen for days then happens twice in a few hours.

I took a picture of the thermostat the last time I noticed this happening which I’ve included

Also possibly unrelated but the pipes bang so loudly when the heating is on that it’s impossible to sleep in the house? Any ideas of potential causes/fixed? House was built in 1969 and pipework hasn’t been changed since.

My water meter union connection on the outdoor main supply side is leaking and need to know what type and size gasket is needed. Before disconnecting the shutoff valve in picture it needs to be turned off and has not been use in over 30 years. Should I be concerned and is there anything I can do to prevent the gate valve from failing, leaking or any other issue. Can the valve be rebuilt if need which means shutoff the street shutoff. I really would prefer to not breakdown the existing pipe connection and replace the gate valve to ball. Thanks

Hello all,

I have a hot water heater that’s probably around 3-4 years old.

All of sudden, it stopped producing hot water. I initially check heating elements and the lower one was below 12 ohms. So I changed both heating elements.

Still wasn’t heating up so I replaced the thermostat on both upper and lower. Still not heating up.

I tested the two top screw of the upper thermostat and turns out there is 0 volts coming to the heater.

I test breaker and it is running normal (120V with one hot and ground). There is also an outlet that runs on the same line with a light plugged in and that works while the heater doesn’t.

So any ideas of what in the world is going on? I’ve contacted someone to come look at it Monday, but if I could figure it out before then I’d prefer that.

TIY!
