Here's the album!
So yeah. Any idea how to fix this? Leaks from that part, so im assuming a gasket on the inside needs to be replaced but I dunno which one or what the process is. Additionally, it whistles on refill which may or may not be from the same problem. I do see that the toilet bowl...
Okay, I’m quite stupid—I see now that I do need the slip valve. I watched a YouTube video and it helped me understand what they’re for. That’d be perfect; I have a little wiggle room and don’t have to put strain on the pipes. Though I saw it in the store today and it looked a lot smaller than I...
Thanks! Yeah, ive used sharkbites/push to connect fittings several times before. I'm trying to decide if I should get this one or this one or even this one. My gut tells me the first one. Other than that I think im good to go. I cut (I guess in two spots), deburr, then slide the sharkbite in...
Yeah, he gave me that option as well. There is a small leak apparently as you can see on the bottom of that fitting, but he said its fine as the concrete is probably sealing it tightly. To put a ball valve above the gate valve that is already there. That would cost approx $600. Honestly im...
Okay, thank you. Looks like it needs to be replaced then. Was hoping it would be something else and I didnt need to replace it all. Thought it might last longer than it did.
Called a plumber. Turns out its gonna be a pretty pricey repair. Gotta dig from behind the wall since immediately after what you can see is in concrete, widen the concrete a bit so they can repair the leak with a pipe with a sleeve and add a ball valve. Really sucks but thats okay I guess. Have...
My softener has been reducing the water pressure of my house water so it's off for now. Its about 8 years old and we have chlorinated city water (not chloramine). Should I bother with resin cleaner? Does it actually work? Or should I just replace the resin or do something else? We dont have iron...
I do have a water company shutoff in the front yard and I guess I can buy a key and turn it off. I wonder if I can call a place and get a quote, if its not too expensive it might not be worth my time honestly.
My gosh, things keep piling on. I thought I was going to do a quick replacement of my refrigerators shutoff valve. Went downstairs to turn off the main and it doesn't even budge. This is a picture of the main.
It appears as if I turns downwards into the wall. I could solder it, but I don't...
