I am looking at replacing my 50 gallon NG Water Heater and aside from the up front costs of electric/condensate line/capping the gas and vent (which are not small), the EPAs calculators appear to show a significant savings over ten years versus Natural Gas. Despite my searches this topic doesn't...

Got it. Thank you for your experience-I will dig up this line and pour rootX and keep fingers crossed on the other line under the hardscape. (i have a backup sump if it gets overwhelmed)

I dug up about eight feet of pipe near the two happiest bushes/trees along the line hoping I'd get the intrusion but no luck. I think it may be a few more feet down at the next junction. But I have the same trouble on the other side of the house-so I came here to see if folks think I can get...

Color is white. I've only uncovered one 'joint' so far. I'll put the photo in below but basically they just compressed one pipe end and jammed it into the other. I dug out about 1/4 of the pipe run down the front yard and found multiple cracks but no roots entering. There were large rocks on top...

I have three inch PVC drain lines from the back of the house to the street. In heavy rain they carry the water to the curb. They are (I guess) a standard, triple wall PVC-and it is pretty thin stuff since it isn't pressurized. The house is 20 years old and the lines are choked with roots. On...

The only equipment that is visible are six 1" valves. If there is a backflow preventer it is buried somewhere. I'm in San Diego and the house is about 9 years old. The impacts are mixed brands and haven't been maintained so i'll dig up the ones that have the bright green circles around...

Thanks for the advice. Since i posted i noticed that two of the impact heads are RainBirds and the others Toro. At this point i want to replace all the heads and end up with 6 Rotor heads on the exterior of the lawn and one in the middle. This should give me head to head coverage. Since the...

I bought a house last summer and am having trouble with the back lawn irrigation system. There is a circle lawn with about a 48.5' diameter. There are 5 perimeter Toro impact sprinkers evenly spaced around 3/4 of the lawn and the last 1/4 has four spray heads. There is also an impact sprinkler...

I'm in escrow on a house and would like to get your point of view on a plumbing issue they have disclosed. The house is two story and was built in 2000. According to the disclosures in the summer of 2003 two of the upstairs toliets were repaired because of 'faulty seals'. One leaked through...
