    Frozen outside hose bib leaks in wall when using hose

    Let me just add that this really does happen ! I had this happen, but for a slightly different reason. The plumber that installed our frost free faucet in our new home didn't tilt/angle it at enough of a downward angle so when we turned it off, the excess water didn't drain out. We turned it...

    Frozen Soil Stack Vent

    It is currently one inch larger. The plumbing vening inside the house is 2" PVC pipe and up in the attic it goes to the 3" as I mentioned. So it sounds like in our case our plumber should have maybe used 3" venting through the housing envelope and then gone to 4" up in the attic and...

    Frozen Soil Stack Vent

    We've built two new homes in the past 14 years and both of them have had the same problem with the soil stack (plumbing vent) freezing when the temps get way under zero for a number of days in a row.....you know, a 20 or 25 below kind of thing. Our soil stack is 3" white PVC Pipe and sticks...

    sewage ejector pump failing ??

    We moved into a new home in September 2003 which has one basement bathroom (toilet, shower and sink) as well as a front load washer which are served by a Wayne DSP410 Sewage Ejector pump (4/10 HP) with a tether switch. Ok...here are the facts. I sometimes tend to get wordy trying to impart...
