I was ablet to fix it, it was the the valve cartridge needed to be replaced, it works now. BTW to get the bonnet nut off I had to use a hack saw th make a grove in it, using a flathead I hit it with a hammer to untwist it. Using a pipe wrinch would have broken the pipes in the wall.

Pictured below I have that shower faucet. I am not sure if it just wore out or if it was turned too hard or what, but what I do know is it used to work normal. Normal was: Off at 3 o'clock, turning counter clockwise it would go from cold to warmer, warmer, hot, hottest at 9 o'clock where the...

Thank you both for your help... Can I do something like this? They are about 19 feet apart latterally and on different floors. Can I just go across like in the photo? Top Floor Bathroom is on the left Bottom Floor bathroom is on the right Photo is an example of what I am thinking...Can I...

Hi, So I am designing a 2 story addition to my house that will have a 1/2 bath down stairs, toilet and sink, and a full bath upstairs that will have shower - tub, toilet, sink, Looking at the two photos, you can see where the two bathroom layout, they are on top of each other and the top...

I am the one fixing it. I have not been able to get back to the house, but its working... for now. I will probably not be able to get there for a week. I bought a "JetSnake" which is very similar to the Clog Hog that Reach4 suggested. I am starting to think its not needed based on the...

It appears that it actually did not get under the laminant, at least its not warping and its very dry.

I should have said thanks to you as well reach4 Yes I know what you mean, but as a landlord of a nice house I certainly do not want to pay tens of thousands of dollars if the sewer backed up and then have to deal with the tenets. To your point, or I assume what your point is, the guy at...

Thanks all for the advice and help, all you guys... Turtles, Chewwong, Jeff Young. According to the previous owner: "The problem only happens every once in a while when someone flushes too much paper or a tampon or something that is not supposed to be there" Tenants said they did not do...

Yes, there was flow and the flow was about like this video, which I think is a little slow. Note, this is not my house or video. I did not see the water start flowing, so maybe it’s backing up? I think in this video it’s also backing up, the flow seems slow to me

OH, I saw this and never read it!! Yes, this is the same doc from here: https://www.ferguson.com/product/proflo-3-in-plastic-hub-backwater-valve-pf42852/_/R-855034 and it says on 7 like you pointed out: After cleaning, carefully inspect the o-ring gasket on the lid and the o-ring gasket or...

OK, so I got the lid off. Its a Proflo 42852 https://www.ferguson.com/product/proflo-3-in-plastic-hub-backwater-valve-pf42852/_/R-855034 I am trying to figure out if the flap on the inside needs a rubber gasket because as you can see in the picture there is a ring grove for one but there is...

Yes that would be a better option but would cause me to have to tear everything out. Mine is the proflo 42852 and is pushed open by the water flowing out.

great suggestion, I had already bought this one, but yours can do 1.5" pipes, I wont need that this time, but maybe in the future. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083NRB3NG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1#customerReviews

Yes, thanks brother, I plan to do just that as it is the easiest thing to see if there is an issue, just not easy to get off.

Agree, and thank you, I am going to clean out the line with a pressure washertool and I plan to build a gravel pit and valve cover box for the valve once I get the lid off.

Good thought on the board! I am not there so I can't measure it but I can bring a board and cut it on site.

Ok, I will have to dig a huge hole next to it to get my channel locks on the rim. I will have to do that. Then I will clean all the dirt off of it and back fill with gravel and an axis box. Temps get down to 1 degree sometimes in the winters here, I assume because there is little water...

Thanks for the continued help...Where is the main trap? I am not sure how I am going to get channel locks on there without breaking off those tabs. Once I get if fixed I will be sure to back fill with gravel and put a box over the top of it so that no more dirt gets on it, this is ridiculous.

What tool gets this off? I think mine is about 6 inches across

Sorry, there are no trees anywhere near this line and I believe they empty into the main sewer about 25 feet away. The closest tree is 75 feet away on the other side of a driveway, a fence and in another yard.
