    Sewage Pump stops with a THUD

    My sewer line leaves the house well above the basement floor. To compensate for this, there is a small pump in a sealed chamber that takes any water from the floor drain and pumps it up to the main sewer line. I recently had a flow-through humidifier installed. This causes the sewer pump to...

    Gas Line Filter?

    I don't know if this is appropriate for this board or not, but I figured that most plumbers have some experience with gas lines too. Anyway, I have a commercial natural gas stove with a pilot on each burner (6 total). The pilots slowly get lower and lower over several months until they refuse...

    Submersible vs. Jet Pump Setup

    A while back you guys (and gals?) gave me some great advice. I was looking at burying a concrete cistern to collect rainwater for irrigation purposes. Now the time has nearly arrived and I've got a few quick technical questions: 1. If I use a submersible pump, I plan to lay it a few inches...

    Pool Wiring

    I desperately need to replace the power run to my inlaw's pool. They jumpered it off of the sunroom circuit which was probably already overloaded. You should see the lights dim when the pump kicks on. I guess that's what you get when you let pool guys do electric work. Anyway, the easiest...

    Unused Washing Machine Standpipe

    I have two washing machine hook-ups in my house. We only have one washer and dryer. I occasionally pour water down the unused standpipe to keep the trap full. I know as time goes on, I know I'll forget to do this and it will start smelling. I don't want to permanently seal this standpipe off...

    Whole House Humidifier

    We've got really low humidity in our house. It's been bad all winter. We purchased a cheap humidifier and have been running it at night in the bedroom while we sleep. It seems to be helping. However, I'd like to "fix" the low humidity throughout the entire 3000 sqft house. (I can't count...

    Garbage Disposer Code Question

    I recently (about 8 months ago) had a "final plumbing" inspection on my house. The plumber did all of the rough in, and I did all of the finishing (installing faucets, sink traps, toilets, etc.) I got dinged by the inspector because I had my dishwasher drain hose hooked to my garbage disposer...
