    Sound in water main

    So I go to the basement and hear noise where my water main enters the house. It sounds as though a faucet is on and water is being used, BUT all my faucets are closed. I go over and notice the water meter is not turning. SO I don't think much about it - since I am not being charged for the...

    toilet to urinal rough in

    I was looking into the urinal that goes to the floor, for the children, but in the end we decided to go with the wall mount. I guess it doesn't look to hard to do, if there is a vent right there. If not, and If i need to tap off the toilet drain pipe, do i cut off the flange portion and...

    changed vent pipe to PVC but not aligned

    thanks, But the reason why i changed it out was because the long piece of the pvc was coming off the wall too much, makes my framing very difficult. I understand if i cut the short piece a little it should come out more aligned, BUT that would make the long pvc pipe come away from the wall...

    Hi there I changed the galvanized steel vent pipe to PVC, because it was going to be in the way of my new basement wall. It needed to be shifted over by about 1.5 inches towards the wall. Long story short, I did it, but it is not perfectly aligned at the no-hub area. Here are the photos...
