Actually if I run water through a hose there is no leak as it doesn't get into the gap. When water flows along the wall of the pipe some of flows into the gap.

It seems that my shower drain pipe is separating from the sewer line. I have been noticing the baseboard next to it getting damp at the bottom and an investigation led me to this conclusion. What is the easiest way to fix this? Please don't tell me to break my 1 year old shower pan.

This is a tiled shower with liner, concrete etc. I think I fixed the problem. I applied putty to the gap between the strainer body and drain pipe. There was a 0.5' gap there. but I am still not sure how water leaks after entering the gap. I took a shower today and there has been no signs of...

I notice water leaking behind the tiled wall of my 1 year old shower. I cut out drywall near the floor and noticed it too few minutes for water to appear when shower is running. The shower head connection is fine. I also poured a bucket of water through the drain pipe using a funnel with no...

I had a shower (marble) built around a year ago and I noticed that the baseboard paint in the adjoining walk-in-closet is peeling off at the bottom. Also the grout at the floor/wall intersection is turning orange. I cleaned it off with vinegar and baking soda. I do not feel any dampness on the...

No. Its just an ordinary cooking thermometer.

Used a cup of crushed ice. Waited for it to melt a bit and set thermometer to 32 F. Thermometer is pretty close to HVAC thermostat.

I was told dip tubes could melt during soldering.

New. Dec 2013. Kitchen has the hottest water in the house. It is the closest to the heater too. Can the water cool 15 F in 10 ft of copper pipes (in slab)? Water doesnt cool down at faucet after it reaches the max.

Ok. Any possibiity of a broken dip tube? I was told dip tube could have been broken during soldering (instalation) and I am getting hot and cold water through my hot faucet.

I turned it up to 140 F last night. Kitchen is at 125 F.

Cooking thermometer. I also calibrated it. 2 months old. Electric.

Kitchen is hottest at 110 F. Furthest faucet is at 106 F.

Any reason why the kitchen faucet is giving water at 110 F when the heater is set at 120? Heater is 10 feet away.

Both my peerless faucets are not hot enough. I replaced both the hot water supply cartridges. When it is running I can barely hear water flowing out of the heater. When I run other faucets water flow is more evident. Water doesnt flow when the heater suppky is shut off.

I ran the master faucet and I could barely hear anything at the water heater. I ran the guest faucet and I could definitely hear something at the heater. I am not sure if this means anything. Master is 1.5gpm and guest is 2gpm.

I turned off the heater and the hot water stopped flowing at all faucets. I guess then it's not a crossover. This is a picture of my shower valve.

This happened the day we replaced our heat pump. Our old one used to supply hot water to the heater using heat from the heat pump. Now its just the water heater giving hot water. The water used to be very hot back then so I guess when it was mixed with cold it gave me hot water. Now since the...

No. I tried replacing all cartridges for single handle faucets and the sink hot water faucets too. I shut off the laundry cold water supply. Nothing seems to change. Its like the master shower and sinks are on a different hot water line.

My his and her sinks also give lukewarm water. Only my tub is giving hot water in the master bath. The guest bath is fine. I was told that there could be a croosover at the faucets but it is 2 handled. So I am not sure how the cold water gets into the hot water pipe.
