flooding

New home owner here! Had a line crack while changing the faucet, my first instinct was to run down to the basement to shut the water off. Of course I was in a panic and shut off the valve coming into the house to the pressure tank (well water here) and then the valve coming out of the tank...

My guest bedroom has specific area where water is coming in. DIY if possible, all advice welcome. Reference: Home is 30+ years old, Arizona, concrete slab. Room flooring is slab then pad then carpet nailed to wood tacking strips. Water issue is isolated to a corner from a length of North Wall...

I'm looking for some clarification if the poly line running under this new tile floor was cut by the sharp tile (underneath). The tile guy is not taking any responsibility for this line being cut by the sharp tile. I have seen tile cut a poly/PEX line in the past and that is why tile guys...

Hello, we have a hot water tank from 2004, a sealed combustion type from GE. Recently our basement flooded which knocked out the pilot. When trying to relight the pilot I could see the spark from the little view window but alas no flame. I uninstalled the combustion unit to check inside and...

Hi All, So I have been dealing with this problem and I feel like I need an outside unbiased opinion and advice so I know if I am down the right path or I am going to get screwed. Beginning of November, my basement floods, partially and only about maybe an inch. This keeps happening though. On...

We upgraded from a 100 AMP Service to a 200 AMP Service. New wires were needed from the pedestal in the backyard to the meter on the house. The contractor placed Schedule 40, 3" electric conduit and placed a pull wire for the utility company. The problem is that location of pedestal ponds...

I have been dealing with a sump pump that goes on too much during and after storms for the past 7 years. I finally have time to tackle this project but was hoping for some advice. I have watched a ton of videos over the years and know the basics like call about utilities before digging. Be...

Hi- We are considering purchasing a row home in Baltimore city but it has water running into the basement that is pumped into the storm drain with a sump pump about every 10 minutes on a dry day. The two homes flanking the home have the same issue and no one knows the source but it's been an...

Hi all! I am new to this forum and I am reaching out because I simply do not know where else to turn. I bought my first house just about a year ago. We started having plumbing issues almost immediately which were due to ancient cast iron pipes. So, we have replaced those to PVC. Everything...

I think water is coming up from under floor around this pipe which is in middle of the basement in the wall. I knocked out the drywall and pipe comes from floor to about 5 ft high with a vented cap on it. I can't get pic to upload. I think is a vent of some sort. I cannot find a floor drain...

Hello, everyone my name is Jason. I was hoping i could pick some brains about a clothes washer that is installed in massachusetts. I checked the forum for mass but no one goes there so I'm trying my luck here. Problem: washing machine was full of water and overflowing onto the floor. The...

We recently moved into a remodeled apartment. Since we moved into a remodeled apartment, we have noticed how the toilet flushes on its own, when the neighbor's flushes their toilet, our floors are left with puddles all throughout the apartment, and unexplained water coming from the floors. What...

Hi all, New to the forum. We have two toilets at home. One doesn't flush well (does this gurgling/bubbling thing) and one used to work. The city flooded for a couple of days and now neither toilets work. The water still "drains", no actual flushing. It goes down VERY slowly. We have recently...

Moved into a new house several weeks ago -- have been using the plumbing and appliances (dishwasher & washing machine) as one usually might. Yesterday, I saw there was water on the floor of the basement. I did also see some shreds of paper-like material on the floor -- perhaps it was in the pipe...
