leak

Hi, I'm by no means a pro and have limited experience with plumbing, but I'm game to try simple things myself. I have some outdoor water barrels (250 l each) that collect rain water from my shed and house. I used plastic spigots with rubber seals on the inside and outside of the barrels. They...

Has anyone dealt with this kind of leak before (please view short video that I have shared here)? My plumber is slammed for the next few weeks, and I need this zone running. So I'm willing to try my hand at fixing it, but I'd be grateful for a experienced opinion (or three) as to what supplies...

I have a foundation leak and believe it is the hot water side. I noticed that in the entry way that there is a hot spot on the tile (about 2 feet long). I used a thermal imager to verify this fact. I have the shower wall open currently and used a mechanics stethoscope to hear a leak. Tonight I...

This is my first project beyond replacing the toilet innards. I’m doing my best. I bought a Glacier Bay vanity with Sinktop and a Glacier bay faucet. Everything is working fine on the water supply side but now I can’t get the drain to stop leaking. I put silicone under the drain flange. I...

Hello, I will be updating this in case anyone else has the same problem. Update 2: diverter motor seal is indeed the problem. Can be replaced from the inside of the washer. A part number that seems to fit most mass market brands is wpw10195677 Update 1: It seems highly likely this problem...

My laundry tub faucet has started leaking at the valve on the cold side. Fortunately, the leak only occurs when the valve is open. Here's a video I shot: It started when I began using a portable reverse osmosis filter attached onto the faucet. I figure the resistance caused the leak, or at...

Here was a disposer leak at the connection between the disposer rubber seal and the basket, caused by the installer not seating the snap ring in the groove. You can see on the right side the snap ring sticking out, and on the left how it's hidden. Everything looked fine to the handyman that...

Hello from Columbus, Ohio. Edit: I DON'T have laundry hooked up. There are not any machines attached. Never have been. That's why I'm wondering if the pipes have water in them at all. Thx I am really eager to get a handle on this dispute with my landlord. She's received notice from the...

Hi Guys, How do I adjust water pressure with the attached set up or do I need a regulator installed? There's a little wheel at the side of the red tap but I dont know what it's for? My current outside water pressure tested at 2 taps is about 90 as attached. I understand from Googling that it...

I just had some tenants move out and I noticed the shower / tub Moen faucet was leaking. Little more than a drip. Since I don't live there I have no idea how long it's been leaking. I could ask.....but they did not leave on good terms. I just assumed it was the 1222 cartridge. We have hard...

Below the red dial water slowly wells up where two pieces of plastic screw together on the back of the pump. Sadly I know nothing of tankless heaters but I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask since we no longer have hot water during a weekend snow storm.

Hello, I have a Lennox G51MP Furnace. I recently noticed the condensate trap is leaking. I am pretty sure it is Lennox drain trap Cat # : 61M35 | Model/Part #: LB-96382A. The leak (just a slight but constant drip) is located where the pvc meets the trap's drain stub (at least that what I think...

Hi - recently had shower stall redone. Had brand new shower pan put in - custom made tile ready shower pan. It was tiled over and a two piece marble saddle/curb put in. We just started using the shower and noticed on the outside of the shower, underneath the marble saddle there is water leaking...

I recently purchased a home and noticed that there is an open 2" pipe sleeve running through the foundation wall. Apparently, the builder was going to run the water main through the front of the house and later decided to run it in through the back. This section of pipe is below grade on the...

Hi, Could you help me troubleshoot my water heater leak issue. I see water leaking from the flue? I tightened both inlet and outlets, but continue see water seeping out from the middle. This has been in use from 2003. Let me know if this needs to be replaced. Thanks.

My old flapper was definitely not forming a tight seal, so I got it replaced. I've put a new flapper on the toilet (a Toto 3-inch), but occasionally when I flush it still won't form a tight seal so it'll leak. If I flush it again it usually fixes itself and seals properly. This only happens 30%...

Hello from Texas, y'all! I'm the new DIY gal here and I'm trying like hell to fix a leak in my bathroom. When the water is turned off at main, and I have extracted the stems, washers and seat to the tub fixtures, the cold water still runs. I have replaces the seats, washer and stems THREE...

I need help from the pro's diagnosing the cause of a leak under my console sink. The attached picture shows the source of the leak - where the water supply is connected to the cold side. I did not use any tape - pretty sure I read that you don't use tape on a metal to metal connection but maybe...

I'm usually pretty good at handling small DIY projects that pop up. But plumbing, beyond toilet flappers and minor sink repairs, has not been a challenge for me yet. Looks like that is about to change and I am wondering if I can get a little advice! My basement is unfinished except for some...
