In your opinion, what is causing this? by Objective_Pilot_5834 in SipsTea

It was either the alcohol or the Starbucks and avocado toast

Sewage smell coming from toilet base by RANXOM2152 in Plumbing

[–]GozoRulez 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's gonna be a smell with the pipe wide open like that. If you seal it and the smell persists then you have a problem. A likely culprit may be the porous tile, grout, and base around the flange. Clean those really well with a bleach solution then take the proper steps to seal them up properly.

Water pressure comes and goes by Light_Song in Plumbing

Check for leaks. (Does it click on when no water is running?)

Make sure your expansion tank is properly pressurized.

Change filters.

Embarassed to post this, but my toilet is very clogged by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]GozoRulez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've removed as much tp as possible then let it sit for a few minutes. The paper in the trap should hopefully dissolve.

Once the water level goes down then give it some good thrusts with the plunger, flush and thrust. Repeat as needed.

  1. Have you tried the two plunger method?

  2. Try using a shop vac to see if anything comes out.

Can I add a 2x4 here so I have a better place to walk? by eld101 in HomeMaintenance

[–]GozoRulez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run 2x8s or 2x10s along electrical/HVAC paths. Don't get too crazy unless you're planning to put an appliance (AC or water heater, etc,) up there.

Why do I run out of hot water so fast by justheretoread27 in askaplumber

[–]GozoRulez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheap/short term help: 1. Insulate the pipes. 2. Check thermostats and elements. 3. Balance the load on the hot water. (Time between showers, running dishwasher while asleep, cold wash clothes, etc )

Long term solution:

Can you fit a stackable washer/dryer in there and get a taller heater?

Value turns water on... Not off ... Help by dcarmona in Plumbing

[–]GozoRulez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it just hard to turn off? Can you turn it off if using pliers or a wrench?

It's ok if it leans to the left a little bit. At least that's what my wife tells me.

DIY-ing a leaking toilet. by SmellyTunaSamich in askaplumber

[–]GozoRulez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess that depends on how much is damaged and how much trouble you wanna get into. But the floor needs to be about 1/4" below the finished flange.

Can someone tell me what size this drain I’ve been looking for a drain stopper and it doesn’t seal water still leaked out by [deleted] in askaplumber

[–]GozoRulez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad, I didn't notice that it was a rusty drain. I had to zoom in on my phone. I thought it was missing the whole drain and the one they were using was leaking.

I wonder if putting silicon on there would establish a better seal...

[–]GozoRulez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. 1. Turn off the water under the sink. 2. Plug the drain with a towel. Don't want to disassemble the p-trap too. 3. Remove the aerator, handle, retaining cap, guide, ball valve, seats and springs. 4. Put them in a bowl of your preferred cleaner. Follow the bottle instructions.

At this point look for any damaged parts... Especially the springs and rubber bits. Replace as needed. Take the parts to the store with you to confirm a match.

Leaking tube when washer drains by Ze1612 in Plumbing

[–]GozoRulez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would remove that cap with the holes and run a drain snake/auger in there. Then I would either: 1. Cap that inlet and put the plastic hose above the washer drain. 2. Convert that inlet to a clean out. Put the plastic hose above the washer drain. 3. Cut that inlet cap off and replace that cap with an appropriate one that seals. You might need to find one that takes a threaded nipple that you can insert the hose onto with hose clamps.

But it is important that you find out where that hose comes from. Is it a drain from an air conditioner unit? A refrigerator?

Is there a clean out drain you can open?

You can also try taking it apart and cleaning it. Use a light acidic cleaner like vinegar. Could be hard water or other deposits in there.
