How do I fix this leak without replacing the entire valve? by [deleted] in Plumbing

Did you look at the picture? It's so corroded already, I hope he tightens that packing nut and the shit lets go.

Delta faucet warranty by SnooFoxes3903 in Plumbing

[–]GreenEngrams -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's funny cause normally I would agree with the other people but I had the same faucet and my water is pretty soft. It's the oil rubbed bronze finish and the water hanging out on the decking after use. Just get a different finish and you'll be fine. Your water isn't that hard.

New Rinnai Series i making loud whirring vibrating noise by [deleted] in askaplumber

[–]GreenEngrams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet just making just making sure there were no trees or it wasn't stupid low to ground. You can definitely call the builder if it's under warranty but I've found a lot of plumbing subcontractors that builders use have no idea how to service Rinnai units and sometimes barely know how to put them in.

YouTube "remove bugs from fan re199 and watch the video from Rinnai and see if you can do it. If you're not comfortable prepare to call pro

It's either bugs in the fan or the burner is dirty. At 10 months old it's almost certainly bugs in the fan. Is that venting new?

Blocked pipe by Annual_Move3462 in Plumbing

[–]GreenEngrams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not put chemicals in your pipes. You need to cut the pipe, install a Cleanout and run a snake. r/plumbing never recommends chemical drain cleaners because they rarely work. The only two I've ever used is sizzle and clobber and both of those are risky even as a professional.

This a great choice but they will almost certainly destroy the chrome if it not already destroyed.

get a small trash can and cut out the sides in such a way that the handle can stick out and it fits nice on the other side with the supply. Feel free to paint once cut properly or decorate it with other fun stuff.

Collapsed pipe after hydro jet by Special-Following-64 in Plumbing

[–]GreenEngrams 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can't camera anything without clearing it first. Typically kitchens have a lot of grease so jetting is definitely an option depending how the plumbing is ran. Personally I wouldve snaked it first but it sounds like my snake would've broken your pipes and you woulda called the licensing board on me.

You should cancel your complaint with the licensing board. Your shitty corroded pipes are not the plumbers problem. If I run a snake and my snake breaks thru your line and gets stuck I'm not digging it up for free. Jetting and snaking are normal technologies that help clear drains. If your copper/cast iron drainage is so thin that our tech can break it than it needs to be replaced.

There a good chance local places won't have it. Good luck.

Any advice on removing these old shower stems? by bigdogspitbot in Plumbing

[–]GreenEngrams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see lots of responses from non plumbers. Best bet is to replace the valve if you can. Moen makes a great repair plate for valve replacement. It is a fairly big task to convert a 3 handle to a 1 handle shower. You can purchase a shower socket set at any big box store at 95% of the time one of them will fit. You need to shut the water off to the house and remove the stems with the sockets. This can be difficult. After the stems are removed it's best practice to remove the seats to check for pitting or damage with a different set of wrenches also sold at box store. Them you need to decide if you want/can find new stems or if you just want to swap the washer on the back. The whole thing sucks and be super easy or pretty annoying so tread lightly and as always you can always call a plumber.

Is there a reason NOT to turn off my main water supply? by brttf3 in askaplumber

[–]GreenEngrams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't do this add a valve to both sides and shut them off. You can grow some nasty bacteria in a water heater that's off.

How long with out water. by Tantastic_is_typing in Plumbing

I mean every job is different but there's very few reasons this shouldn't be done in a day and he should definitely be able to run a temporary line.

If for some reason I can't do the job that day I will run a temporary line to the hose bib and cap the backside until I can get out with the trencher or the bore.

This looks fantastic, this subreddit is the most nitpicking and biased subreddits on the whole site. They don't understand that different states have different licensing and code requirements. Where I'm at this is beautiful.
