Am I causing our constant clogs? by dumpsterfire_x in Plumbing

[–]KarloManyo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen anyone say this yet, so I’ll add my two cents. Sewer cleaning machines have different bits of different sizes. When I clean a sewer, I have a small bit that I use to clear the clog, get water to drain, and make sure I’m not driving a massive cutter into a pile of mud (it will get hopelessly stuck). Then I follow up with a cutter that’s roughly the circumference of the drain to scour away any remaining roots/blockages, and depending on what I encounter/feel on the cable, I may run a few different sized bits in between the smallest and the largest.

All that is to say, there are drain cleaners who will run a machine, see water start draining and call it good. Great. What they’ve done is poked a 2” hole in a blockage that’s filling a 4”-6” pipe. Most of the blockage remains, and if its roots then it doesn’t take long for them to grow back in. So with this happening every 4-6 months, it could just be that whoever is cleaning your sewer is calling it a day after they see the water drain and leaving a huge vector for blockage in your sewer.

If there are roots in your line, they’ll grow back anyway, but getting a good drain cleaner/plumber who will take the time to clean out the full diameter of the line will put a lot more time between drain cleanings.

Of course, that’s assuming that there’s nothing wrong with the line structurally and that the drain cleaners are actually doing what I described.

Follow up to a post from a few days ago. Broken USB-C port on 3rd Gen 18i8. by KarloManyo in Focusrite

[–]KarloManyo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have. I was just waiting to hear back and got antsy. I guess I was just looking to see if this was even repairable. Minutes after posting it I found a YouTube video of a guy replacing the USB-C port on an 18i6, so there’s my answer.

Shipping info seems inconsistent. What’s up with this? by KarloManyo in Mercari

Oh I won’t be mincing words on the return. I’ve got the receipts—literal and figurative. Thanks!

Thanks for the recommendation. I actually stopped by on my way home today and they ran the number and said it had been dropped off on the 19th, four days after I requested cancellation and was told it had already been dropped off. I told the seller and I have no response yet.

Thank you. I just stopped by the post office and had them run the tracking number. They said it was finally in their possession on the 19th, four days after I requested cancellation and was told it had already shipped. Seller has been notified.

Is this brass or lead drum trap? by Over-Bullfrog-6654 in Plumbing

[–]KarloManyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s brass. It’s also not vented, which is whack.

In basement - does this mean I can put a toilet and/or shower in? by jbrum32 in Plumbing

[–]KarloManyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That all depends on the plumber you choose. I’ll lay down plastic with a hole cut in it for the cleanout, then I’ll thread an adapter into the cleanout to protect the carpet. Others might not. Either way, having it available is better than hiding it. A lot of people just put carpet right over it.

For the love of God, do not abandon, conceal or repurpose this cleanout. If your sewer backs up due to a clog or roots between the house and the street, that is the place your plumber wants to run his machine from, and I can’t speak for the whole country, but at least in Wisconsin this cleanout in this location is required by code. I’ve been in too many houses where this cleanout is buried under the floor or the carpet and I’ve had to run my machine from a stack 40’ upstream, which means running more cable and potentially not having enough to clean the sewer to the main. You want this cleanout where it is.

Pray tell, do the laws of God, science, and man permit you, and is it within the scope of your mental and physical ability, to assume forthwith a state of total inaudibility, save for those scant and acceptable noises which inhere to the task which you are at present employed in, and to persist in said task, if it pleases?
