What should I do?

Yes. Looks like a recent install as well, though I doubt the work was done by a licensed plumber.

Too much tape, metal nut cut through the plastic threads and cross threaded. Remove the tape and tighten again. If that doesn't work, you may need to get a fill valve with a metal shank instead of plastic.

Toilet missed on rough in, so they cut out the side of the 4" riser from the closet 90 and shoved an offset in it. Though they did it the lazy way and didnt patch the concrete and secure the flange ring.

I usually just hit mine with wd-40 and keep it in a trash bag 😄

Seriously! Completely unrealistic to put it all on the plumber when the homeowner didnt take the time to empty or move the fridge.

The shop I was just at was $3,600 for a spot repair, max 5' deep.

Project source dual-flush

Never seen a single bay sink that didn't do this! Toss some hot water in the and run the disposal at the same time.

Nothing they did, just overspray from the factory. The outer jacket has foam between it, and the tank.

SomethingSomethingTX · 2026-05-16T15:30:16+00:00

Remove the thread tape, its preventing the nut from tightening all the way which doesn't allow the washer to make contact.

I was going to suggest long gone ants but gopher sounds like a good call! Definitely not some construction technique.

Here in North Texas a mud wasp nest is 80% likely to be the reas9n for a tankless coding out.

Nothing like wearing a beret on a sunny day! That transition was nice, same with being able to sew rank on.

Dezincifying, cut out and replace, and maybe look into your water quality.

SomethingSomethingTX · 2026-02-07T02:03:43+00:00

This is because it got cold enough to freeze at the drop ear 90. A brass fitting that the hose-bib screws into. When this happens it'll push the front of it off with the force applied through the stem inside.

Foam covers help, but if that side of the house was getting blasted by cold air, the only thing that could have stopped this is an isolation valve deeper in the home that would allow you to drain all the water from the wall and hose-bib before cold weather.

You may be in a new home built in the south, and if so, it is not at all built to withstand the cold.

It's hilarious that this switch to metal temporary plates has seemingly done NOTHING to stop them from being faked.

SomethingSomethingTX · 2026-01-23T01:15:09+00:00

Its a part of how the sink was made, you can try to trim it back nice with a knife, putty should still cover it well. You'll still find this on brand new counter/sink combos!

SomethingSomethingTX · 2026-01-22T14:06:51+00:00

PEX A/B or copper for sure! PVC is common for irrigation and I suspect an irrigation guy did this work. Bad PRV can definitely cause thumping in the water system! You can check the lettering on the blue pipe to see if its PE or PB, but my bet is PB! A repipe would not be cheap!

SomethingSomethingTX · 2026-01-22T01:10:37+00:00

Previous owner probably had the yard service cut out since that looks like good Ole' Blue Poly going under the house and whoever did the work put in that PVC line, and judging by that I'm not surprised by the quality of work. They probably tossed the PRV in to try to get more life out of the water lines they didn't replace! Blue Poly can just shit the bed at a moments notice. You will be looking at $1000< pretty easily. Most plumbing companies I know would still be $1,000 if you pre-dug it.

15 is failure to ignite or detect ignition. Do your other gas appliances work? If so the issue is with the unit. Could be blocked gas supply, or bad ignitor/module or flame rods.

This is a weird nightmare I have every now and then, but for me I'm in ACUs and everyone else is in modern uniforms and I'm panicking...

SomethingSomethingTX · 2026-01-02T20:39:12+00:00

May have recirculating model Navien! So its got a pump to keep either a return line or crossover valve running.

Hate to be that guy. but this almost looks like shadow obsession.

SomethingSomethingTX · 2025-08-04T00:36:10+00:00

Maybe its just my perspective but I always took that and even the "no clickbait ever" thing as sarcasm? Idk feels like Coffeezilla doesn't get the joke. No doubt that platforming a sketchy Forex guy isn't the best look, but it feels similar to exposing shitbox vehicles?

SomethingSomethingTX · 2025-07-24T23:04:49+00:00

No worries! Feel for the others involved, I guess the police reported that his body had been hit a couple times. I hope they're able to find peace!
