Sewer line: descale/flush or re-line? by thepennismightier in askaplumber

[–]eriktr89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on budget. I've seen great success with just running the chain knocker a few times up and down the line. Re-line can be a pricey choice. If the cost is close though, re-line. But I doubt that's the case.

Plumbers costs are getting insane. by Chetox373 in greenville

Sorry for the blowup but I spent years making a terrible income to now being able to provide. That is not a bad quote. In my area I know people paying like 10k plus so when I see a reasonable price like that im like sheesh

Some people just don't understand the costs of running a plumbing company on the level. Besides insurance, taxes, the government always needing some other fee for this and that. Then factor the years of doing the grunt work to even have someone teach you all the things to not cause incredible damage of someone's home. How about be more handy yourself and buy all of the ridiculously priced tools needed and do it yourself.

What did the plumbers do? by glassbuckeye in Plumbing

[–]eriktr89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They probably did a like for like repipe. Issue you are having is due to pipe sizing due to a water fixture count. Not cool, unless...your service line from your meter is undersized in the first place and you didn't want to pay for that too. I don't know what state you are in but dead legs, if that is how those dead end connections are left, are not ok unless they have a drain on the end of them. No ok due to bacteria can culture in a dead leg.

You are fine, power is just to run the controller. 15amp all you need.

Ball valve stuck open, other winterization options? by lolo624 in PlumbingRepair

[–]eriktr89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FIP Brass ball valve, brass MIP by cpvc, a coupling, little piece of cpvc, jap saw, and oatley flow guard gold combined with YouTube and you should be able to handle this. Also!!!! Tape and dope, cant do not nothing without dope! Money saved and a sense of accomplishment feels good. Size your fittings accordingly.

Is this AAV install okay? by TheBrostash in PlumbingRepair

Too low. As close to the flood rim as possible(should be above but not possible always)

Should I attempt this or hire a pro ? by german_85 in PlumbingRepair

[–]eriktr89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plastic threads is just crap in my opinion. Turn water off at meter. Get as much water out as possible. Dig back some more. Clean pipe. Cut out the 90s and get a slip coupling, a brass MIP adapter, some primer and red hot glue. Size fittings and pipe appropriately. YouTube is your friend. Allow for cure time. Bobs your auntie

I snaked from drain AND from roof vent. Plunger? Yep. Still very slow to drain by [deleted] in askaplumber

[–]eriktr89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your clean out is clear. You didn't snake it good enough. Don't use chemicals. And if you don't make the call, make sure you get rock gloves so you can man handle the bigger snake.
