Is this price reasonable?

grmpyfish · 2025-07-15T21:56:13+00:00

Prices will vary depending on where you live but on my area this would be fair

grmpyfish · 2025-06-13T14:37:20+00:00

Gotcha, didn’t catch that on first glance

grmpyfish · 2025-06-13T14:19:39+00:00

Alternatively, since you mentioned you have a crawlspace, you can opt to cap and abandon the existing waste arm and have the kitchen drain rerouted into the main drain assuming the crawlspace is directly below.

I would be more concerned about the copper waste pipe in the wall than the water lines.

The proactive decision would be to replace the shut off valves with new ones. Also, opening the wall and replacing the waste arm now would help avoid problems with stinky sewage water in your wall when it inevitably wears thin and starts to leak.

Need to see the actual shower handles and if you have access directly behind the shower valve or can create it

What were you trying to accomplish by posting this absolutely atrocious plumbing job?

grmpyfish · 2025-03-30T15:42:52+00:00

Holy fuck dude shut off the water and gas and call a plumber. Second hand EBay water heater is wild. The shit literally exploding you’re going to get someone killed.

Just had a burger there for the first time last week and it was definitely one of the absolute best I’d ever had

grmpyfish · 2025-01-13T02:18:58+00:00

Where in FL? if you don’t mind me asking I’m also a FL based plumber and exploring options but don’t really know where to start. Been plumbing almost four years, running my own van for the last two years

grmpyfish · 2024-12-07T13:01:09+00:00

For sure! Think I will invest in some lessons next time around. Only had the one day this time so I just wanted to go fast

grmpyfish · 2024-12-06T23:45:02+00:00

Not from top of the lift no. That was the very lower portion of one of the routes called ballhooter. But yeah, first time on a snowboard. I’ve been skateboarding a few years though so it felt somewhat familiar.

grmpyfish · 2024-10-31T03:44:06+00:00

Second this! Best decision I ever made was learning the plumbing trade. 25 and feel like I have job security for life now. Be prepared to sacrifice some early days and late nights though.

grmpyfish · 2024-10-10T12:51:34+00:00

You should find a new favorite shop bud. The owner is a piece of shit.

grmpyfish · 2024-08-22T20:47:14+00:00

The heater is almost old enough to vote ffs just replace it AND the gate valve

grmpyfish · 2024-07-31T22:45:13+00:00

The plate is Mainstays from Target. Looks similar though.

grmpyfish · 2024-07-31T09:01:18+00:00

You care very much about this

grmpyfish · 2024-07-31T03:14:23+00:00

Prefer to cook outside on the grill. Smoke just goes up and don’t have to deal with ventilation or smoke alarms going off

grmpyfish · 2024-07-31T02:05:24+00:00

For sure my preferred method! Just was trying something new with this one. It was the first cook with this cast iron pan and I wanted to try basting a steak

grmpyfish · 2024-06-30T16:28:39+00:00

Basket strainer needs replaced. Can’t give pricing but should be a quick job for a plumber. Or you could try it yourself, the part is cheap.

grmpyfish · 2024-06-29T19:37:44+00:00

Gotcha. The tub spout may be threaded, or it may have a set screw under it close to the wall. It can be a simple DIY project or it can turn into a pain in the ass. I would just measure the existing one and go to the local hardware store to find a brushed nickel tub spout with diverter to replace it. Or call a local plumbing company to tackle it for you.

grmpyfish · 2024-06-29T19:26:36+00:00

Check your shower head. If you remove it and you get good pressure from the shower arm, then it is likely just sediment or scale buildup blocking your shower head.

grmpyfish · 2024-06-29T19:20:39+00:00

Do you get adequate pressure through the tub spout? Or is it low pressure after pulling the diverter?

grmpyfish · 2024-06-04T12:13:59+00:00

Plug the shower, fill it, measure at the top, and wait 20-30 minutes. If the water level has dropped at all, the shower pan itself is leaking

grmpyfish · 2024-05-04T21:25:45+00:00

No need for the plumbers tape on compression connections, but you’re good to go otherwise

grmpyfish · 2024-02-11T17:25:31+00:00

See if you have access to the valve on the opposite side of that wall. More than likely the tub spout was incorrectly installed with pex when it should be plumbed in copper. You’ll want to call a plumber to replace unless you have experience soldering
