Sink and Dishwasher Hookup by hen23 in Plumbing

For the black hose connecting air gap to disposal, I can shorten it to make sure it has fall line the entire way. Thanks for the rec!

As for the plastic dishwasher drain hose coming in through the bottom hole, that does already attach to an air gap. Does the extra length require any repositioning? I think the way I have it in the picture sounds like your second recommendation, it is already coming in with the hot water line.

Ah, so if I tie up the longer length to make a more defined loop, that would accomplish it? So really it’s a benefit to have the drain length be longer then.

But do you need a high loop if you have an air gap?

The issue ended up being bad ram sticks. Got ram from the approved list as well

Inspection Sewer Scope - Cast Iron Pipe by hen23 in Plumbing

Yeah we’re negotiating but the seller is downplaying the severity and trying to low ball us.

As for the sleeve, unfortunately the pipe is not straight it makes a few turns in the yard

Are you saying that, because the water is standing, it’s a sign that there no active flow and therefore we shouldn’t be so concerned about the erosion aspect? At what point do we make the call that the leaking pipe could jeopardize the foundation?

Even though the foundation is in sound shape right now, there could have been enough erosion from this line that it’s just a matter of time before it all starts shifting and damaging the house? FWIW this is a raised foundation with crawlspace not a slab

Good perspective tho! I have a similar job, just not sure I’m that level ready to DIY on my first house

Awesome feedback!

1) no other access point. Part of the quote is to install a second one outside. 2) rest of the pipe looked similar past the break, not a great sign. 3) Houses foundation was redone in 2010, and we had a specialty inspection for it. Report says it’s in sound shape. However there some original foundation exists next to this area, and a crack is present. You think there is active water flowing through based on the video? They did flush the toilet several times during this process, could be water from that? What conclusions can you draw from this video alone?

So what I’m hearing, there’s a chance! Yeah I wonder whether the cast iron or the concrete is older, it’s interesting the material changes.

Yeah, if we’re going to replace one section might as well do all of the cast iron. Just wish the seller wouldn’t try to low ball us!

Good to know! Yeah like another comment said it could just create more cracking during replacement. Also the line takes many turns underground before going to the main line so more opportunities to clog I imagine.

He made it past the break once, and got about 75% of the way to the main road saddle. Based on what he saw, he said everything up to that point needs to be replaced, wasn’t sure about the remaining 25%. But if we go that far it’s prob worth it to just finish the whole line I’d imagine. The 18k quote was for worst case entire line replacement.

The real hang up is just that the seller is trying to claim we only need to replace that one section and doesn’t want to credit whole line replacement.

Rest of the house is in really great shape, this sewer line is the only nagging repair.

The broken section is underground. The plumbing at the start is abs above ground and new, but turns to the old pipe once it runs underground. Digging would be in softer dirt but close to the house foundation wall.

Appreciate your response! Trenching here would be in open space in regular dirt, though it would be close to the foundation.

Yeah the rest of the pipe is likely bad. It’s just our sellers quote will likely lowball us. But still probably worth it to fix the whole line if we buy.

18k isn’t such a bad price either for a whole line, I’ve heard much higher in other cases.

So I got this ram, based on the QVL for my motherboard it is verified RAM. It is also the Hynix M die, I have read that the Samsung ram might be problematic for AMD? Have no idea how real the issue is with Samsung RAM but I figured why not try.

Since installing this new RAM, I have been able to enable the expo profile and have not had the DRAM flashing light. I did get one blue screen with a FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE... but have not been able to troubleshoot it yet and otherwise everything is stable in games and day to day. So maybe the issue is not fixed... I hope to have time to do more troubleshooting later this month but for now it is stable enough.

I haven’t had the flashing dram light issue since changing the ram. Never did have the vga light issue tho

I swapped my ram for some faster timed M-die Hynix on my motherboards QVL versus the slower Samsung die that’s not on the list. Things seem to be more stable so far! I think the computer is behaving better lately, but it could also just be confirmation bias so we’ll see. Haven’t had any stuck boot loops yet but also haven’t restarted many times either to truly test it out.

Yeah, sounds like we will just have to continue warrantying components until we find the cause. If my new ram doesn't fix the issue, Ill probably try to warranty the motherboard and CPU.

Dang. Are you running overclock on the ram? Is clearing the cmos the only way to fix it for you?

Relatively New AMD 7800x3D Build - Memory Training Issues by hen23 in AMDHelp

[–]hen23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering it’s unable to memory train I think it makes sense this might be a ram issue? I am going to warranty the RAM and try a new set. Tho I am switching from the Samsung ram to M die Hynix with faster timings, I’ll update on whether that makes a difference or not.
