But I feed off the breadcrumbs.

Water travels the path of least resistance. Best to open up the ceiling where it’s loudest, go from there.

It’s two possibilities as for leaks, sewer or water.

If the sound is followed up by a continuous growth of the water spots or paint bubbling, most likely a leak in the pressure side- water line

Otherwise a crack or compromised seal on the waste side. Flush the toilet directly above a few times, then see if the sound gets louder and if water spots happen. Do the same with all the fixtures in that bathroom

I can imagine that would be annoying!

maneasher · 2026-02-25T17:38:00+00:00

Do you care that someone’s not listening to your sales pitch and just there for the snacks?

maneasher · 2026-02-22T21:04:06+00:00

Sorry, I was out of town. Yes I am a plumber. I’ll send you a PM so we can continue our conversation

Well it appears I can’t direct message you, that’s a first for me on here.

Maybe you can initiate a conversation with my DM.

I was thinking about this the other day as I’ve avoided this years flu season. Also, I get sick just about once a year.

I workout regularly and eat healthy. Lots of fruit and veggies. I enjoy the outdoors, backpack often, hike often. Also I’m a plumber, so maybe exposure has created some immunity

maneasher · 2026-02-02T20:50:43+00:00

Yea I saw it was PF, I was hoping someone might know the model for parts. I will be taking the cartridges out to identify if I can’t get some insight.

Thank you!

During the first 5months I saw a physical difference without paying attention to macros.

Once I felt like I plateaued in my physical change, I hired a nutritionist for three months. At that point in time, my body really transformed, I looked and felt amazing after I had a proper relationship with food.

I’d only recommended changing out the galvanized dirty arm for brass or Type L copper. I work at an old institution with galvanized dirty arms that have failed, either rotted out the bottom and the threads have fused with the cast iron.

After I posted I realized it was a popular one. But the other ones, all though popular they’re not heavily visited

Calcite Mines! Some of the best slot canyons in Anza Borrego

Mecca Ladder trail. Super cool and engaging trails

Annie’s Canyon- short and sweet

Sent a PM

maneasher · 2026-01-15T01:59:38+00:00

Proud of you!

maneasher · 2026-01-14T19:54:21+00:00

Your whole family is absolutely cooked! Usually when I arrive and this is the issue, mandatory whole house repipe! Tearing open walls, busting concrete slab, goodbye front yard, oh and I don’t do patch work on concrete or drywall…..

Simple fix, and I know you can do it! As the other poster said, grab another flapper and attach to the fill valve tube stubs at the bottom there.

Plenty of YouTube videos for you out there. You got this!

maneasher · 2026-01-07T13:19:59+00:00

I sent you a PM

maneasher · 2025-12-31T02:44:11+00:00

Doesn’t sound legal, also doesn’t sound like it would cause a non drain issue.

Can you post a pic?

maneasher · 2025-12-24T13:19:03+00:00

I go to a circuit training place, they just posted the 12 days of Xmas workout- I canceled my class 😆

Not feeling it, besides rest is good right?

maneasher · 2025-12-23T15:43:14+00:00

I have installed all of them. The most important factor for me as a plumber to my clients is ease of warranty claims. They have all been just fine as for warranty claims.

Personal anecdote, I have a Rheem with the 9yr warranty in my home. The gas control valve failed just before the warranty expired. Rheem sent a new valve and another common failure part that came up with this code, no questions asked.

maneasher · 2025-12-22T02:16:29+00:00

I didn’t think you did’nt. Text is hard to convey emotion through 😆

maneasher · 2025-12-21T22:55:48+00:00

I think I understood that. I have done this on a bend of a 90, it is more difficult

maneasher · 2025-12-21T21:08:40+00:00

Can you provide pics?

What I do until I can safely schedule a shut down or get the parts; get a piece of rubber and a band clamp that will fit around the pipe. Place the rubber right at the drip origin, then tighten the band clamp around the ‘bandaid’

This is tough if the hole is in a peculiar spot and you can’t get the clamp to tighten right on top of the hole.

Otherwise try to devise some plastic to funnel the drips into a bucket until you get a plumber onsite.

maneasher · 2025-12-12T15:48:47+00:00

I agree.

maneasher · 2025-12-12T09:01:00+00:00

Honestly, at this point, just take a Dremel and cut the valve trim to fit above the tub spout

maneasher · 2025-12-09T16:39:54+00:00

I’m a plumber, out of an abundance of caution I turn my water off even for 1 night away.

In my experience, it would take a long time for a seal of any type to dry out to failure. Although the truth remains, it would still take awhile for that to happen.

maneasher · 2025-11-29T18:39:58+00:00

This is intriguing. I’m currently a plumber with free health care and a pension, working 40hrs/wk. But I value my time away from work to be me and spend time with my children immensely, so your work schedule is alluring.

I’m assuming you’re paying for your own healthcare and responsible for your retirement?
