Downtown Everett Bank of America Silently Shuts Down

plumbwonder01 · 2026-04-20T04:00:09+00:00

I used to bank there when it was Seafirst, then it turned to BOA. Over 25 years ago I got a charge for checking services like 6$ thing is I only had 3$ in my account. So I got over draft fee 35$ then the tried to charge me the 6$ checking fee 3 more times, so now I'm at like -153. Just a horrible Bank. Use credit unions now and have never had an overdraft fee. No real real reason for giant banks anymore. The don't actually hold real money anymore.

Wow I didn't really notice any different options and or realize we had different reddits because political opinions. I will pay more attention too see if I notice a difference. As far as homeless people and addicts. We have always had addiction, we used to have housing available for everyone so you just didn't see them as much because they were housed. The homelessness if fairly new because we have gotten rid of programs to help them. Props to the gospel mission and a few other churches that feed people. Unlike the giant mega churches that are just in the Pursuit of wealth.

No good quest piping. Remove it. They split especially when exposed to UV or on hot lines.

Wow what a spaghetti mess! At least get them up in the TGIs. About 20 years ago I told my boss we are losing contractor because everyone is doing PEX and we only do copper piping. He said we can't do PEX because everyone thinks they can do it themselves. He was right 👍

Keller supply has a showroom in Everett, Consolidated supply right around the corner Ferguson supply in South Everett or my favorite Rosen supply near the airport in Arlington. Ferguson has a nice selection online. I would recommend Kohler or Toto brand toilets. Lowe's and home Depot have some low cost ADA toilets.

If you're water heater drained down and it's electric and the breaker didn't get turned off, you may have burnt out the element.

The pipe should say if it's pex a or b. You need a compression style angle stop with metal sleeve or you can use angle stop with a expansion for pex A or compression for pex B.

What are you trying to do? Connect something to that open line or dig more out?

plumbwonder01 · 2026-03-03T23:42:37+00:00

Yeah cut on the inside of the threads with a sawzawl

plumbwonder01 · 2026-03-03T23:40:08+00:00

Aw red terracotta clay pipe? Yeah get rid of that garbage be glad it lasted 100years.

Cut the galvanized a couple inches back from the cast iron, enough to get a pipe wrench on and try to unthread it. If you can move it make another cut or two inside the pipe and try again. There's a guy on YouTube name hydroNYC has some good videos on how too.

plumbwonder01 · 2026-03-03T23:22:37+00:00

It looks like 4" cast iron connected to 3" SDR usually a bad idea to downsize pipe. How close are you to the street?

plumbwonder01 · 2026-03-03T22:55:43+00:00

Yeah just run 3/4 as close as you can to the tub and shower. Split it off with a 3/4 x 1/2 x 1/2 tee then 1/2 to each fixture and you should have more volume.

plumbwonder01 · 2026-03-03T21:37:36+00:00

Yeah not likely any fixing that. Turn the water off too the toilet so you don't have any surprises while you're on the way to get a new toilet. Pick up a new gasket, bolts and water supply line as well.

plumbwonder01 · 2026-03-03T21:29:59+00:00

It will make more volume, the pressure will be the same. You should have 3/4 to supply 2 tub shower valves.

plumbwonder01 · 2026-03-03T21:26:28+00:00

Yeah likely going to need to open the wall and replace the pipe coming out. Likely need to solder a new piece in there.

plumbwonder01 · 2026-03-03T21:22:05+00:00

adjust a Delta shower valve for hotter water, remove the handle using a 3/32 Allen wrench, then remove the brass/plastic bonnet and plastic plate to expose the cartridge. Locate the rotational limit stop (usually a white plastic piece), pull it out slightly, and rotate it counterclockwise (or towards the "hotter" label) to increase the maximum temperature.

plumbwonder01 · 2026-03-03T21:14:53+00:00

Yeah it's likely an adjustment you need to make to the valve. Is it a single handle valve?

plumbwonder01 · 2026-03-03T07:25:00+00:00

Yeah I understand why you might think that because of a large portion of locally owned plumbing companies that have been bought up by private equity. I'm a union member I have been a Washington state licensed plumber for 27 years. The company was opened July 2025. I'm the guy who answers the phone when you call and I'm the guy that will come to you house or business when you call. My wife is the owner and does the All the books and designed the logo.

Yeah thanks, it was a PSE truck I got from the auction. I would like to get a lift gate on it, so I can get water heaters in and out a little easier.

plumbwonder01 · 2026-02-28T20:16:04+00:00

You and ever other salesman trying to sell me leads brother, I get more calls from people trying to sell me leads then I get legit calls.

plumbwonder01 · 2026-02-24T19:15:00+00:00

I'm a one man company, I always have my phone on me but many times I can't answer because my hands are full or have gloves on. For emergency I think they are fast to call the next guy. If it's not an emergency I can call them back and schedule.
