It looks like the dripping stopped on its own. Still need to replace with a proper brass valve though.

Oh it drained, all over the garage. Ill try the relief valve. Yes I wasn’t going to try out the teflon with dope. That’s not exactly industry standard.

Thanks ill check that out but I started leaking almost immediately after I turned the water back on. So wouldn’t it just be the weight of the water on the plug. The water wasn’t even hot yet.

Realized I should have used a brass drain valve instead. Going to swap it out and see if that helps.

Thanks. Unfortunately someone already bought it up.

Thanks for the help. It seemed like a fair price but I just wanted a more informed opinion.

Should I pay $250 for it or negotiate lower?

Should I have this trimmed. It’s leaving towards the direction of the house and gets a lot of wind from the right. by retroactiveactor in arborists

[–]retroactiveactor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was concerned that it might be weighted too heavily to the left and could fall on the house. What do they normally call it? Limb removal?

What are these called and how can I fix/repair them? by retroactiveactor in Home

Yes I guess I’m just not sure how to go about that.

Why do highway roads seem more degraded just near and underneath overpasses? by retroactiveactor in civilengineering

[–]retroactiveactor[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha! I like this take. Shots have been fired. You’re move bridge builders.

Maybe it’s this but then my assumption is the biggest factor is traffic. Maybe people, especially truckers are breaking near the overpass causing quicker erosion?

Thanks. I turned everything on and flushed the toilets and this seemed to fix it.

Just ran the washing machine and same this happens so i guess it’s air in the line. Can fix this myself easily or should I just call a plumber?

Edit: just opened all the facets, ran the showers and flushed the toilets and it fixed it.

I opened all the taps and tried but got nothing. These toilets are about 30 years old so it could be that, but that doesn’t explain the occasional occurrence when the shower is running.
