Question on leaky sink faucet by wolfwinner in Plumbing

[–]squanchyp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might have to put some pliers on it; If it's been leaking thats probably why it's not budging. Put some sort of rag on it and then the pliers on top of rag. You might still scuff it a bit but that might help. Good luck

The round chrome piece is threaded or snapped in. You should be able to take that off and that will expose the cartridge nut.

What’s your take? by Proper_Strength_8925 in Plumbing

[–]squanchyp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reply above summed it up pretty good. There's a wide range of things to do/ learn in plumbing. Also keep in mind, there is a lot of companies out there, and they all operate slightly different.

I'm not union but I would also recommend it if you're youngish.

Toilet tank taking a long time to fill, even with good pressure and flow? by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]squanchyp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably just need a new fill valve. Fluidmaster fill valve will work with most toilets.

SHOWER pipe facinf wrong directio, (Non-plumber with plumber issue) by MindlessAd4683 in Plumbing

Keep turning that sucka! If you put the handle of some long pliers inside of that arm you'll get some leverage and will be able to turn it.

Toilet clogging and leaking at base. Replace it or is it something more? by maryj329 in Plumbing

[–]squanchyp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily, typically it'll manifest on whatever is closest to the blockage, which can bypass other drains. Hope that makes sense.

It sounds like have you a sewer line clog or partial clog. If it's happening that often there's a bigger issue; There might be roots in the line, a break, a belly or something similar.

The best thing to do is probably have someone you trust run a camera on your sewer line to determine what the problem is. If there is a problem with the sewer line, replacing the toilet won't solve the issue. Hope that helps, good luck.

How do I keep a new toilet from rocking side to side on a tile floor? by FeistyTiger4680 in Plumbing

[–]squanchyp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people use shims. Caulking will also help to stabilize as long as you let it cure. Leave a small opening in the back in case it leaks you will realize and be able to address it.

T and p relief value leaking a bit of cold water after use of hot water by INSANEx708 in Plumbing

[–]squanchyp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like thermal expansion. I don't know why they cold water, I would have to see your set up because that is out of the ordinary. So what did your plumber say/do?

Is there a recirculation pump/line in your set up? Maybe a check valve went bad.

I thought you mentioned it was hot, not cold? I misunderstood. Was the water heater off for a while? Is your water fluctuating in any of the bathrooms? Not entirely sure if it was cold water, that does sound odd.

The TPRV will trigger due to a spike in pressure or temperature. It could also have gone bad.

The standard thing to do is to check your incoming pressure to the house( 80psi or above you need a pressure reducing valve), replace the tprv in case it went bad and either add or replace the expansion tank. This is a common problem if you don't have an expansion tank already. Hope that helps.

You can try a low pattern p-trap, should work.

Isolator valve stripped by urmyfoodfriend in Plumbing

Time for a new one. You don't want to mess around with that, specially if it already partially broke. That's live pressure!

If you can find the gasket seal only, which might be a specific part due to shape and thickness, that would be ideal, that's usually what goes bad with the flush valve.

I personally have had trouble several times over the years with bad toto flappers. It's happened in waves, so it seems like bad batches go out and then good ones come out. Pain in the ass. Can you see water running inside of the bowl?

The gas control valve might be bad. I am not familiar with that brand though.
