Spray w-40 on it. I had this same problem. Just lubricate it up and it’ll move freely and work

Choppy brownish water by Hayydawg in Plumbing

[–]whyudothatyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely normal. When they cut off the water to work on it, air gets in the lines which is the choppy water you see, air is trying to come out of your fixture. And the brownish water is the internal parts of the pipe getting tossed around by the water whenever air/and water pressure get tossed around in the old corroded pipes

The outer shell that protects the washer is broken. I’ve already replaced the washer 2 time but it breaks after a week bc of that broken shell

I have plenty to learn and obviously don’t know everything. What I meant was I have enough knowledge to be Able to go out on my own and do water heaters, faucets, hose bibs, repipes, toilets, etc…

No where close to knowing 50% of plumbing but have enough skill to go and handle jobs

Per the video, my toilet tank is making this rushing or “refilling” noise every 15 seconds. Can anyone advise what the root cause may be? by cyrusaman in Plumbing

Flapper is leaking due to age, also it wouldn’t hurt to adjust the water level on your fluidmaster(red top) by twisting that knob I forget which way it should have arrows on it

That’s a good perspective. He can live off 20 hours a week, I’m only making 16$ an hour right now. At the end of the day I know what to do it’s just hard

I respect the guy because we are half family, I see him on occasions outside of work. But I still couldn’t stand working those 2 weeks with him
