This smell is like a sewer smell and occurs only when someone takes a shower in the upstairs bathroom. It lasts maybe 5-10 minutes and goes away. It's gross and we've asked a plumber about it and he told us we'd have to redo the entire kitchen because the plumbing is not properly vented or something. Any ideas?

Why is my air handler connected to a plumbing vent by a pvc pipe?
My house smells like sewer gas when the heat is coming out of the vents. I am not a HVAC expert but it seems strange that the air handler would have a PVC pipe connected to a plumbing vent. Could the sewer smell be traveling backwards and into the air handler through the PVC pipe? What is the purpose of the PVC pipe - I know the PVC connected to condensation pan goes directly outside - but what is the other PVC pipe that connects to the side of the air handler for?

Only the downstairs toilet is backing up. It will flush completely only occasionally. All other drains flow fine, however when water drains anywhere else in the house lots of bubbles come up through the toilet that won't flush. We have well water and a septic system.

Every time we flush the toilet, and just about at the point when the tank is refilled, there is a terrible thumping and rattling from the pipes.

Why are water storage tanks made out of stainless steel yet the plumbing in the home is copper?
If you are trying to buy a metal tank for storing potable water then it will almost alway be made out of stainless steel. However, when it comes to plumbing with metal you are normally going to see copper. As a side not it seems like breweries as well as whiskey, scotch and bourbon distilleries seem to prefer copper tanks and pipes while wineries, vodka and rum seem to choose tanks and pipes made from stainless steel. It appears to me that copper can do both jobs yet copper tanks are nowhere to be found when it comes to home use. Why is that?
How do you unclog a bath tub in a house with older plumbing?
The bath tub in our house is always getting clogged. The house was built in 1915, with the plumbing dating around 1930. Therefore, I am warry of using harsh chemicals.

We've tried those plugs in the past, but the drain opening is an odd width. And we can't find one that fits properly. I'm really interested in how to unclog it.

What is the Easiest way for me to install a plumbing stack?
I bought this house about a year ago. I never realized nor did my dumb *&^^&& house inspector ($538) that there was no main plumbing stack. There is however a black plastic (not PVC) pipe that runs into the attic and I am assuming that it goes to the roof vent. I still get this septic smell out of one of the floor vents when the heat pump kicks on. This started probably about 6-7 months ago. There is nothing leaking and everything is P-trapped. It only comes from this one vent. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. that makes sense what you are saying about the water rotting in the vent. I have blocked that vent and cannot smell it coming out of any of the other vents and they are as far as I can see all connnected. Baffling.

We have a plumbing problem with our shower faucets- how can we fix them?
Our house was built in 1968 and our most recent remodel was a few years ago. We retiled our shower ( professionally ) and also had them install new faucets. Since then we have started having problems and it has progressively gotten worse. The cold water faucet seems fine ( hard to tell because we have a water saver showerhead ) but the hot water is barely turned on to get a warm shower. It's almost off- when you turn if off, it doesn't even seem like you are actually turning it, it's so slight. My husband said he has the parts to fix it, but he hates plumbing, and dreads taking it apart, that he won't be able to fix it and it'll only be worse, or create more problems. Anyone know what might be going on with the faucets? I don't know the brand-so we couldn't contact the manufacturer- but I would hope it's a good brand because we picked high grade tile. Also, the cold water faucet drips when we are showering- not alot but enough if you happen to get underneath it! The hot water in the rest of the house is normal.

can incorrect window framing (The wood blocks around the window) be the cause of water leak?
I've been trying to understand how my window leaks when it rains. The odd thing is it only leaks sometimes.. not everytime it rains. I've had the siding checked, roof, gutters.. they're all fine. So the only thing I can think of now is the actual window. I have a large picture window with a palladium half circle window above that. It leaks right where the circle window and the large picture window meet but only one one corner and not the other corner where they meet. The only difference I can see from both sides now that I have my drywall pulled down to the frame is on the corner where it leaks, the vertical wood block that meets perpendicular to the horizontal block is nailed at a slight angle meaning it doesn't meet flush, the outermost side of the block is kind of tilted inward or down. Hard to explain, but could this be the cause of my leak? Maybe if it was flush and not tilted inward the water would not get trapped and leak? Any hoome builders in here have a clue? When the water leaks, it soaks up the corner of the drywall where the two windows meet and then water drips down the cracks of the window frame where the picture window meets with the window to the right of that. Again hard to explain, I can email someone a picture if you are willing to help me out.

He tear off the roof, drill a hole under our floor ... at the end found out the leak came from the cooper pipe running to the ice maker. That pipe was there when we moved in but it's not connected to the refreg, one end connects to the water pipe under the sink and the other end is sealed. When we started the remodel, the contractor turn off the cold and hot water switch under the sink. Any idea why the pipe is broken? We called HOA manager and she is not ok with the report which rooter rooter guy provided, she is calling for her own plumber here. Anybody had similar situation in the past? When deal with HOA, any thing we need to pay attention? Is there any possibility that the pipe itself has problem?

Water leak fixed; carpet and padding still wet, is it ok to wait 48 hrs to get it fixed?
I had a water leak which the AHS dudes came and fixed. They said that they wouldnt cover "fixing" the wet carpet and padding since that is not covered in their warranty. It is saturday night and it looks like the earliest i can contact someone to come fix my carpet might be Monday -- i have fans running and have sucked out some of the water from the carpet. Is it ok to wait till Monday (in all about 48 hours) to get some professional help or do you suggest that I try to get someone in tomorrow (Sunday)? The affected area is about 20 sq feet in the bathroom on the ground floor. Thanks for your help!
How can we access plumbing in floor if we tile the floor?
We have a house that was built in 1900s and a bedroom was made into the bathroom. The plumbing is in the floor. Plywood was screwed around the plumbing as an access door and then carpet was placed over it - of course the carpet got moldy after many, many years. Now we want to place ceramic tile in the bathroom - how can we still get access to the plumbing easily if something goes wrong and there is tile there? I want to think you can do a tile an access panel that can be removable but would it leak if it got wet? Help!

How to find a water leak in my front yard???
If I have a leak somewhere in my front yard...I think...how do I find it? My water usage skyrocketed this past month and I have nothing to explain it. Also I can see the water draining from my front yard and running down the street. We have had a ton of rain so I thought it was just runoff, but now I cannot explain the water usage....How can I identify where the leak is? Is there a tool I can get to help narrow the leak in my front yard? Any help would be appreciated. Tim

How to find the source of a water leak?
I live in a condo. Last year on July 4th my ceiling began to leak with water. The plumbers came out and could not find the source. Then a company with a little camera came out and said the source was the upstairs neighbors' water heater overflow was not connected properly. So it was fixed. The leak happened again this year on July 4th! Again the plumbers can't find the source. The leak is not constant. It will drip for 3 minutes and then not drip for days. How do I find this leak???

Plumbing question if anyone knows the answer, but can enamel-building toothpaste and rinses add to?
plumbing problems. My drains are going so slow, and a few months ago we changed to enamel-strengthening toothpaste and a cavity-fighting rinse. Can the minerals that build strength to tooth surfaces gunk up the pipes? Thanks, Mark.
Is this a water leak in my home or what?
My home isn't quite a year yet. For some reason, when I turn on the faucet in the master bathroom, I hear a tapping noise coming from the ceiling. When I turn the water off it goes away. Is this a leak or what.? Someone told me that they don't put water pipes in the ceiling, they put them under ground. Is this true. If it's not a leak, then what is it. This is a one story house.

Plumbing Something
How to do-it-yourself instructional on basic pipe replacement using half inch (1/2") copper pipe and SharkBite pipe couplings. Today on Repairs101 we're going to take care of something that I've been putting off for a long time. You might remember from an earlier video of mine this leaky elbow here. And we're going to change this leaking elbow here that I discovered way back in one of the very first videos I made. I never seem to run out of things to fix around here. So I've already turned off the water and I've let the system drain by opening a faucet at the lowest point and letting all the water run out through that and then to speed that up, of course, I went up to the highest point and opened a valve up there to let the air chase all the water out. The challenge here, as I see it, is that this elbow is of course attached to this pipe that is going straight up and that is inaccessible. And this end of this pipe coming this way is tied into this tee which makes it also inaccessible. You'll see that when I unscrew this end of this pipe, this end of this pipe get driven deeper into this valve. And therein lies your problem in reassembly. The real problem of course is figuring out exactly how to put this back together again. Taking it apart is easy, I'm just going to cut it with my reciprocating saw right here. If I can I'm going to rebuild this valve right here and if I can't I have a replacement for it. I got some of these great "SharkBite" quick connectors. I got ...

The floors in our home we are renting has started to bow up in some places in the month and a half? we have been here since june and it started the last of july. the landlord came to look at it yesterday after being told 2 about it. he said it looked like water damage. the only thing is we haven't even seen a leak or heard one. the house is old and it only has 2 things of cynder blocks holding all the floors up. the just put new walls and stuff up in this house. we plan on moving out when we find somewhere. i just don't want him to hold our deposit just because he says it is water damage. what would be the sign of water damage if a pipe was leaking under the house say the where the washing machine is. and should he hold our deposit to fix it when we move out. could it be from not having enough support holding the house up causing it to do that.

Water Leak Problem. Living under Circle 33 roof
Living under Circle 33 roof. Rain water leak problem. A picture is worth a thousand words. These clips are dedicated to my landlord Circle 33 Housing Association. I was given this Flat to live in back in 2003. It looked nice, clean and recently decorated. I was a bit surprise to find it in that condition. Now I know why! The previous tenant had problem (God knows for how many years) with rain water leaking through the ceiling and the windows frame to almost the entire flat(Living room, Bedroom and the kitchen). The tenant was moved to another property permanently because the problem persisted and I guess the tenant had enough and was fighting to be moved. They come and decorated the flat (Only the affected areas of course: Bedroom, Living Room and the kitchen) to conceal any signs of leaking, damage or damp. Who's the next victim? Unfortunately, it was me. A poor disabled guy who has already enough problems of his own. Anyway, I'll keep it short, after about 4 years living in that situation, complaints, 3 fail attempts of repair, 2 times redecorated , sleepless nights, psychological and nervous break down ....etc...... Result............ No result....... The problem is still there and it's going bigger and worse, I was moved temporarily to another property. Was told I can come back when the job is done! . What triggers my anger and rage is the Maintenance Officer emailing me and saying after inspecting the flat "I could perceive no damp/water ingress anywhere other than ...
What are the issues with copper plumbing in a home built in 1988?
I have a friend who has a home that has copper plumbing. The residence was built in 1988, and she was told by a neighbor that copper plumbing is bad and has to be removed/replaced in order to keep the value of the home for resale. This doesn't seem to make sense and the home DOES NOT have any plumbing issues to date. The neighbor cautioned that copper plumbing can burst. Is there any ring of truth to this or is the neighbor thinking of something else. A home built in 1988 doesn't seem that old to me. Please help. All answers are welcome. Thanks. Additional details. Here is the suspected issue: Different metals or types of pipe: copper and galvanized iron, were directly connected in the potable water supply system From this point of view, we are told the entire plumbing in the home needs to be changed. Can this be right?
How can I find the source of a water leak?
I have a bathroom upstairs. Everytime the shower is used, water leaks downstairs in to the kitchen. There is a big hole in the ceiling of the kitchen. I can't tell the precise source of the leak.

But want to find the source of the leak first.

How to work on plumbing and electrical in a non basement house ?
I am a pretty good DIY plumber and an okay DIY electrician. However, in every home where I had to do the work always had a basement or crawl space. I am getting ready to buy a house without either and my question is: How do you access the plumbing and electrical if you can't get to it from the basement. I know it's in the walls and I will probably have to cut sheet rock to get to it. But I guess what I'm really asking is how do you detect where the exact problem is? Whether it be a leaky pipe or running an extra outlet. I guess I will have to access wiring from the attic but still not sure about plumbing. Thanks.

How do you prevent plumbing clogs while saving energy and water?
I am trying to do my part to save water and energy by using cold water whenever I can for laundry, washing dishes and hands, etc. I also try to prevent wasting water by not letting the sink and bathtub run, and have installed a tankless water heater for near instant hot water. The problem is that my plumbing frequently backs up due to buildup of soap/shampoo/laundry detergent/dishwashing detergent. I've read that flushing the plumbing once a month with large volumes of hot water will help prevent/treat this problem, but that goes against my principles of trying to save energy and water. Does anyone have good ideas for preventing plumbing clogs from soap/detergent buildup, without wasting a lot of energy or water?
What is the diagnosis procedure to determine an engine internal water leak?
I think my pickup has an internal water leak, it is dripping lots of water out of the tail pipe, is that consistent with an internal leak? It's a 2001 F-150 5.4 / 4x4, It's dualed out and leaks more water on the driver side? I checked the oil level last night and no signs of water in it. If it is an internal leak the water would be getting in the combustion chamber right? I seem to be getting the same gas mileage.

3-16-2011 Demineralized Water Leak At Nuke Plant In Canada, Near Recent 4.3 Earthquake, Related?
From RSOE EDIS: "Ontario Power Generation has notified Canada's federal nuclear regulator about the release of 73000 litres of demineralized water at the Pickering A nuclear generating station. The leak occurred at 11: 30 pm ET on Monday and was caused by a pump seal failure." 3.7 Earthquake about 70 miles east of this nuclear event, could they be related? Or could this earthquake affect this recent leak in some way? Doubtful but I am still gaterhing intel on this.

Removing Dirt for New Plumbing Pipes in Bathroom Remodeling Project
hometips.gregvan.com Well you've seen the cut concrete floor slab in the other video, now it's time to see what it actually looks like before the plumbing pipes are installed. Make sure that you don't remove any more dirt than absolutely necessary, because you need to read compacted or purchase additional fill. Removing as little dirt as possible will save you money and time. If you're going to use fill, any dirt that you remove will need to be hauled off in this means that you will be spending more money in waste disposal fees and you will also need more fill, to fill the holes, before you pour the concrete.

Radioactive Water Leak Temporarily Stopped at Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant
FINALLY, A LITTLE GOOD NEWS OUT OF JAPAN TODAY! Highly radioactive water leaking into sea stops: TEPCO Tokyo Electric Power Co. succeeded in stopping highly radioactive water from leaking into the Pacific Ocean from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant early Wednesday morning after injecting a chemical agent, it said. In a bid to stem the leak, the utility, known as TEPCO, injected about 6000 liters of ''water glass,'' or sodium silicate, and another agent around a seaside pit located near the plant's No. 2 reactor water intake, through which the highly radioactive water had been leaking heavily. The leak has apparently seriously contaminated the marine environment, as a seawater sample taken near the water intake Saturday showed a radioactive iodine-131 concentration of 7.5 million times the maximum level permitted under law. As the first case of contamination levels in seafood have exceeded the limit, radioactive cesium over the limit was detected in young launce in the sea near the northern part of Ibaraki Prefecture. The highly radioactive water has been filling up the basement of the No. 2 reactor turbine building and the trench connected to it. The water, believed to have come from the No. 2 reactor core, where fuel rods have partially melted, ended up in the pit. In order to make room for the storage of the highly contaminated water, TEPCO also continued to dump low-level contaminated water into the sea. english.kyodonews.jp NHK WORLD NEWS VIDEO: The ...

You can get it at any home improvement store. It comes with the P trap itself. That's what we are looking for. The trap holds water in here so you don't get sewer gas coming up back through. We have a trap adapter mounted here. Essentially all these fittings are slip joint fittings. There is a plastic washer that has a cone shape. it's what seals the pipe. It acts like a compression fitting that will seal this pipe onto that fitting there. These have wings on them so they all need to be hand tightened. You really don't need a wrench for these to fit together properly. Using a wrench would just cause them to break. We have a 6 inch tail piece extension that will go on the bottom of the drain that came with our faucet. That slips into here and everything is adjustable. You have about an inch and a half worth of play in both of these up and down. Everything should go together without cutting anything and just by hand tightening everything.

Water Leak??
I have a water leak in front of my yard by the street. It isn't my pipe its the cities. Would that be my responsibility to fix?
I live in a condo Recently there was a water leak in the common wall-?
The Homeowners association said they will put back the dry wall, but will not repair any of my floors,custom painting or any other interior finishes. They repaired the leak and had a mold remediation co. take out all the damaged walls, baseboards, door frames. The leak was in a common wall that services water to the unit living above the garage. The Property Management and the Association Board said that they will not repair or pay for finishing in either my unit or the next door neighbor that was affected. Is there a way to fight this...I need help...Thanks you!
How much would you charge someone to clean up water leak in condo?
I help out a family friend from time to time cleaning his condo when he is not able. He is out of town and I went there today to clean up and found that the condo above him had a water leak (it was her icemaker) that leaked into his condo. There was water dripping in the kitchen, down through the cabinents, onto the floor, above the fridge (so there is water all under/behind the fridge) The leak continued out into the hallway where it is carpeted. He would like for me to clean it up before it molds since he will be out of town for 5 more days. Obviously he won't be paying the clean up bill. (the upstairs neighbor will) So what is a fair price to charge for a clean up of this nature? Would you pay by the job? By the hour? I want to be fair- I'm not in it to make money, but I would like to be reimbursed for my time. I'm guessing it will take 2 of us about 4 hours to clean it properly. thanks for your input :)
Water leak and not sure where its coming from?
We have a leak and have no clue where its coming from, the water company is who let us know, they said we have a leak and we have to pay to get it fixed. Our bill is $438 right now and typically its $40. We have shut the main water off to our home when we left for work and when we came home that meter area was flooded. How could it flood if we have shut the water off?
Is it liveable to live in building where there is a big water leak?
We live in an apartment building with four units and there are no other people occupying three of the units. About an hour ago, we discovered a huge water leak in the unit next to ours. The water boiler in the attic burst and water is flooding the attic, the level below, the floor below that one, all the way to the basement. There are several inches of water pooling in the center of each of the apartments. No water is on our side, but I'm worried about the structure of the building with that much water damage. We've started packing our stuff (we were planning on moving in the next few weeks). But now there is a large leak, and we are in the dead of winter. Sub zero temps, snow, etc--Chicago area. Is it adviseable to stay in the building till we find a place, or should we just pack up and move immediately?
How do I find a water leak?
According to the city water meter my home water system is leaking about 1000 gallons of water a day. I have gone into the attic, crawled under the house, inspected all the toilets and all the other rooms in the house. I have searched my yard for a damp spot or depression. I can find no indication of a leak, anywhere. My water bill indicates this leak has been occuring for at least 2 months which would equal about 60,000 gallons of water. Can't find a thing.
Can a water leak and wall swelling cause a window to crack?
My apartment has a water leak that leaks down from the 2nd story shower, through the floor, to the kitchen. The walls and floor are soaked. The landlord noticed a broken window on this wall, and I had no idea of it until he found it as I never use that window. Do you think pressure from the water, or swelling of the wall could have caused the window to crack?
How to locate a water leak if all water is closed inside home ?
The water bill is $500 , no water is visibly leaking inside home. no leak outside home near the water meter. The water company came and told us that the meter spins every couple of minutes without any water being turned on inside the home. How to locate a leak that kind of leak>?
Water leak?
My kitchen sink clogged up yesterday (I had just run some stuff through the disposal and it stopped draining). I started with some liquid plumber (generic brand)...the water drained our within an hour but when I ran hot water through the pipes, it clogged again. Tried Liquid Plumber Foaming Pipe Snake (brand name) this morning...most of the water drained but stopped. Tried plungers...still nothing. I took apart the trap nothing there...went outside to find the clean out and see if I could find anything from that end. I noticed some water leaking out through the bricks in my house and down the foundation right outside the kitchen window (no doubt where the pipe makes a right turn at the wall and runs over to join up with other drains (e.g., washing machine)??? Could that joint be leaking (big problem) or could it just be that the pressure from the plunger forced water through that joint and it will stop leaking when I get the clog cleared? Any ideas before I call a plumber?
water leak?
any spray product i can buy for stopping small leak on joint of water pipe...located in ceiling and i dont want to pull full ceiling down
Existing Foundation Slab That's Been Cut to Install New Plumbing Pipes
homerepair.gregvan.com Before you cut any foundation slab, make sure that you're cutting in the right place, otherwise you're going to have problems with your plumbing. Remember that most plumbing pipes used in 90° angles, 45° angles and 22 1/2 degree angles. For this bathroom remodeling project it was going to be easier for the plumber to use one 45° bend to pick up the sink, bathtub, shower and toilet. If the plumber would have used a 90° bend it would have increased the length of pipe needed to reach the toilet and shower. Cutting the concrete slab inside of a home will require plenty of ventilation, especially if you're using a gas powered saw and a wet vacuum. Make sure that you protect any of the wall framing, carpeting or other flooring, before cutting into the concrete floor slab.

Aqua Latch - Water Leak Detection Systems in Naples
www.aqualatch.com At DAK, our primary concern is protecting your property and providing peace of mind. Our discrete wireless system provides 24 monitoring at all water sources throughout your residence and upon detection of a leak, takes two very important steps. First, the system stops additional water from leaking by shutting off the water source. The exact location of the leak is identified and the system calls out to notify of the problem. The system can be set up to dial three numbers (front desk at condo, cell phone, home watch personnel, etc.) and will continue to call if it receives no answer. By cutting off the flow of additional water to the leak location and prompt notification of the leak, the extent of water damage can be greatly reduced if not eliminated completely.

How does plumber know the "toilet jack/snake" is at the right pipe when they work in kitchen drains?

My gas water heater is releasing large amounts of water, but only at night when the temperature drops. Ideas?
The water heater is fine during the day, however, when I go down to the garage in the morning, the relief valve has released a large amount of water all over the floor. I know it's the relief valve because I have placed a container below the pipe for the water to drain into. Any suggestions?
Does anyone know of an electric water heater that will qualify for the federal tax credit?
I need to buy a new water heater and it has to be electric. The way I am reading the requirements to be eligible for a tax credit, the electric water heater has to have an Energy Factor of 2.0 or greater. I'm not finding any electric water heaters with an Energy Factor above 0.98 though. Any specific brands and model numbers of a qualifying electric water heater will be greatly appreciated.
My water heater is inside my house in a closet?
It is time to replace it; how difficult will it be to put the new water heater in the garage which is attached to the house; but on the other side from where the current water heater is. And, does anyone recommend waterless heaters that give instant hot water?
Does water heater btu rating include the efficiency of the heater?
Does water heater btu rating include the efficiency of the heater? Is the the btu rating of the water heater, the actual amount of energy that is absorbed into the water or is that just the input and you have to added in the efficiency. In othr words if I wanted to heat up 100 gallons of water 10 degrees per hour. Do I need a heater that has an input of 8330 btu's or do I need to find the efficiency of the heater and add that in.
How do I shut off the water heater? What is the typical cost to replace one?
Our water heater flooded our garage. I am assuming it needs replacing. I shut off the water to the house and the pilot on the water heater, but how do I shut off the water going to the water heater? What is the typical cost to replace a water heater?
Can a natural gas water heater crack, rust, or be damaged by wrapping insulation around it?
I was told by someone that the insulation around the water heater caused it to sweat and rust at the bottom. This is the reason why the water heater is leaking. Any information would be very grateful. I am having an arguement with the company who came and insulated my home. This company wrapped the water heater saying it would help. The water heater is about 13 years old and still looks brand new except for the rusting that is now on the bottom which wasn't there before the insulation. Thanks for any help!!
On demand water heater. Does it burn out if the water is turned off?
All electric house. I am considering adding on demand water heaters in two places. They cost at least twice as much as a tank type. Does an on demand burn the heater elements if the water is turned off? My tank type does burn out the heater elements if the water level drops below the elements in the tank. Also, is the on demand water heater repairable or would a person have to buy a new one in case of failure?
Water heater?
How long should it take a water heater to reheat? And, if a water heater is not working... what are some steps to take?
water heater?
is there somewhere very small water heater?I want hook up with it with cold water,running in couple minutes only and little.I do not wanna hook up with sink.where I can find that?
Water Heater?
I live in an apartment and my water doesnt stay hot enough for longer than one person to take a shower without waiting a couple of hours between the showers. This is very annoying so I asked the maintenance man about it and he said my water heater was new and it probably just needed to be turned up but yet he never sent anyone to do this. So do you think he's full of crap or can turning up the water heater really help fix this problem. If so how can I do this myself? Is it just a knob? Its an electric water heater.
