Bought my house just over a year ago and anytime there’s is a decent amount of rain gallons of water pour into the pit. Sometimes this will continue for 10+ hours (with lower volume once rain settles). This seems abnormal and not sure why this amount of water flows in. For context this area of the house was an additional back in 2008 and I live on a hill with sloping continuing down the street. My property contains a “drainage easement” per my deed but townships has no records of it which sits at the higher level of my property. Appreciate any help here on what I should do.

This is an easy one, right. What should have been done better?

Any ideas please? Cleaned the gunk out of a pop up waste and then it slipped down further and is stuck. Can’t access it from below due to tiling. Was thinking trying to drill a hole into it so I could pull it out with a screwdriver or similar but perhaps there’s a better way?

I had an automatic water shut off valve installed and it keeps triggering due to too much pressure 110+ psi). I had a Watts regulator installed and set to 60-65 to regulate town water and it seems to be correct, but within an hour or two water pressure creeps up.

I believe it is related to my heating system and hot water storage tank, as I've always noticed a surge of pressure when I return home after being away or in the morning. The pressure is not new, only now I have a measure with the auto shut off valve installed.

The below is a picture of heating system with pressure tank. The tank is empty. All my valves to it look open .. what do I do here? Does something need adjusting?

Hey r/Plumbing

I recently got a new pump ( Liberty Pump 405) installed to pump water from my washing machine up to sewer. I've been getting backflow out the standpipe. I haven't been using any crazy amounts of soap.

Any advice on what to what the issue could be? I'm thinking a float issue. Not a plumber but wanted to ask incase anyone else had something similar

I installed this NPE 180 in my own house in 2013. And, I haven't touched it since. No flushing, no flame rod cleaning, no intake screen cleaning, nothing. Still going strong. Please excuse the cob webs. Like I said, I haven't touched the thing. This was my experiment to see if the unit was worthy of installing for my customers. Discuss amongst yourselves. Gnight.

This is appearing in my bathroom, I don't know if it's from the sink drain or what, it's humid and appears out of nowhere randomly

My first post here so idk how this works but I’m trying to fix this bathtub and there’s almost a 1/2 inch gap between the drain plug and the bathtub shoe(?) I’m not sure if I need to get a new set or if a gasket is needed but I know it’s not supposed to easily come off.
Dad passed and I’m a college student left with a house idk how to fix :(

I'm not sure what's causing this. I did have non-oxygen barrier to be on the system for for a Time but I replaced it and flushed the system but it seems like maybe the corrosion continued? It seems to me that the corrosion is isolated to the dielectric connector and not the heat exchanger itself. The left hand side is the boiler side and the right hand side is the radiant floor side. I'm getting ready to replace it with the new heat exchanger, but I sure don't want this problem to continue and ruin another one. Any ideas?

Had a service call end of day Friday which was suppose be easy, install toilet for senior citizen and possibly repair flange….this is what I found. Flange already removed and it looks to be old lead pipe underground. So right now I’m brainstorming what to do for her. Looks like the copper on the old flange was cut just enough to direct the sewage in the right direction.

I’m thinking of getting a new flange and doing the same, but maybe use pc4 , cold caulking compound to help seal the connection between flange and the old lead and concrete.

For a week, the water has been draining really slowly (like genuinely so slow) and I saw a couple of tik toks and tutorials on how to fix it. But the problem is, I don’t see a nut that I could screw off. Please help!

Recently moved in a new house and suddenly the shower started leaking significantly. What steps would you take to address this? Thanks!

Hello plumbing! when I get stuck with an issue, I always turn to Reddit. just purchased a condo and had some work done. part of the fixing was with the tub spout as it was spraying almost full blast from the spout as well as the shower head. everything went well but it seems the old spout was difficult to get off. it seems that the pipe may have moved an inch or so further out so im stuck with the current situation. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for resolving this before reaching out to a plumber for some assistance.

Local pub near me, it’s been like this for years.

I can provide a detailed breakdown within the comments.

Hey guys,
This is how things were left by my plumbers. I’m now responsible for reconnecting the toilet. What do I do/buy to make this happen? Thank you

Anyone else plumb compressed air into their kitchen. I feel like this is the most Tim the tool man Taylor thing I’ve done in this kitchen so far….

Hi all, wondering if this will drain sufficiently for kitchen double sink? Thanks
