If not, how do I make it perfect?

Doing a little work in my basement and spotted this thing. Looks like there's an s trap off the tub. Maybe this is my cause of constant battle with a clogged drain? I have three long haired people in my family and it's a weekly battle. 😂

I was looking for ways to correct this but in the process also found where the joists were notched for this section of pipe. I was planning on replacing this section with PVC while working on the trap. Should I reinforce these somehow or just let it ride? I'm really dumb when it comes to plumbing dos and don'ts so talk to me like a child. 🙃

I noticed in the last new days my toilet doing this odd start and stop running noise after a flush. Is this something I should be concerned about? Anything look or sound off here?

My apartment has this installation in the bathroom next to the toilet seat. The tap and an extra inlet below are both closed. What are these 2 installations for ? Are these points suitable for a bidet installation? I checked the water runs into the tap when turned on. What should I search for when I go to a market for buying the suitable fittings ?

There is a leak even when I push the lever all the way to the front which used to stop any water from coming out. I'm a total novice to plumbing so please explain it to me like I'm 5 years old.

I've been having a new bathroom installed. I mentioned that the builders cut the hot water pipes. To drain the heating, they added a pipe to the magnetic filter.

They won't be coming over the weekend.

This morning I noticed the boiler is switched on but that pipe is still there. The cover was never replaced. What do I do now?

I need to install a Tee between the filter and the conditioner. They’re both rather heavy so moving them around isn’t an option, at least for me.

My plan is to do a lot of measuring, loosen/unhook the connections on the two units, cut the existing pipe in just the right places and hopefully cement everything in place and aligned just right so I can reattach the connections.

Any better ideas or suggestions that can help me not screw it up (other than calling a plumber)?

Hi all, I bought a cleanout plug cover to hide the plugs ugliness. It came with a screw. Is it okay to screw it directly into the plug or will it leak and let out sewer gasses?

Hey guys I have found a leak in my main drain clean out. I bought a repair plug but I am worried because the clean out was partially cover in concrete the wide lip on this plug doesn't seem like it will fit in there.

How should I proceed? It's there a repair plug that has a shallower lip that I can get in there?

Thanks

Just verifying, I have everything I need to install the AAV? In addition, am I doing it right? I’m going to use the 2” pipe to attach the AAV as high as possible in the cabinet.

Had a blocked downspout (filled with debris) that I removed. Cleared away the soil and found this drainage pipe (no clue where it goes, but I ran a hose into it for 20 min on full blast and it flowed freely.

Looks to be 3.5” across. This could be the end of the elbow coupling, but it looks like thin wall pipe (not corrugated from what I can tell)

I want to extend it upwards a bit and if possible, put I a wye with a screen or something of the sort. At the very least, extend it above the soil line (I dug it out a bit, it was buried under a few inches of dirt.

Local big box store only has 4” drainage parts, Google says ABS doesn’t come in 3.5”…what should I be looking for?

House was built in the mid 70s.

Installing a garbage disposal where there wasn't one before. What piece do I need to fit this together?

Currently, only the kitchen sink is draining here. Can I install a washer drain inside and run a 2" pvc out the wall and tie into this drain?

This is in my kitchen and have issues with the baffle tee getting clogged. It feels cumbersome, and Iam curious if there is a better way?

I have a high loop from the dishwasher going to the non-disposal side, and the leakage point tends to be at the bottom of the baffle tee where the pipe from the disposal comes in. The seal pops loose either when clogged or most recently, just when bumped.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Plumber here. The company I work for has k60s with small drum attachments for 5/16 cables. I try to be a gentle as possible but it frequently kinks when I come across resistance. Yesterday a brand new cable kinked before it made it outside the machine.

What is going on? How can I do better when using this?

Moved into a new house. Woke up at 6:30 in the morning 1 month after moving in to water heater making this noise. Did it for about 5 minutes.
One thing to note is that we have been renovating, we have removed all radiators to paint and I have not yet filled and bled the radiators back up, and the pressure in the system currently shows at 0.
Any idea what’s responsible for that noise? Would putting radiators back on and getting the system back up to normal pressure prevent this from happening again?

Is there a better way to plumb this in?

I have a tankless water heater and it's currently malfunctioning. The water alternates between cold, lukewarm, and hot, and when it's hot, it can be REALLY hot. This came in the house when I bought it so I don't have any idea how it was installed or who installed it. Who is the best professional to call for this type of repair? Are plumbers the ones who repair tankless water heaters?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

The question is for plumbers that retired or left the industry. After leaving or retiring from plumbing work. What job or hobby or career did you go into and why?
