I am wondering why the water is fine upstairs-is there a different branch of pipe that will supply the upstairs? This pipe has never frozen up before

Thanks mark
Cold here so did try the hair dryer thing first but without the hot water faucet being open-duh
Will try it again
Thanks
Phyllis

Hello all
I came home after being away all weekend to find I had no water coming out on the hot side downstairs but cold was fine. Upstairs I had both hot and cold water. I have the old stem type...

The township came out this am and I got a call saying it was their problem and it will be fixed
Tomorrow. When I got home there was a small hole dug where I can feel some kind of box.
This is about...

Haven't called them because of the holiday tom.
I have to drag out the survey to see if I can tell.
I know they used a marker in the road to do the survery but don'y know where that line is as this...

Oh
And I do have proberty lines that are on the required paperwork when buying a house here in nj-a survey has to be done before settlement

OK guys-now I am really confused. There is no sidewalk or curb here-it's a "rural route"
My meter is inside the house next to the main turn off and it is read electronically. This house has a well...

Will let you all know what they say-
Thanks

Hey tom-i can always count on you-big thanks
As usual. With my ocd I checked the meter several times and it's only moving when the water is on. Got the copper stuff for the roots in the septic pipe...

Thanks. I don't know where the curb stop is
So I guess I'll have to call the local township and have them come out and test it

Hello again everyone. Back again with another plumbing question. Tom-are you out there :)
Fri when I got home I noticed it was wet at the end of my drivway and there was water along the road in...

Tom
Going to get 2 more and see what they say. I don't think this guy was trying to rip me as he explained and showed me what he was talking about but I will take your advice. I could use the root...

Good morning tom-cast iron it is-don't think it would be clay. But what to I know. I didn't see it when thwy were putting it in so I don't know what was there-i do know there was no digging so I...

Ohhhh
My mistake. I don't know. The main in the basement is metal I think. Don't know what's outside

Thanks
No clay here-sand and rock and a little dirt. I guess it I am not sure of what kind of pipe it is.
The guy here today seemed the pvc from the tank was attached to the old metal one . I guess...

Tom
Is it possible for there to be roots without a break in the pipe?
Phyllis

Yo tom
It was replaced as part of the sale-the old cespool wasn't working. I did not have it installed. I have a paper saying it was installed and what kind of system it is-and a cert from the...

1 is cosest to the house, 2 is before the tank- cover then there is a pump and the 3rd is after that there was not a lot of water in 2 and 3
There is a cleanout on the metal pipe in the bacement...

Hi tom
Just used the washer again-it backed right up into the toilet-did not see any water in the first clean out in the yard but there was water in the other 2. I ran the facet in that downstairs...

Thanks tom. I will hook up the washer and wait till the toilet fills up and open all the cleanouts again and prepare for another flood
Phyllis

Well-where did that snake go :)

I saw a lot of bugs in the cleanouts and just a bit of water-very small amount. There are three of them each farther away from the other. I looked in the closest...

It's backing up in the downstairs toilet but then drains out of the toilet on it's own. I have used q 25 foot snake in that toilet and all seems fine.
Where you you suggest I snake-there is PVC in...

While doing laundry the other night when the washer started to empty into it's drain pipe it started to overflow. Then I noticed that the bathroom toilet-which is also in the laundry room was also...

The verdict is in. I came home and hosed the vent for 15 min. the ceiling hole was dry when I started-wet when I finished, even had a few leaks on on front porch ceiling. Will be calling a...

Thanks tom-i try-i really do. Will go up on the ladder(yikes) and try to hit the vent. Actually the front porch has been leaking since the new roof was done 5 yrs ago
In the same places. Everything...

Thanks-no rain this am and no drip.
You should have seen me fix the oven-i amazed even myself :)
Will drag out the hose after work
Thanks to everyone for all the help

Will spray it tomorrow and then call if it leaks-then I'll just need the hole in the ceiling fixed

Thanks-but with my knee that needs to be replaced I sometimes feel pretty old. Like I said-i am handy around the house but I really don't like heights. Stopped raining and no more drips although the...

Thanks! That I can do. Not raining anymore
And not dripping. Will let you know
Phyllis

Don't know if I can get on the roof-i'm an old 56 y old women. I'm pretty handy but climbing on roofs is not one of my things. So now I'm stuck-plumber or roofer
I'll see if I can get a long enough...

Yes. There is a wall with an access panal between the shower and toilet. I looked in there and can see the stuff for the shower and tub. Nothing feels wet and I ran the shower and watched it and saw...

Thanks guy's I'll do that but what should I do about the upstairs toilet . It's not wet anyplace and can't see anything leaking although I can't see very far. I have the water turned off
To the...

Oh-there is no water around the base of the toilet so I think the wax seal is OK

Everything in the picture as well as the seal when I pulled the toilet out.
It's leaking from one of the tank screws-go figure. I've redone then several times so I wonder if there is a crack in the...

It's in the same spot. I can not find on water on or around the toilet. I looked in the trap door next to the tub where there is copper pipes and pvc running under the floor to the toilet. It hasn't...

About a yr ago I noticed a wet spot in my livingroom ceiling. It was below the upstairs bathroom. It turned out to be a leak from the water line which I replaced and fixex the problem. This am I get...

I finally made a little hook from a piece if wire and fished it out. It is darker than the other wire and the end is burnt. I'm going try to find the end connector and strip the wire and connect it...

I can't find the loose end. There is only the hole that the wire came through and it's not very big. I used a pair of tweezers to grab the connector but all I can find when I poke around is the...

Hello
Thinking I was on a roll after rewiring my ceiling fan I decided to replace the bake element on my kenmore electric wall oven that died the other night-how hard could it be to do?
I turned...

There is also something called a spay incontinence which causes a spayed to leak urine while sleeping. A medication called DES will stop it. Urine test first to make sure it isn't an infection

Deciding on the right breed requires research. What do you plan on doing with the dog. Do you want to do dog sports such as obedience or agility? Or do you just want a family companion. Also. Are you...

I don't know what an RJ11 jack is but there is no dial tone in the interphase. I did get a dial tone while playing with the wires on several of the jacks but it went away again. I guess I'm going to...

The dsl cable is plugged into a regular phone jack. When I plug in a regular phone into that jack it does not work

And by the way-i show Australian shepherds

It's very strange. The interphase device is in my basement. You take out a phone plug and put in the testing phone's plug. It is connected to a bar where all the phone wires are attached. There is no...
