We just installed the check value in the basement. I am including 2 pictures. One shows the installation of the box before the cement was poured on top and the second is completed project. The 2...

If the check valve is installed and the sewer does backup, how does the homeowner know there is a problem with the sewer? I assume the water will just back up into the house at the lowest point as...

I am not sure what at a chord plate is. Is that is the mending plate that holds the truss together? Or does it refer to the 2 x 4 beam that the ceiling to attached to? If it's the plate, I think I...

They did not reinforce any of the 2 by 4s in the attic which are not really able to suitable to support a floor. Plus the previous homeowner left a lot of heavy crap in the attic that I have been...

I have been fixing nail pops in the ceiling of my girlfriend's townhouse and found that 3 of the beams are flexing causing my screws to crack the mud.A little background first, the house was built in...

Once a back flow valve is installed, what kind of maintenance does it require to avoid flapper issues or homeowner caused back ups? I.E. does the flapper get stuck or blocked over time.

The Howard MD county is running the sewers and they don't want to spend any money if they have to. They haven't serviced the pipes in more them 20 years and the PR person was clear that you wound...

I am start a new thread because the old Sewer Get/Check Valve thread is from 2009. The problem is the same (City sewage line gets block causing sewage to come out the basement toilets and showers). ...

Thank you for your comments. I think I will go with another tank again.

I am thinking of replacing my dying tank water heater with a tankless heater, but I can't find any "good" reviews for tankless water heater models. They all seem to be companies selling them. Also,...

I talked to the Verizon tech support and this is what they said about how to wire up your house.



If the house is already wired up they would install a panel were all your coax and Ethernet...

Reading the articles, it seems that the ONT box either is set to coax or Ethernet and it does not support both at the same time and your Ethernet has to start at the Verizon router if you are set to...

You seem to be confused on what I am trying to do. I have internet and cable already with Verizon and I am not talking about cable coax at all or TV stuff. This is to connect their setup with my...

This is a question on how to split the coaxial cable into 5 or more Ethernet wires when wiring up you house. I am with Verizon and currently I used the wireless router to do this in the basement...

My faucets are all the mono type and were installed in 1982. I replaced the cartridges and the shower fixtures (the rubber seal failed so fixtures were full of mold) and then found the squeal was...

The people that installed the booster pump can over and after testings the faucets in the bathroom it became clear that both the shower and sink faucets need new cartridges. I will take them out and...

OK, I will contact the people that installed the pump and see what they have to say about it. Also, the 1 minute squeal (without the water running) only happens (as far a I know) in the morning...

My shower faucet has started to squeal during the night in the last 2 months. This morning it started again and I went into the bathroom and turned on the shower faucet and it stop immediately. I...

4 rows of timbers high. I found that putting my foot on the timbers stop them from shifting as I hit the rebar in as well has not hitting it hard allowed me to get it though all 4 timbers without...

I am building a raised Garden box using the landscaping timbers. I am using 4 layers of timbers and am dovetailing the corners. My problem is the rebar are not going through the hole into the next...

I have attached new pictures of the pump after they added a pressure relief valve just after the booster pump. The pressure relief valve (PRV) was set to 100 PSI and is suppose to open automatically...

>When you're using water, how often does the pump cycle? Just curious.

The pump comes on after a second or so after the water begins to flow in the pipe. So basically it's running whenever water...

The Grundfos CMBE 1-44 (120v) booster pump was installed yesterday and it was in front of the water treatment system by the company that originally installed the water treatment system. I took 2...

I will post what happens. I think the "basin of water" is some sort of tank that could be over pressurized because the extra pressure from the pump. Like I said, I don't really think their support...

The model does come with small pressure tank inside the unit so you don't need an external tank.

I still wonder if the Grundfos support answer is correct. He didn't really sound like he was sure,...

I called Grundfos support and they said it should probably go after the water treatment stuff. There should be no basin of water after the pump and while he didn't think the carbon or sand cylinders...

>I would think before the filter, but I 'd call Grundfos and ask them.

I will if I have to, but I am not sure their support people will be able to answer. They are not plumbers and I can barely...

I am planning to add Grundfos MQ3-35 96860172 3/4 HP Pressure Booster Pump - 115 Volt with a Pressure Reducing Valve in front to my townhouse but I am unsure where to install it. I have a water...
