    Hose bib leaks inside home

    When I open the shut-off valve (located in my basement) to spigot on the front of my house and open the spigot, I get a leak in my basement coming from the wall where the piping goes thru. Luckily my basement is unfinished so I can see where the water is dripping/leaking from. In the image...

    Corrosion on water heater pipe

    Frodo, I agree with you and would have much rather preferred parallel. This is a new construction home that we moved into about a year and half ago and unfortunately this is how the builders piped the water heaters. Another benefit to the parallel is if one goes bad, the other one can easily...

    Corrosion on water heater pipe

    I have two water heaters setup as series. I have turned of the first heater in the series since we don't need it. I've noticed corrosion on the pipe where hot water exits the second heater that is turned on. These heaters were installed about a year ago and this is the only pipe that is...

    Toilet continues to fill after flushing

    The water level was almost to the top of the overflow so I adjusted it to about an inch below the overflow. It still flushes fine and I'm happy with the adjustment. Thank you for all the information. Learned a few things.

    Toilet continues to fill after flushing

    First, I'm a plumbing novice. I noticed the toilet bowls in my home continue to fill with water after flushing and they only stop filling when the tank is full. Is this normal behavior? I ask because shortly after flushing, the bowl is full and the continued filling of the bowl is a waste of...

    Utility Sink Drain Pipe Leak

    Thank you for the great responses. I'll pipe coming out of the wall is metal so I might have to get a plumber to come do this. Alternatively, I could cut the plastic pipe that attaches to it shorter, right? This is at my parent's house so I'll try to see what I can do based on the advice...

    Utility Sink Drain Pipe Leak

    I've attached several photos to show where an old utility sink was removed and a new one was put in, however, the drain pipe on the new one leaks badly. In the pictures, where I've detached it is where it leaks. I'm a novice w/this stuff and just wondering what the fix is. It has a gasket as...

    Modify series water heaters?

    We moved into a new construction home a few months ago and have two electric water heaters setup as a series in the basement. Since its just me and my wife, we don't' use need both the heaters so I turned off the upstream heater and the downstream heater has been satisfying our demand just...

    Air handler valve and sprinkler system device? (pics)

    Thanks SHEPLMBR! I checked the other gas lines and they have the same yellow valve so yes this is the gas pipe, duh! The other device has "Property of Howard County" and "Bureau of Utilities" written on it.

    What is this "device" under the kitchen sink (picture)

    We recently moved into a new construction home and I noticed this device under the sink on a pipe going up to the faucet. The pipe its attached to is not for hot or cold water as both those pipes are separate and accounted for. Both ends of this pipe loop back to the faucet so I'm not even...
