    Tank does not pressure above 30 psi. Bad pressure switch? Bad well pump?

    Disclaimer: The house and well are less than 5 years old. There was a hard freeze in February, some frozen pipes in the house but no burst pipes. I am not a plumber. Sorry for the large pictures. We have had a lot of rain lately so I turned off the sprinklers. I run the sprinklers late at night...

    Ever seen copper pipe corrode through within 5 years?

    My house was built in 2016. Most of the plumbing is pex (or whatever the other similar stuff is). Above the water heater is a hot water recirculator that has copper on both sides including coming out of the wall. There is also a check valve on the water heater side that leads to the cold return...

    Aerobic Sprayers Run Often After Heavy Rain

    I have a new to me house that is 4 years old this year. This is my first experience with an aerobic system. We have had some heavy rains recently. After the rain, my sprayers run a lot and often. I have checked the house for any leaking toilets and have not found any. The water softener has a...

    Toilet Leaks at Base with Heavy Use

    The house is on a septic tank with a drain field. I have a 1st floor half bath where the toilet works fine most of the time with occasional use. When there are a bunch of guests and the toilet gets heavy use, there is water on the floor in front of the toilet. It is not leaking at the back by...

    CPVC Weld Time?

    Edit: Sorry, I mean PVC, not CPVC. Is there no search function on the forum or did I miss it? I know I am SUPPOSED to wait 24 hours. But I'm going to need a shower before then. I just replaced a gate valve with a brass ball valve. City water from the road and 3/4" valve in the box. Switches to...

    Need to replace water softener. Recommendations?

    I have a 24 year old house and a 24 year old Bruner water softener. Recently the piston in the head got stuck and busted the timing wheel. I'm told Culligan bought out Bruner and they would be the only ones who MIGHT be able to get parts. Of course when I called they said, "Bruner? Never heard...

    Can I reverse a P trap?

    Can I reverse a P trap? Instead of installing the way they are all normally installed, can I turn it around so it drops down farther? This is a replacement bathroom sink with a deeper sink than before. There is no more room to move the drain tap piece up. That piece is as high as it can...

    New Kitchen Sink Drain Doesn't Align

    So I had new counters put in to a 24 year old house and also put in a new undermount SS sink. I decided to tackle the electrical and plumbing myself since I have done some in the past. On the sink, there are three tubs and the center has a garbage disposal. The drain is close to the right tub...
