    HVAC Condensation pipe clogged?

    I'll probably connect the shop vac in the bathroom. And suck whatever is there. Water. Goo. Thinking also about getting the brush on the wire to stick it into t trap to mechanically push thru any of the more solid goo.

    HVAC Condensation pipe clogged?

    The one on the left 3/4" is the overflow from the tray. The one in right bottom corner is the one with t, the main one, where I've poured hot water and vinegar. This one I'm sure goes to the bathroom below.

    Garbage disposal connection has water in it

    Hi there. Quick question. Is it normal that the garbage disposal output pipe has water in it? My dishwasher is few months old. Works like gold. Drains water completely. At least I don't see it at the bottom of the dishwasher. Zero water. Should I worry?

    Pipe cover stuck

    Local plumbing company installed the outside drain with 2" cap. This one is 1 1/2" and I bet they've dropped it. Very bad craftsmanship.

    Washer outlet clogged?

    It was plastic cap. We've created a "tool" to pull it out. Rod with welded screw. Issue resolved. Saved $1000 quoted by plumbers.

    Washer outlet clogged?

    Yes, I've tried outside. And inside. Electric snake. Hand snake. All cases it gets stuck at 5-6 feet or less. Perhaps it's the none HE machine? Too much water outflow?
