From what I have heard online direct UV light from sunlight can damage PEX if exposed continuously for more than it's rating. 0-3. But that would be if you store it outside or on new building developments. I am not a plumber fyi. Check with the manufacturer or look at the pipe itself and all...

Thanks DIE HARD that helps. Cheers. I'm looking into Bow Super Pex right now. Thanks Justin, I'm just checking that out. Cheers.

That's a good point. I do ask questions and have high standards. But I don't think it's asking too much for someone to understand the tools and equipment of their trade.

Thanks, yeah it's just indirect from a basement window.

Thank you.

Thanks RenewDave. I was thinking that.

Hey everybody, I have a general question about plumber knowledge of PEX Piping. I am going to hire a reasonably reputable plumber to relocate and install some new PEX piping in my finished basement. I asked him long long my pipes can be exposed to sunlight. As the drywall was removed and the...

Thanks Mikey. I'm in that ball park now with a different quote. Luckily I got the dry waller already.

Too much for me. Cheers.

Thanks Frodo for the cost breakdown. Very informative.

Thanks Tnkrst.

Makes sense. Thanks fixitron.

Right. Both quotes don`t include drywall removal and I am in the West End Central Toronto Ontario area.

Hello, I am looking for some advice on a PEX Pipe replace/install. I am removing about 11 feet of PEX piping that froze a couple times this winter. It is connected to the main water line and runs through the wall to the ceiling. I am curious what the ball park price would be to replace the...

Hey all, I have a sewer drain from which I get a sewer smell from every weekend. The p-trap has water in it. The smell goes away when I pour water down it but it keeps coming back every week. The drain may or may not be conected to the weeping tile. The drain has debris in it as plumbers...

Thanks ExtramilePlumbing, I do have a clean out installed already inside the house and outside. I read online that recommends you have a clean out valve if your lowest drains are not 2 feet or more higher than the city sewers. My basement drains are about 2f eet lower than the outside sewers.

Thanks Geofd!

Yeah exactly, I don't think mine is 5 feet deep but might be 2-3 feet deep. I could probably access it at 2 feet but 3 feet? Hard to say.

Thanks Tom, no i haven't had water back up into my house. I live on a level road if that makes a difference. Will the backwater valve be as deep as the main line, so 2-3 feet deep? The plumber says thats accessible but it sounds a bit tricky to reach.
