Thanks..... just learning and now I know.

This is a part for my boiler that got repaired last week... it's the aquastat that I was billed at $284.... If I were to go online and look at multiple sources for the same exact part it sells for about $160. Would I be wrong to bring that to their attention or is that just the way things go...

mine is 6 ft....

Quantity might be the difference.. a topic that has not been discussed on the home front... I do not believe I have change but the toilets reaction sure has. Been using it for 12 years. It always seems weird... cause it swirls and swirls and floats and floats but just does not swallow.. :eek:

Wife does and I don't believe she has issues... Even with floaters it has this problem. I don't use excessive paper. So why should there be temporary blockage often.

I snaked and snaked ?? Maybe partial blockage ? How to deal with that?

After the first flush it's left above normal but not like a stuffed drain high. The flushing holes seem good.. it twirls and twirls but neglects to do the drop. Just watched the flush and there is plenty of water feeding the toilet.

Don't need a plunger.. The second flush usually works. Water level is good.

After taking care of number two my toilet often twirls and twirls and does not drop. Second time it often will do it but not always everything. Number one, never a problem. The water level is fine. I replaced the flapper. I snaked the drain. Not sure what else there is?

yes...we compost all of our food waste except meat... and whatever we were lazy with and pushed down the disposal. This was a lesson learned to keep it down to a minimum. The wife actually wants it removed.

Well.. a plumber didn't get paid today... Cut the pipe near the main.. pushed the snake through with some resistance and there it was at the joint. Put a pipe clamp on... ran the water and all is fine. I know from measuring that the snake I rented went 5 feet past that clog.. but whatever...

Yes ran the water with the cap off and it was clear... Yes I am sure we went into the cast iron... we fed at least 5 feet more then the actual distance. Strange that when the snake came out nothing was on the tip... Did the process 3 times... snaked... closed up.. ran water... clog.. open the...

A friend suggested cutting the pipe down where the clog may be.... hopefully finding a clog and then use a pipe repair clamp.. Basically because I have the time and would love not to give a couple of hundred dollars to a plumber.... feedback ??

This is the snake I used... Other forums doubt it's the air vent ?

the tip was 1/2" and we moved that thing around a lot... if it was just punching holes wouldn't it drain a little bit... The drain is plugged solid.

So last night I did send some butternut squash skin down the disposal and when late last night the sink did not drain I figured I knew why. So first I disconnected the disposal expecting to find the clog right there and no... I have a 50's built house and the trap for the kitchen is in the...

I bought one of those zip cleans.. but the metal grid in the drain does not let you pull the thing out without extreme force losing the hair on the way out

bought a small screen insert... and by removing the screw from the old stopper that can be used when needed

Do they sell plugs this size so that when the wife wants a bath I don't have to screw the metal plug back on.. ?

I have a bathtub drain that has a pop-up stopper... and I need to clean the hair out to often... because of how it's set up you can't put any snakes or even simple hair grabbers through the grate... a bent hanger is what I use but not the best to really get all the hair... so what can I do to...
