If you are sure that the water is comming from the top I would stick with my first post that you have a partial stoppage in your main line that backs up thru the caps when it can't get down the line fast enough, cut one of the caps off and run some fixtures, if the water starts to come up the...

It would be nice to know what brand and model of toilet you have, they are not the same.

Are you sure that the water is comming out of the top?, by looking at the picture it could be comming out of the floor at the bottom of the pipe, if so it could be ground water. If you don't want to cut the caps off you can drill a small hole near the top and see if water comes out of it, if...

The old systems used one stack to vent everything, if you have a system that has NO vents it has been removed or it was not installed if the first place; if you have no vents you have to do major repair to your hook ups, sorry.

worldzfree: Keep in mind that what you are hooking up needs major backflow protection on it, extreme safety hazard. :eek:

I run into this a lot of times, the problem is that the o.p. doesn't prevue his post, it's easy to turn it around when you post it, but a lot of times after it's posted you can't do it :(

Like the o.p. said that's your gas meter, under no circumstances should you be messing with it:( What you need is PRV installed on you incomming water to get the pressure down to a reasonable psi, should be installed near your main shut-off for your house

CHRISM: I did read part of the original post, the only thing that I see that might be giving you a fit is some of the posters said you DON'T need an expansion tank; this only applies to certain circumstances.:confused:

I wonldn't swear about running the line in the heating plenum, but if it is not against code it doesn't sound like a good idea What I suggest is to run a pipe down CLOSE to the plenum, run it up through the floor, put a tee on it, come out of the center of the tee for your trap, use 45s to...

Get more than one estimate

>>>I mistakenly bought RV Antifreeze.... I see now it is for supply lines, not waste lines. I imagine it would be effective in traps too, but wonder about effect on the septic system.<<< RV antifreeze is the way to go, the little you will have in your traps will not harm your septic, put a...

You can do it that way but you still need the vent, run the vent in the wall and use 45's to line it up with your drain, stay as close to the wall as you can.:)

Chrism: >>>MY Opinion is also that Pipe Thread Tape - PTFE Tape [Teflon]- is a Much Better Jointing Method than Jointing Paste [`Pipe Dope`].<<< You have to watch those categorical statements, like all sealers they have their good and bad applications; get yourself some sharp fittings and...

I give you a few ideas, NEVER PUT ANY CLEANERS IN A SEPTIC SYSTEM unless they are the enzyme type, most cleaners wil do damage to a septic and they are close to useless on a regular system. When was the last time you had the septic pumped? it dosesn't matter how old it is you have to check to...

If you have home made chambers under your sink, just cut into them and install the valve (the home made chambers are just about useless anyway).

CHRISM: >>>"Hi majakdragon" - Thanks for Your reply - it is now obvious to me that the `Fluxing` process IS `different` in the U.S. than here in the U.K. Your comment about `Pipe Dope` NOT being a `Sealant` also shows a `difference` from U.S. to U.K. the `equivilent` product that WE would...

CHRISM: >>>WHY / On what basis do YOU `think` that Fluxing only the Pipe on `Small Bore` Pipework is `INCORRECT` - ??<<< Over the years I've seen individuals try that on fittings that are tighter then normal and end up with a leak due to the flux not getting transfered to the fitting. I...

If you are talking about shock-trols you shouldn't even need them in there, put your valves where you want

I hate to be negative but I don't thinks there is any way to repair that drain without getting to the bottom of the tub, sorry.
