leak

So I am clearly getting older and just not giving a $hit anymore. Two days ago I was working with my noise cancelling headphones on because, well because, and my wife taps me on the shoulder and says "we have a big water leak, and I need the shop vac." Water leak tends to get my adrenaline...

Hi everyone. I am wondering if what I noticed about my two year old pex pipes is normal. I noticed yellow discoloration spots at a pipe under a bathroom sink and totally yellow pipes in the 140 degree hot attic where the pipes run. I was told that these clear pipes are better than the red/blue...

Hello, We recently found a link in the water pressure valve on our main water line and need to replace it. From doing a little research I was looking at the Wilkins NR3XL and Wilkins Model 500XL and I believe this is dependent on our upstream water pressure. The current valve we have is the...

Hello, Hope you are all doing well. I have a leak under the toilet when you flush it and goes into the crawl. While I'm waiting to hear back from a plumber, I was hoping to get some opinions from y'all. Maybe it needs a new wax ring or flange replaced? The right bolt is a bit loose, so I'm...

Hey there! The water company recently reached out and mentioned that your water consumption is a bit high, and they suspect there might be a leak in your house. when I check the water gate I saw it doesn't have a water meter. Can anyone shed some light on why that might be the case?

I have a leaky bathtub faucet, but I do not know the manufacturer of the faucet. A few folks have suggested I might have a Danco, but I cannot seem to get any help from the Danco folks to verify as much. Can you take a look at the attached images and identify the manufacturer and even better...

Trying to work out what this could be. It’s been appearing intermittently for over a year now. Thought it could be rain getting through an outside vent but today is a lovely sunny day. Haven’t used the washing machine for at least two days so can’t be that. The kitchen sink is on the same side...

Hi all, My wife and I built our home in 2017. The builder installed 5 Delta faucets model 2594-mpu-dst in 3 bathrooms. About a month ago we noticed we had leaks under 3 of the 5 faucets. There is some minor water damage to the cabinet but nothing I'm going to worry about. I did some searching...

Can anyone tell me if the lump in the front of my apartment is really from a sprinkler? This place has had issues with plumping as far as clogged drains. Its right next to a clean out area. I am worried that its a leak in the sewer line.. I'm no plumber so that's why I am asking.
