water

Here is a puzzler, In the highest point in the house is a bathroom off the main bedroom. In the morning when I get up the water tastes moldy out of the cold spigot. If I taste out of the hot water spigot , it taste like it is coming out of a garden hose. Any ideas ? Please keep it clean! These...

Hello this is my first post on this forum! Hopefully I'm putting it in the right place. Ok here goes. I live in a mobile home so I don't have extra floors. So I removed and installed a new water heater(40g to 60g) and a water softener(42k bead). When I installed I plumbed 1/2" piping for the...

I've never had an issue with water hammer in my house until a couple months ago. The fill valve on our newer LG washer went bad. Because we had the extended warranty I just called the company and they sent a tech. He confirmed it was the fill valve and replaced it the next day. Ever since...

Rooter Hero (San Jose) just replaced our sewer line's pipes (ghost flushing occurred for a week or two prior to clog) for 26 grand- pretty sure we got screwed due to our location and age of owner (86 year old grandfather) ...right away we had a multitude of new issues: 1) upstairs toilet...

Hello all! Amateur question: What are these? I have a boiler heating system, and these are at the front end of two of my heating water loops. It looks like a brass valve, but there's no handle. As you can see, there is a screwdriver-turned bolt. Is this correct? Or is the nuts-looking...

Howdy The main water shut off coming into my basement has began to leak. My problem is that the shut off value is attached to the pipe as soon as it comes out of the block wall. Therefore, this leaves me no room to cut the valve off and attach a new one. Thoughts? Ideas? Also, what is the...

The only way I could figure out to put a picture of it up is to put it as my profile picture . I have pictures of it but I can't figure out how to post pictures on here so I'll just ask about it. So my buddy was complaining that he had no hot water in the shower then asked me to look at his...

Hello. I live in a single-family home in Chicago. I have lived in this home for 35 years. Our home's water heater was here when my family bought this home. So, this water heater is at least 35 years old. Our water heater is a RheemGlas Fury, model # 22-40-2. The water heater has 40 gallons...

I've been trying to figure out why my outside spigot is not working. There is no water - not even a drop or leak. My house is only 10 years old, I have two faucets on both sides of the house. The one on the right side is working perfectly fine but the one of the left has completely stopped...

I have noticed water pooling at the wall and floor joint just outside my bathroom shower. I checked carefully to make sure it just did not splash out and on to the floor but that was not the case. It is enough water to seep under the wall and pool up in the room on the other side of the wall...
