Thanks, Mike, for this very well-laid-out video on garage door issues. I watched the video completely through last night and then particular segments this morning. I went to the garage about 11 am and took on the challenge and within an hour, had the door operating like new. For a 73-year-old, totally disabled man, with your instructions, I felt like a young man doing a weekend project. Yea!!!
Thank you for this! Mine didn’t pop out as easily as yours but I managed after putting a cloth round it to get a better grip. A really good tip, and one that probably saved my tools from being chucked around the bathroom😂
YOU CAN REPLCE JUST THE INTERNAL VALVE JUST AS QUICKLY AND COST ABOUT $3 !!!! Why replace the parts that aren't broke. Look for those videos and you'll know an easier an cheaper way.
Hi Mike. Many thanks for this video. I had no bloody idea about filling the plunger with water and after watching your video I unblocked the toilet on the first try. You sir are an absolute Star!
Wish I had watched this video before I started. Never mind I still saved myself a plumber call out. Thanks for the tips on saving money. As a retired lady always looking to save money. 😊
Excellent video. Was almost gonna give up trying to plunge my out of it and go buy a toilet augur but thought I would try one more time after watching the video. Success never felt so good! Love saving money!
well, we just put in brand new hardware and it took forever to fill, and now it takes longer? it is rusted well water and an upstairs bathroom though. any tips?
All I can say is WOW. I never thought about that. I don't know about the rest, but my 2nd bathroom is not so easy to get to. Not having to replace the whole thing is amazing. I have replaced them many of times, in all kinds of tight areas over the years, I am pretty handy at 74, however not having to take the water line off is not just a life saver it's a time saver. You would be surprised at how many men dread replacing them. You saved busted knuckles for sure. I changed it in 25 seconds, not bad for 74.
@@MikeKlimek Yeah I don't do much fast anymore LOL, but this was a game changer. I promoted your video on Facebook, and pointed it more to the women. Thanks again Mike.
It may be the installer didn't put it on, or it fell off and was thrown away. The weight will solve your problem. You can order something like this: www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-Pulldown-Faucet-Weight-Kit-813189/311598800
Thank you very much. Because of your video I can keep my sanity and I also feel a little more smarter now. I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate this.
Plumbing 101 for dummies fix it yourself tips. Wow! And how , That will defiantly save you from calling out an expensive plumber. Thank You. Mr fix it / know how . Nick
Thats a like & subscribed ding, thank you so much.. as a visual learner all i needed to do was make sure the water valves were on which they were, unscrewed the aerator, and wham water pressure.. currently got it sitting in CLR now and I can see the descaling happen in real time, if it doesn't work when I put it back on I'll just go to home hardware and get a new set and do the downstairs as well. THANKS! 😆
The hard part is slipping the old collar up on the faulty fill valve. Mine is really stuck! It's hard to grasp, too. I may have to do it the "non-30-second" way. :-(((( Good concept, though. PS This goes really fast if you play the video at 1.5x! Wow!
Update: I couldn't move that collar, even with channelocks. I had to slit the collar with a box cutter (and dry the blades inside afterward) to get it off. Then the old valve and tube slipped right off. The rest went just as you demonstrated. Thanks for the idea!
I just unstopped my bathtub drain and didn’t even have to take off the thing above the drain and seal it up. I checked for hair - there wasn’t any. I had already tried Green Gobbler overnight, which didn’t do anything. So, I just tried plunging, and it worked right away. Hurray! I would have been really unhappy if I had called a plumber who would have charged me at least $150.
Mike, thank you so much! After watching your video I was able to figure out that my garage door would not close because there was stuff blocking the sensor! So simple but when you don’t, we’ll you just don’t know 😂
First thing make sure the valve below the sink is fully opened. Next I would remove the supply line where it joins the underside of the faucet, point it in a bucket and turn the water on. If the water comes out of the line, replace the cartridge in the hot side of the faucet. If no water comes out, replace the shut-off valve at the wall.
This was extremely helpful! I was plunging without water in the bowl. Once I added the water, a 2 day clogged problem was fixed in 2 seconds! Thank you Mike!!
You might need a little elbow grease while gently ushing downward. Worse case watch this video to replace the valve in under 30 seconds: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y6J1cfvQOGg.htmlsi=QsaiwGGeeZFH3GgB
