Steve, good video on diagnosing the problem. It is amazing the build up deposits in supply, just goes to show that they should be considered when this situation is presented.
Baby dog looking extra pretty today! Thanks Steve for adding closed captioning to your video's. Without it I miss a lot of what's being said. Occasionally I use headphones but between torches and diesel truck that can be scary!
After seeing this, I suppose that I, also, may need to replace my bathroom sink's shutoff valves. They certainly look corroded enough to be the originals. Plus the faucet is new. Btw, your dog is so well behaved. :-)
Lol Steve! You are savage! I get the whole drain out her plumbing through the washer and faucets and crack a hot side union, but to flush her only sh*tter?!! Man if she had to be a leaker momma its got nowhere to go! Love ya work buddy:)
Did you advise her that the Pro-Vent is too low and it should be rise up. The kitchen is way too low and the bathroom could be higher as well. That look like type M pipe in the bathroom (red marking) usually red for M and blue for L
Hey Steve - great video! Quick business question for you though.... I’m assuming you simply got a call for low pressure on those fixtures, correct? I see that part of the service call is to troubleshoot and figure out exactly what needs to be done (replace the fixtures, supply lines, etc...). After you figure out it’s build up in the valve - do you stop and let the homeowner know what the problem is and give them the estimate for your work? I only ask because you have to cut into pipes for you to really narrow things down and your prices may be different based on what part(s) of the system needs fixing. Just wondering if you ever have a simple service call that ends in a very expensive fix that the homeowner wasn’t expecting and want to know when you estimate the cost for your services!
Cholesterol? U mean minerals build up or chlorine build up? It was too tough to get the cartridge out so I gave up. I am afraid to get into another cartridge situation like when I replace the bathroom cartridge.. was a complete pain. I can handle a few drops
that build up is gross and to think water is running thru that makes me never want to drink tap again. What happens when you have to do this a few times over the years and run out of room on the copper pipe
Compression valves are reliable and very commonly used. Only issue with them is that over the years as the valves have to be replaced you often have to cut back the copper pipe as the ferules shouldn't be re-used and often leave scars on the soft copper. I personally have gone to sweating on a nipple and then screw on a new valve, That way in the future, you can just unscrew the old valve on screw on a new. Just my preference after remodeling several older homes.
Next time she calls Sell her a wholehouse filter buddy!! Only 1-2 hundred bucks plus labor =less shit in system. Install right before h2o heater inlet!
Can't you usually open up the kitchen faucet valves and replace stuff in there? I've had to put a new mixing valve/cartridge thing in mine before. I think it was like $20 and fixed a similar looking problem on mine.
