Similar to backing-up plumbing, clogged drain may be another larger cause than just debris in the drain. This goes along the lines of tree roots getting into sewer lines, causing clogs and then eventually full blockages. If you suspect that there is a problem with your sewer system, give a trusted plumbing company a call. They will come out and initially use an auger to try to break up what ever is causing the blockage. However, in some causes the problem won’t be fixed by this method. So, they can use a camera inspection that shows exactly what and where the problem is. This helps reduce the damage to your yard by preventing unnecessary excavation. Not every plumbing company has the equipment to get the job done right. We at Express Plumbing Service do have all of the tools and the equipment to handle any plumbing problem you have. We are a trusted premier plumbing company that services the Treasure Valley here in Idaho.
http://www.expressplumbingidaho.com/blog/plumbers-camera-sewer-lines/For the most part getting them out is a relatively straight-forward task, but installing the new ones can be tricky at times. You have to drop the springs into a small recess inside the faucet followed by the rubber seat which also has to sit over the spring and into the recess. Often if there’s water sitting in the faucet, the rubber seat ends up floating up and out of the recess. A good tip is to remove all the sitting water via a sponge or straw so this problem is avoided.I usually, will thread the rubber seat followed by the spring onto a thin blade screwdriver and use it as a guide to lower them into the recess inside the faucet. This has been the way I’ve been doing it ever since I can recall, but recently I found this tool in one of my supplier’s catalogs called a Purge-N-Set tool for seats and springs. Needless to say, besides being a tool geek and curious I had to order one and check it out. Well, I’m happy to say it works really well and for those of you who are having trouble removing and re-installing seats and springs in your Delta faucets, you might want to check it out. You can purchase a Purge-N-Set tool at few online retailers and if you want to see it in action check out the video below where I demonstrate just how it performs.

One leg is imprinted with a ruler, the other leg has raised fences along the edges which can "hook' on the edge of a board, while the hypotenuse contains degree markings which allow the user to mark angles from 0 to 90 degrees. With the fence hooked over the edge of a board, the remaining two sides are ideal for marking 90- and 45-degree cuts, or for guiding a circular saw while making those cuts. The degree markings on the hypotenuse make it especially useful in marking roof rafter angles. Its small size (each leg is about 7-in. long so it easily fits in a tool belt) and its versatility make the Speed Square a mainstay in most carpenters' tool belts or tool boxes. Sawzall—though a registered trademark of Milwaukee Tool—is the term often used to describe any brand of reciprocating saw . It's not hard to see how the nickname developed since a reciprocating saw indeed "saws all" materials. Depending on the type of blade installed , it can cut through lumber, metal, plywood, plastic and cast iron pipe —you name Gordontheplumber.com 24 HR Plumbing Close By it—making it a favorite of remodelers. Blades commonly range in length from 3 to 12 inches and can have anywhere from 6 teeth per inch (for aggressively cutting lumber) to 18 or more teeth per inch for smoothly cutting metal. These saws cut in a back-and-forth motion, similar to a handsaw that's just downed four espressos. The "shoe" at the base of the blade is designed to rest against the material being cut to prevent the tool from hopping around.
https://www.familyhandyman.com/diy-advice/diy-dictionary/Risks and Problems: Orangeburg Pipe [Updated] The Orangeburg pipe situation has been a financial boon for plumbers and a financial burden for homeowners. Named after the town of Orangeburg, New York, where it was first produced, the pipe has about a fifty-year life span. Since the last of the Orangeburg piping was put down in the 1970s, the most recent installations are going to be facing their expiration very soon. If ignored, they could result in an extremely messy and extremely expensive sewer line collapse. A Quick Recap on the Orangeburg Pipe Problem Made of wood pulp that has been sealed with coal tar, Orangeburg has been described by some plumbing professionals as nothing more than a “coal tar-impregnated toilet paper tube.” That it has lasted as long as it has is some sort of miracle, many say. While a form of Orangeburg (otherwise known as bituminous fiber pipe) has been around since the late 1800s, widespread usage of Orangeburg began during World War II due to a shortage of more cast iron materials, which were needed for the war effort. Following the war, Orangeburg continued to proliferate because it was cheap. Sewer piping tends to be “out of sight, out of mind” until there’s, at a minimum, some sort of water backup. That’s just what happened to homeowner Erika Dronen. “We started having problems with our sewer line about a week after purchasing our home,” Dronen told The Patch .

But when you turn the faucet handle, cold water rains down on you (on the opposite end of the spectrum, you’re looking for a cold-water wake-me-up only to receive water with the heat of a thousand suns). So what’s the deal, and what’s the fix? Sacramento, we’re here to help. Unlike repairing a water heater , adjusting it is a simple task that generally doesn’t require calling in the experts. First, a little background information. Your hot water heater thermostat regulates the temperature in the water heater. If the temperature is too low, water becomes cold before it reaches the faucet (Brrr…). If it’s set too high, cooling doesn’t occur and you risk possible burning and scalding of your skin (Ouch!). To avoid either scenario, most thermostats have a control that allows you to set the temperature to your personal preference.
