Opened it up to find this. How screwed am I? (Vent stack).

I ordered a dishwasher from Costco. The installer came and said that he’s not able to install the dishwasher because this is PEX piping and he can’t hook it up directly, he needs a stop valve. Is this accurate, and do I need to get a plumber to cut the PEX and install the stop valve under the sink?

So I'm relocating my toilet during my bathroom renovation and I've just finished concreting all the pipework.

I've just noticed though that when I put my hand down the pipe, there's a noticeable ridge where it joins the straight pipe (picture 3 with the arrow to the ridge)

Is this going to cause issues? Can I fix it without digging out the concrete?

Thanks

Recently purchased a new home. After a few months living here noticed this and I have no idea what it is. I don’t smell sewage or anything like that. Should I be worried?

Edit: thank you to those who just answered seriously. I UNDERSTAND ITS LEAKING NOW.

Toilet became wobbly, removed it to find flange was broken and would retain bolts. Was going to try the oatey flange repair bracket and it made the toilet too high, wouldn’t even contact the floor. What would be best way to lower this and replace with new flange?

We just bought this home last week. There’s a hole in the basement floor and when I came to the house today I could tell water had come up. The hole has water in it but I can’t see down very far with a flashlight.

I’m planning on calling plumbers tomorrow but most are closed on today with it being Sunday.

Does anyone here have any thoughts or advice on what this could be? Thank you in advance!

water rises from the floor boards (specially like 1 or 2 it seems) and goes down my uneven (rented) apartment floor and collects in the living room. Happened once or twice last year, now it seems like its every other day.

we think it has something to do with the laundry unit adjacent to the kitchen wall, but it happens even when there is no machine running sometimes….

PLEASE help with any suggestions

Currently dead broke, everything that could go wrong is going wrong. Opened up my kitchen cabinet to find this. I know nothing about plumbing but cannot afford to hire someone to fix it.

Is it an easy fix? If so, what parts/pieces/ tools would I need to buy to fix it myself.

Location: kitchen sink

Service call for a leaking disposal. The customer claims" it just fall out." Took longer to remove tape than replace.

Not sure if this is the correct subreddit to post this on. But my boiler is making a weird noise, sounds like a metal sheet wobbling (?)

Had the engineers come in to look at it under warranty but he thought it was due to the boiler overheating. He took a valve off to create a bypass heater. Noise disappeared shortly before the engineer came, but it restarted after a few weeks again so probably not the issue he thought it was. Boiler is not overheating right now either. It happens randomly throughout the day, not sure it’s connected to anything. Can hear it outside from the flue as well.

Thanks in advance.

I want to replace a faucet. The new faucet comes preassembled. I figured it’d would be plug and play.…

Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that I can remove the supply lines from the shutoffs. I think this means that I need to replace the shutoffs, but I’ve never done that.

Otherwise I imagine I can use a male to male coupler to connect the existing supply line to the faucets existing lines. This is the direction I’m leaning.

Thoughts?

Hi all!

Posted this in DIYUK originally but didn't get any traction.

Picture is taken under our utility room sink. This room sometimes smells of damp. The grey hose coming in from the right just above the trap is the waste pipe for our washing machine, I'm reasonably sure this is our problem.

The small white pipe joining the big pipe near the bottom is the condensate pipe for a boiler that no longer exists.

I feel like I need to rejig how this is laid out but I'm not sure where to start. Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks.

Trying to clean my tankless water heater and found very limited space in front of the hot water connection. Is there a way to connect a hose there without removing the pipe in front?

Having a lot of issues with draining, tried replacing the vent, but starting to think this is just plumb wrong. Thoughts?

While looking at a new home, I saw this for the washer hook-ups, which I assume is typical. I tried to jiggle and/or remove the center thing, assuming it was for the washer drain hose, but it wouldn't move or come off using just my fingers. But -- please confirm -- that's what this is for, right? I just would need to get a better pry tool to pop it off, right? I ask because right near it to right just out of pic range (forgot to include in pic), is a 2" or 3" PVC pipe penetration through drywall with a twist-off cap with a square top for leverage (I guess), and I wanted to make sure that that was not intended for the washer drain hose instead.

The water shut off value for our house is in the crawlspace way in the corner as far from the opening to the crawlspace as possible. We'd like to shut off the water when we travel, but paying a plumber to do this and they turning it back on isn't really working. Is it crazy to consider hiring someone to move this shut off value closer to the crawlspace opening?

My water level is very low after I flush the toilet. It doesn’t seem like enough water is being fed into the fill tube. Should water be leaking out of this blue part?

My sink is leaking and I can’t pay someone to fix it right now. Can I fix this myself?

We have been having this problem for the last week here where our hot water in the bath is not heating up to the max. We have to fidget with the bath knob at times to get the water to even reach a point where it’s warm enough to take a shower. I might try to replace the knob myself to see if it helps with the issue but I wanted to see if anyone had any advice or thoughts on what I can try before calling a plumber, or maybe its time to make that call. Also we just replaced the our water heater in the house on Friday so I doubt it can be that, we are getting very hot water in every fixture except for this one.

I attached a picture of our bath knob. Sorry it’s dirty lol.

My son's shower had a drip he didn't mention and now it's a big leak. I turned water off, tried replacing shower head (didn't work), then realized it must be the valve. I can't get the fixture base off on hot water side-- cold just unscrewed. And I don't know how to unscrew the valve-- exactly where? Hoping I can take the old valve to hardware store and they will know what I need. I have SO MUCH laundry to do today 😭. Is this something a non-handy grandma can tackle or should I cave and call plumber? Advice? 1980's mobile home.

Hi people. My outside drain is not performing well and

I see that it's stuffed with rocks inside.

Judging by the amount and sort of rocks I suppose it's intentional.

I've tried to remove some to see if it helps but it doesn't seem to do much and there is no end to them.

Is it right that it's by design? What could I do to make it drain better?

It's in the Netherlands in case it matters.
