We're just getting started on our basement remodel. The room we're building is next to the mechanical area and is going to be a home office, so aesthetics aren't super important, but we're trying to maximize the space while still making it look nice. We'll build a wall next to the gas water...

Hello all- New here and don’t know if this is the right place for this. We had a handyman over who cut a piece of drywall out near our dryer and managed to stab a hole in our dryer vent pipe. He offered to fix it with foil sealant tape, but I am seeing mixed messages on this method. Can anyone...

We are remodeling the bathroom, moving the sink and bathtub (originally a shower). The shower and toilet were along the same pipe line and vented in a privacy wall next to the toilet. The sink used and AAV. I can continue to use AAV in the new sink location or tie all three into the same vent...

I have moisture gather on top of the hex adapter where the 2 " PVC vent stack goes into a 3" tee. The hex adapter has slots on top that are filled with water. There is no moisture on the stack pipe itself. There are copper hot/cold supply pipes in front, but they are not sweating either. What...

This is for a rental unit with a gas wall heater that went kaput a few weeks ago. The contractor did the job and I was grateful since my tenants finally had heat during a cold snap. I have to do drywalling and took a closer work at the job. Am I overreacting or are these possible problems...

Hi, I am renovating my master bathroom and took down the soffits over the sinks. One problem, there's a vent pipe that protrudes about 4" into the room. There was nothing else in the soffit. I guess I want to just build a small angled from around it and sheetrock over it. Any suggests how to...

I will be installing a utility sink with a 2" drain line running approximately 10' to the outside of the slab. I plan to tie bath sink and shower drains into the same 2" drain line. I've seen pictures that show the connections to the main (in this case the 2") drain line (from sink and shower)...

Hello Everyone, I recently had some plumbing work done and the 4" galvanized soil pipe which extends through the roof and down into my basement was cut and replaced with PVC at the 2nd floor bathroom (long story, but it had to be done.). I was really concerned about having the work done...

DISCLAIMER: I've done a TON of remodeling work in our 25 year old home and I've really done tons of homework on being a responsible home-owner and DIYer (thank the Lord for YouTube and DIY books!), but this issue has me stumped. Before having my hubby dig up our yard (he's a Federal employee and...

Hi there, I'm hoping someone can give me an answer as to what they think this pipe is for (pictured below): It is approximately 4' tall rising out of the concrete slab of the basement foundation, in the utility room. It has been capped, but I have no idea if it is for a previous water...

Hi all, I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I hope some folks can help me out. I am in the US military stationed in Belgium working for NATO. My wife and I are renting a house here that is heated by oil. The oil delivery company told us that we needed to add a whistle to our...

I'm going to be running a vent pipe from a basement bathroom up to the roof. I'd like to use iron pipe for the venting so as to avoid the possibility of somebody putting a nail or drywall screw into the pipe and allowing sewer gas to escape into the house. Is iron pipe still allowed for...
