This is for my hubby - he is a joiner at present but wants a change in career and fancies plumbing. Does anyone know how long it would take to be a fully trained plumber. He is already starting a two year plumming course over two nights a week. But I have a feeling there’s quite a few levels before your fully qualified?

I have radiator heat in my house. The automatic pressure valve was leaking so i had it replaced. The automatic feed for the hot water is shut off. Everything was fine then tonight i was in the basement and i heard water running…the relief valve was pouring water out. I don’t know what to do. It is new and was replaced so something is causing the water to pour out. Please help. I feel like an idiot calling the plumber back 3 days in a row for this.

My friend got a evidence notice telling him that he is the cause of the roaches in the apartment. Which he has no roaches…
He going to have his place inspection if it fail his treaten to move out.
Something doesn’t sound right.. is there a site or something he could do the not have to be evidenced from his home?

A sudden turn of events has me moving out of my apt by Mon. I will move all my stuff into my nearly finished home and camp on the property till it passes final inspection. Crazy. Could use some help. Will make it a party.

Hello all,
I’ve come here for advice. Today my camry started overheating. Upon inspection I see coolant boiling over from my coolant resivor. I visibly see no coolant leak. I have to wait 15 minutes to let the engine cool down and then drive 3 miles and then cool down again. So it took me 1 and 1/2 hour for me to get home today even tho I live 30mins away. When I got home I opened up the radiator cap and coolant gushed everywhere. The coolant color is brown, which I know is not good. So I added new coolant in. I’m gonna see tomorrow morning if it still overheats with the new coolant. Also, I noticed both of my radiator fans are not automatically turning on.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.

My husband is in the Army and has been for 15years, we are ready to buy a house. Im confused with a few things. Do we pay for the appraisal upfront or is this included in the mortgage fees… we were told that we didnt need an inspection because our house is brand new and was just finished being built 3 weeks ago, should we go ahead and get an inspection anyway? We were told theres a home warranty on the house. We are using our VA loan so we wont have to have any money down, except for the earnest money.

Here is the situation…I have 2 bathrooms - one in the basement, one on the second floor. On the basement toilet, there was a slight drip coming from a valve on the supply line running to the toilet tank. Not a big deal, it was fixed fairly easily. When I went to use the upstairs toilet later on in the day, the tank wouldn’t re-fill. The water supply to the 2nd floor toilet doesn’t work. I have running water from the sink & shower on the second floor, just not the toilet. The flex pipe from the supply pipe to the toilet tank was removed, and still no water was coming through this pipe. Seems like there may be a blockage, but could it have anything to do with having the water shut off earlier in the day? The timing of this seems pretty weird. Anyone have an experience like this? Thanks!

My shower drain sometimes smells really bad–like putrid. And in different circumstances it doesn’t smell at all. I think it must have to do with heat rising or something but I’d love it if anyone else had any more insight or solutions
Here are the facts:
-I’ve had a plumber come out and say there’s nothing wrong–no clogs etc.
-I live in a small one room cottage that’s usually just heated by a space heater. When the space heater is in the main room and the bathroom door is closed it gets very cold in the bathroom. When the bathroom is cold the shower smells a lot.
-I just re-caulked the shower so for a while I put the space heater in the bathroom to help it dry faster. Lo and behold, the bad drain smell went away. I’ve discovered that when I keep the shower door open and the heater on in the bathroom, the smell disappears.
-It smells more when it’s cold or raining outside.
-I’ve tried pouring bleach and Drano down the drain to no effect

The garbage disposal under my sink was broken (stuck). Well it was off of course..I put a broom stick in the drain and tried to turn the garbage disposal so it wasnt stuck anymore..Well doing this the garbage disposal colapsed to the bottom of the cabinet under the kitchen sink..Pulling the pipe right out the wall….So the pipe under the kitchen sink is snapped off where it used to connect to the wall…Roughly how much will it cost to have a plumber fix this…I would want it done the cheapest way and I dont care about the drywall under the sink being fixed (since they will have to remove some of it to fix the pipe im guessing)…Will somebody please give me a rough idea on what this would cost to fix? I would really appreciate your help..
Thanks
