( basically installing ice machines.) My utility company gave me a bill for 392 thousand gallons of water. And to say that an absolute ton of water for a home is an understatement. Obviously everyone&#39;s first assumption is a leak, and I did some checking. I watched the meter for a five minutes it ran 0.16 gallons, quick math on a calculator 1382.4 gallons over the course of month. I turned off the first ball valve in my house and meter stopped moving entirely. So a bit more measuring and looking online for the equation to measure water volume; I&#39;ve come up with a minimum of 90&#39; and a maximum of 110&#39; of ¾&quot; water line and no tool to measure the water velocity. But from installing and servicing ice machines i know water pressure in my town is always between 100psi and 80psi. Found an online calculator for that and ran the numbers and if I cut my water main at 90&#39; and let it dump for a month it would come out to 335,232 gallons over 30 days. Water company been out 2 times, saying their number is correct. The first guys work order has completely vanished, like he never came in the first place. And the second guy took one of the 3 water meters out, and I&#39;m betting when I call today that the work order will be gone as well. Can anyone please verify my math, so I can prove/disprove this amounts possibility. </p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Mine_Vegetable"> /u/Mine_Vegetable </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Plumbing/comments/1mo890k/can_someone_please_help/">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Plumbing/comments/1mo890k/can_someone_please_help/">[comments]</a></span> Plumbing /u/Mine_Vegetable Cold Water Tap A Bit Warm https://www.reddit.com/r/Plumbing/comments/1mo82is/cold_water_tap_a_bit_warm/ Plumbing help offered here, please post pictures. urn:uuid:6697cc82-48bc-b979-1dfd-a327ec57d8cf Tue, 12 Aug 2025 12:59:59 +0000 <!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Over the past few weeks I noticed our cold water tap was a bit warmer than usual.

Didn&#39;t see anything else that would cause such a lack in pressure. They&#39;re on a septic system / well water. Anyways, so when under the sink, the large brass nut that keeps the faucet tight to the sink is difficult to take off, lack of room on either on side (exterior wall and sink wall) prevents me from using a wrench. It doesn&#39;t have what faucets today have with a threaded ring and then a screw to tighten underneath to the sink underside. I bought a Klein multi plumber tool with what appears to be a hexagonal wrench for gripping the nut and twisting off. I have not gone over there since buying the tool to try. Are those faucet nuts that are thread on the long threaded part that contains the separate water lines a common size? I want to be sure the tool I bought will indeed fit and allow me to turn it to remove it and replace faucet. Thanks.</p> <p>PS - If that doesn&#39;t work, I&#39;m considering loosening the screws that hold the sink down and removing the drain pipes and pulling the sink out to access the nut.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Difficult-Audience77"> /u/Difficult-Audience77 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/gallery/1mo6kj5">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Plumbing/comments/1mo6kj5/kitchen_faucet_replacement_nut_removal/">[comments]</a></span> </td></tr></table> Plumbing /u/Difficult-Audience77 Any way to get this P-trap off? https://www.reddit.com/r/Plumbing/comments/1mo66kh/any_way_to_get_this_ptrap_off/ Plumbing help offered here, please post pictures. urn:uuid:4650f48a-bed8-b002-e2fa-444f807cbae6 Tue, 12 Aug 2025 11:31:57 +0000 <table> <tr><td> <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Plumbing/comments/1mo66kh/any_way_to_get_this_ptrap_off/"> <img src="https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/InWoF_S6IRMniWXxNjZ0VtLyaBzWNQ8XOA4GEmVhjzw.jpg" alt="Any way to get this P-trap off?" title="Any way to get this P-trap off?" /> </a> </td><td> <!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I dropped something expensive down the drain.

The shower is leaking a bit, so I thought I&#39;d try to fix it. I&#39;ve replaced tap washers, valves etc before, so I figured it wouldn&#39;t be an issue. However, it seems that I need to access stuff inside the wall, and the hole is closed up with black silicone (or something similar). The disc is also stuck to the tile, perhaps glued with the same silicone.</p> <p>Given that I have even less experience with silicone and caulk guns than I do with plumbing, would I be better off just getting a professional to do it? I&#39;m concerned that if I take off the disc and silicone myself, I may miss something important in putting things back and have water leaking into my walls.

Due to the bulldozing all old water lines have been crimped so I have to establish a new main line for anything on the foundation. Can I run pipe down the front and side of the raised foundation to get this done. If so what would be the best way to protect it. A pvc channel or plastic wall Channel that I can drill into the side of the foundation. If you would like a visual I made a video about it on TikTok </p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/bbqGawd"> /u/bbqGawd </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://v.redd.it/mnjmh1farjif1">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Plumbing/comments/1mo2v81/needing_advice_for_service_line_extension/">[comments]</a></span> </td></tr></table> Plumbing /u/bbqGawd AO Smith Proline Leaking https://www.reddit.com/r/Plumbing/comments/1mo2hbe/ao_smith_proline_leaking/ Plumbing help offered here, please post pictures. urn:uuid:b49055c8-146a-5da2-21f0-06cd559c76cd Tue, 12 Aug 2025 07:46:54 +0000 <!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>After just 18 months, I knew AO Smith Proline started leaking all over the basement floor.

There is a ball at the back of the screw and once you unscrew the ball all the way to the bottom, it doesn’t budge at all. The other side won’t even unscrew at all and seems stuck. Does anyone have any tips on how to unscrew this ball. We tried a drill and a wrench still won’t budge. Not sure how to move forward.
