Drain Plumbing Water Damage Clean up Sewage Back up Problems

Drain problems causation and trouble shooting

What could cause gurgling in a rarely used wet-bar sink when water drains in the kitchen at one end of the house or in a bath at the other end? Chances are that the wet bar isn t vented or that its vent stack is blocked. You could check by looking for a plumbing vent pipe protruding through the roof above the area. It will look like the ones above kitchen and bath.

Sluggish drainage is one symptom of this problem. Sewer smell is another . When water drains in the kitchen or bath , it siphons water out of the wet bar s drain trap , which produces a gurgling noise. Without the seal provided by water in the drain trap , sewer gas can rise up through the sink and into the house .

If you don t use the wet-bar sink because of these problems , call a plumber to install an auto-vent. With this in place, the other drains won t siphon water out the trap. If you don t use it and don t really want it , have the plumber remove it and close the drain connection . In the meantime you can reduce the sewer gas smell by periodically pouring some water in the wet bar drain to keep the trap full.

Big Backups

Even with vapor venting, trap placement , and pipe sizing , drains still may be slow. This indicates a big blockage farther down the line. The best indicator that a blockage is in the waste line is sewage gurgling up through floor drains and basement fixtures. Solving this problem depends on your septic system type.

If you have a septic system with a leach field , your septic tank may need to be pumped out . This is a job for professional, but it s important to be around when the pumping concludes . Ask the pump operator if the tank was filled with enough greasy scum to cause the drain problems. If not , the pipes in the leach field itself may be the problem . Digging them up may be the only solution .

If your tied into a municipal sewage system , check to see whether any work has been done on your branch line lately . If so , it could have caused problems with your drainage , If not, tree roots may have gotten in the pipes . Hire a professional to auger the line and pull out the tree roots; thereafter , flush copper sulfate root treatment through the line twice year .

Do it yourself

There is snaking the kitchen line , clean out the pop up drain plugs hair clogged.. To access the trip waste linkage above the drain tub. If you cant get your toilet unclogged may have to remove the toilet snake it apply a new wax ring and reset it . Don t understand that process let a plumber handle it is just cheaper and safer, good luck.

Windows Doors and Much Much More

After years if use and layer upon layer of paint, your windows may not be broken, but they did were new. On older homes , single-pane glass and worn jambs are not doing much to keep the heat in during winter, and the old paint can make windows nearly impossible to open can make windows nearly impossible to open and close .
You could spend hours scraping the windows down to bare wood and wind up with the same old energy-inefficient model. Replacing them makes better use of your time and money. These days you can get inexpensive , custom made replacement windows with double glazing that drastically improves the unit’s insulating value. You could also opt for low-emissivity glass or even triple glazing if you live in area with very cold winters .

Options for Replacements

You have three basic choices-sash kits , replacement windows that fit into existing frames, or entirely new windows that fit into existing frames, and casing. With sash kits, you get new standard-size sashes-the window glass and the frame around it-plus new jamb liners, which are the tracks that hold the sash in place. Sash frames can be wood or vinyl with double glazing. Your existing window frame, casing, and trim all stay in place, and all installation work is done from the inside . On the downside , a sash kit typically is not as energy-efficient as a new window.

Replacement windows are entirely new, energy-efficient units custom-made to fit into an existing window frame , usually at no extra cost. These windows have less glass area than the old ones, but if cost is a major consideration , vinyl replacement windows are the way to go.

New windows give you a wider range of options-you can go to larger sizes and different shapes – but the installation involves a lot more work because you have to rip out the old window entirely. If the new one is only a little larger, you may be able to take advantage of extra space in the rough frame that was formerly occupied by the sash weights . For larger windows , it means cutting a bigger wall opening and installing a new framing.

Tools needed pry bar, level, flat head , hammer , nails, reciprocating saw, utility knife and shims.
Unsticking windows , Once spring arrives and the weather warms up, you’ll want to open all your windows all the way and let the fresh air in . But moving parts that have been locked in place over the winter may refuse to budge . So start small : just try to get the windows cracked. If the frame is swollen from the moisture of the window sash and the surrounding frame are sealed by paint , you could be in for a wrestling match.

Ways to unstick un pry flat bar without forcing it. Slice apart window pane utility knife, near the painted seam. Helps using putty knife .
