Why does my new plumbing still have bad water pressure and risky joints?

“I'm worried I already know the answer...”source ↗

“Get rid of that doody ass Amazon/wayfair shower valve. Those things are complete junk.”source ↗

“We recently replaced our vanity in the bathroom. We then discovered that the piping was illegally done and completely wrong. So my husband attempted to fix it.”source ↗

“She won't be happy when you're ripping open tile in a few years to replace this valve”source ↗

“Well Friday evening we came home to water coming out of the garage.”source ↗

“Other than there is no access from the back so when the valve fails you get to bust up whatever interior surface you chose.”source ↗

“It's siphons the water out of the trap, making it lose its seal, letting poo poo fumes into your house”source ↗

“This also wouldn’t pass inspection where I’m at in northern CA. I’ve learned through this sub that different states and countries definitely have different rules…”source ↗

“sorry you have to deal with that shit.”source ↗

“Woke up this morning with water in the basement sump because my backflow relief had been triggered, and my whole 4" main was full of water.”source ↗

“Scoped the line and found roots. Dug it up and found this hack job. Complete disconnect in the pipes at the Fernco.”source ↗

“Never in my (admittedly short) 2 years of plumbing have I seen a piece of ABS glued to copper like this.”source ↗

“I’m in the same boat thinking about putting a full bath in the basement. I’d have to tie into the main stack somewhere on another floor with the only place the bathroom can go in the basement. Otherwise a vent like this would solve me a lot of problems but I don’t think it would pass code in my area.”source ↗

“got told we have water in the drawer under the sink, never thought of looking at the setup where I live, should have, old owner was a do it yourself type”source ↗

“My question is will the be code compliment, or cause any issues since everything flows past the toilet without it being on its own branch?”source ↗

“I left mid conversation with the dude, told me he’s been doing this longer than I’ve been alive. He called my boss and told him he’s never had to vent a washing machine and that vent 90’s are fine and that I just had a hard on for him. I should’ve just left when there was no air or water on the drain lines. So many things wrong in each pic 🤣”source ↗

“Rate this job by a fellow maintenance man. Tell me what you think or know he did wrong…”source ↗

“Unfortunately, our supply house are closed on the weekend. Only box stores, and that ain’t happening.”source ↗

“Years ago my uncle bought a flipped home with a basement he put a 5k pool table in under the tub that was piped in with cpvc spout and in the middle of a shower the spout broke off.”source ↗

“Other than using way too much solder what did I do wrong. It’s not leaking.”source ↗

“Drain was clogged, used one of those zipper cleaning tools and it decided to break off in the drain.”source ↗

“I took everything apart and got broken piece out along with ungodly muck. Put everything back together and no leaks, but this just doesn’t look right. This is a bathroom sink.”source ↗

“I’m in a rental home, should I just call it a win and put everything back?”source ↗

“They can siphon and let sewer gas into house.”source ↗

“Builder says this is temporary because he didn’t have the parts to do it correctly and will come do it right another day. I don’t think I want him touching this again since Home Depot is right up the road and I still got stuck with this. Is this something I can do myself or should I call a plumber?”source ↗

“I have been trying to improve the water pressure in my residence and thought I might have a leak in this area so I dug out the pipe.”source ↗

“I couldn't find any leaks but the pipe looks old crusty rusty and my neighbor broke the knob with his mower.”source ↗

“I see 42 psi at this faucet but it sure doesn't feel like water pressure/flow inside the house is as strong as it should be.”source ↗

“All of the house plumbing was recently professionally upgraded to pex but the quality of my showers or speed of filling a bucket never improved.”source ↗

“Do you think it’s still good to use or should I buy a new pipe? I see washer missing from the screw on piece, but was just going to replace the whole piece. Last guy who did it I think did a lazy job, and now leak is back after a few years”source ↗

“Fill a sink with water, let it drain with this, it will siphon.”source ↗

“Subfloor and crawlspace. Probably need new moisturizer blocker plastic since we can't see it”source ↗

“It looks like the 90-Degree fittings will snap and flood the house one day. Am I crazy? That bend must be putting a lot of pressure on the fitting.”source ↗

“I am looking a buying a new house. I also saw a P Trap that is actually an S Trap. I gotta have this place inspected for sure.”source ↗

“I have encountered a copper to pvc repair where massive amounts of silicone were used to make the connection.”source ↗

“Dad took the basement toilet off now I need to help put it back on.”source ↗

“Looks like the bolts were just in the concrete floor and broke off?”source ↗

“The cast iron pipe is too wide to anchor a flange?”source ↗

“Im just very confused, this doesn't look like the other one I have done. What am I supposed to do?”source ↗

“Unfortunately I live in Tennessee, no plans required for residential homes under 5k sq ft. They were caught working with no permits to begin with.”source ↗

“I do drain cleaning and this can't be serviced”source ↗

“They were so close. Had all the right pieces and everything”source ↗

“I’m a total rookie and so is my husband. But after the tile installer left today, he noticed that it was way crooked. This is a Schluter channel body.”source ↗

“It’s already connected to the pipe that goes in the ground and shouldn’t it be level?”source ↗

“Still makes me salty I gotta deal with this lol. I don’t even want to think about the huge crack in the main line(large cast iron pipe) to the septic tank.”source ↗

“The rest is going to be a headache without professional help.”source ↗

“Trap couldn't be straight under due to the drawer”source ↗

“Yeah really thought about carving the bottom of the cupboard for it and prayed a little I could make it work without it”source ↗

“We've had zero plumbing issues in our house for years until a month ago when we had a roof replacement.”source ↗

“The week after we had a main sewer line back up which ejected sewage waste out of our ground floor bathroom toilet, sink and bath tub after emptying a bath upstairs.”source ↗

“At the same time and after this we started to started to get sewage smells up our kitchen sink, followed by gurgling and loud noises as the water is running down both the garbage disposal side and the regular drain side of the secondary sink.”source ↗

“I don’t know anything about plumbing but the sagging and the pitch doesn’t look right to me.”source ↗

“my sink is starting to back up again. It did two days after they cut out the pipe.”source ↗

“This is a picture my landlords maintenance men sent to my landlord’s phone and he diagnosed it from this picture as being a new clog in my fault.”source ↗

“Looks like something chewed through the pipe what would cause this? I’ve used draino before but I thought it was safe for pvc.”source ↗

“Rate my fix here. (Gotta hook up dishwasher soon) just replacing leaky parts with new”source ↗

“Why the plumber putty on the p trap”source ↗

“I had a plumber come in and plumb in a new lateral, and am noticing what I think are issues, wanting a plumbers opinion on if I am overreacting.”source ↗

“Why are the valve and tub spout not centered together, I got to see the view from inside the tub 😭”source ↗

“Toilet leaks at the mounting bolt that holds the tank to the base.”source ↗

“They just reinstalled the old toilet but didn't check for leaks when they filled it and didn't seal the water pipe to the floor so water is leaking behind the toilet and down the pipe hole which is basically acting like a drain and soaking the new subfloor.”source ↗

“The collar wasn't tight, the tube appears to be either broken or cut and has tape around it holding the two pieces together.”source ↗

“So please, someone tell me I'm not crazy and this is completely unacceptable or if I'm being overly anal about something silly.”source ↗

“I’m just worried about that little band clamp if that’s something reliable or up to code. Not looking to come home to a flooded house.”source ↗

“Everywhere I read this Schluter system channel body should be completely level every direction before proceeding with the tile and the shower pan. Please tell me I’m mistaken because I’m super worried right now.”source ↗

“The gas line only has one cut off and is tied into a pipe that’s running to seemingly nowhere too.”source ↗

“In short, our builder didn’t connect the water pipe running from the fridge to the mains (he ran a pipe under the floor & didn’t connect it to the mains) & it’s now inaccessible.”source ↗

“As a resolution he’s now ran a water pipe outside, above ground with barely any insulation. He insists it’s correct and it will not freeze during the winter.”source ↗

“I’m lost and he thinks what he’s done is correct.”source ↗

“I was thinking it wouldn’t be an s-trap since I didn’t have to trim any length off of the horizontal p-trap arm…. Still may try your suggestion though”source ↗

“Am i crazy or should the pvc piping be copper?”source ↗

“Not permitted for the relief. PVC is only rated for 120 degrees”source ↗

“white PVC is not. It’s wrong.”source ↗

“1. boot is below the shingles”source ↗

“2. plumbing stack seems too short”source ↗
