Friendly and Reliable Brighton Plumbers
I recently bought a 2″ PCV ball valve adapter thing to connect two pipes. This is not for plumbing purposes, but I’m making a potato cannon for a project, so are there any methods to make it easier to turn? IN THIS CASE, A STIFF HANDLE IS NOT GOOD.
wot could be the fault? main condensing combi boiler 30 he
The very condensed version of the story is that the plumber came to fix my boiler, two weeks later it broke again, they spent 1.5 days at my house to try to solve the problem only to leave us two times with carbon monoxide emissions around 110 PPM (1-2 PPM is normal) After they left us with the boiler still broken, our local power company came over and within 5 minutes he had identified and fixed the problem. The plumber billed us $1000.
For whatever reason, I feel really guilty about this because he spent so much time at our house, but I can’t justify paying him because he essentially caused the problem, did not fix the problem and left us with a furnace emitting very high levels of carbon monoxide. On top of it all, the guy from the power company came in and fixed the problem by replacing a missing piece of the pilot assembly within 5 mins.
Thoughts on the case? Why do I feel guilty?
PS He is very mad and probably going to sue us.
I paid him for the initial repair.
The man who built this house in 1973 evidently ran the main line from the meter to the stub up under the house in schedule 40 3/4 PVC. We dug up the break and repaired it, but now we have virtually no water pressure in the house. We opened the faucet at the highest point in the house and that helped a bit, but the water will run moderately at any given point in the house for a minute or two and then slowly turn into a drizzle and then nothing. Any ideas before I have to call a plumber and pay him money that I need to pay my mortgage this month?
Cleaned out aerators and supply lines to toilets – helped but still not to original pressure before we fixed the break. Checking for other leaks. thanks
I’ve got a meeting with my plumber on Monday and he wants me to choose either a vented or non vented boiler as we need to replace the boiler in our property when we have it renovated.
What is the difference between the two and what are the advantages of each? What do I need to take into consideration?
