Hello elsagonzalez5004, You're welcome! I am glad the video helped! I generally take a refresher in most of the projects I tackle other than plumbing. For some reason the old brain doesn't remember like it use to. LOL CONGRATS on the repairs! Thanks for the kind words and enjoy your day! Al

Hello vanessasam6630, I guess that would depend on what kind of shape the wall is in. Generally if the water has been running inside the wall for a long period of time and there is tile on the wall it gets soft underneath the spout and you get into a project by having to replace the gyproc and tile. I usually go with gyproc, Schluter than tile.Hopefully in your case it isn't that bad. The only way I can think of is to use a dehumidifier and let it run for a number of days. It will take some time, but it will work. Hope this helps! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your day! Al

Hello Squig8, I am glad to hear that everything worked out for you! A little elbow grease goes a long way. I never use chemicals and one of the reasons is if I have to take the drain apart under the sink to put a snake I will be dealing with toxic chemicals which could cause some serious issues. Not at all good for the environment as well! I have seen a few people with chemical burns from drain cleaners. Congrats on the repair and enjoy your day! Al

Hello colleenlloyd2331, The valve I installed in the video was a ball valve 1/4 turn. They work great as long as you don't have any heavy mineralized water. I use ball valves whenever possible. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your day! Al

Hello gpstoddard, You're welcome! Here is one number that I found...Aqua-Dynamic Closet Floor Flange 3 Inch Inside Fit Plastic Model # 3494-001 This is just one number. If you go to your local hardware store or big box store they should carry this flange as it is quite popular. Thanks for commenting and best of luck with the project! Al

Hello frankyu6984, Lots going on with that scenario. It doesn't really add any pressure or suction on the drain itself. Placing the stopper allows the force of the plunger to work on the drain. It works on most plugged drains unless there is a large amount of grease that has gone down it. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your day! Al

Hello diefordethklok3711, You can pick them up on amazon for as little as $21 dollars if you have prime. You could also ask at your local hardware store if they have any free cartridges. I know many of them trade the old cartridge for the new. Hope this helps! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your day! Al

Hello gcolonius8270, First we will start with the type of faucet you have in your bathroom. If it is a Moen and pull the handle out to turn on the water than changing the cartridge will not make any difference. If you have a Moen faucet that you simply turn the handle for the water to flow then you have a posi-temp faucet and if this is the case then you have a problem with the cartridge. The older style Moen faucets were the pull out style and the water temperature fluctuated all over the map if someone in the house turned on water elsewhere. It sounds like it is this style. Hope this helps! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your day! Al

Hello a.p.4987, I am glad everything worked out for you! A little elbow grease goes a long way! Plugging the overflow is key to allowing the plunger to do its thing. Same procedure goes for a bathroom sink if you come across that issue! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your day! Al

Hello harishkommuri5350, You're welcome! I am glad to hear it helped out. Hopefully the drain is clear and flowing! Congrats on the repair! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

Hello petertrast, LOL! I take it you're not a fan. I am a big Moen fan myself, but to each is own! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

@@TheOldkid888 yeah, 3rd replacement on the same shower valve in 5 years. They just can't handle hard water. 🤣

Hello carold.7907, First thing is to check what type of faucet you have. The one in the video is Waltec. You will need to shut off the water and remove the handle. Once you have done that you unscrew the chrome extension as in the video so that you can remove the cartridge. CRack the cartridge open a little and this will help in the removal. You can either replace the entire cartridge which is probably the way to go or try removing the screw on the end of the cartridge and replace the washer. While the cartridge is out it would be good to check the seat inside the faucet to make sure it is not pitted. If so you will need a 5/16 Allen wrench to remove it. Place a little teflon on the threads of the seat and insert in faucet body. tighten it in and then install the cartridge. From there it is just a matter of threaded the chrome extension back on and securing the handle. P.S. the seat you need for this faucet is longer than the regular ones for sink faucets. Keep that in mind when shopping for parts. Hope this helps! Thanks for commenting and best of luck with the repair! Al

@@TheOldkid888 yes it's an old Waltec style, still sell them. I will get around to it. If I recall when I installed it there were pipes sticking out of the wall. What I would really like is to replace the plumbing behind the wall and update. Thanks for replying

Hello NEDERLAM, You've been lucky. All depends on water quality. Some can be a fight until the end while other slide out as if they were just installed. Thanks for commenting and enjoy week! Al

Hello sweetbeep, My apologize on the late response. Not sure how I missed these. You should have a few inches of water in the tub to get proper suction. Same goes for any other fixture you are suing a plunger on. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

@@TheOldkid888 thanks for answering! I have seen comments on my channel only go to the RUclips creator studio app for some reason, and I don't see them for months or years. But yah so will stuff invariably be regurgitated and make a mess? Or can we push it down?

Hello sweetbeep, That's interesting! I will have to check into that. As bad as it seems when you pull up on the plunger it will draw that nasty material out of the drain. It's best to draw as much up as possible and use a few paper towels to remove the material. It does prevent the drain from becoming plugged farther down the line. You can push it down, but it's best if you draw as much of it into the tub as you can. Now you know how to do a bathtub; a basin works exactly the same. A double sink and you put the plug in one side and then plunge the other. A shower is simply straightforward as you only need to use the plunger directly on it. Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al

@@TheOldkid888 before you commented to me, I began the process and used a hook made from copper wire and bent by a home Depot worker and a blade to cut the hairs off the crossbars. I pulled up most of the gob. Need to do some more. I'm thinking a needle nosed pliars and long scissors might work the best! What do you think?

Hello zooedca, You would be looking for an inside fit toilet flange. Home Depot sells it and I believe this is the correct model number. ( 3494-001) Be sure when you glue it in that your t-bolts are going to be equal distant from the wall as the top of the flange does not turn or spin like other flanges and to cut the abs as close as possible to the concrete. Slightly below works even better. You can do this with a jigsaw or reciprocating saw using it on an angle. Stuff a rag in the pipe below the concrete to prevent any pieces from going into the drain. This is crucial as the flange itself is quite thick and if it isn't laying flat on the floor perfectly your toilet will not sit flat on the floor especially if you are only using a thin material for flooring. If you are using tile instead of linoleum you will have some wiggle room. I have always called this a fitting floor flange only it fits inside the pipe rather than into a fitting. Hope this helps! Thanks for commenting and best of luck with the project! Al

@@TheOldkid888 Thank you for the information. I went last night and grabbed it from Home Depot... My project for the weekend!

@@zooedca Best of luck with the project! Al

Hello lcgdsllm, You are more than welcome! Glad everything worked out for you! Congrats on the repair! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your weekend! Al

Hello andyjordan4695, Thanks for the kind words! I tried to cover all the basis. This technique has worked for me for the past 45 years with no issues. Keeping both the fitting and pipe clean and free of any water is crucial for soldering a water tight joint. I hope it helps with any future projects! Thanks for commenting and enjoy your week! Al
