Leaking hydrant
I've found it dribbling on and off all summer. It has started gushing around the main shaft too. It's only a few feet from the meter and shutoff. Do I take pipe wrenches and spin the head off or dig up the entire hydrant? What's the procedure?
There is no identifying maker. Do they make a universal hydrant rebuild with new o-rings etc.?
Botched boiler job
Hi all! I am very proud to be a part of the plumbing community on reddit as it's helping me with my current apprenticeship so much! I had a look at some work a plumber had done as we had a leaking PRV discharging from outside the property. Apparently the plumber fixed the leak (leak is still continuing) and upon my inspection I saw the copper to plastic coupling on the flow pipe that has been attached and most dangerously the earthing wire has been cut and not fixed to the flow pipe. I found out there was a charge of nearly £300 for this work that to me isn't safe, poor workmanship as well as having the initial issue still ongoing. What do you all think? Are my suspicions right?
Toilet Crack -Monitor or Replace
Think this crack has been here about a year, maybe longer. It spans from where you can see her down into the inside of the lip, but not the exterior or interior walls of the bowl. I've read some horror stories on here recently regarding cracked porcelain, so now I'm leaning towards replacing the bowl. Just wondering if this would be an over-reaction on my part.
