If you use copper crimp rings on your pex, don’t forget to recalibrate them!

This is the second flood in this neighborhood hood, same plumber using his old 1 in PEX crimper.

The little dial on the side of the crimper that has 0-9 on it, take the clip out and rotate one interval, use go-nogo gauge to make sure it crimps properly.

Something you don’t see as often, Chanel rot on copper. Most likely from excessive drain opener use or untreated condensate waste.

Sometimes you gotta get a little extra help!

You can see on this water heater, clear signs of it back drafting. The plastic plates are melted. You can also see that some one installed the draft diverter misaligned.

Mechanical code also requires minimum 12” from top of water heater before the vent can go horizontal, which is any angle under 45 degrees from vertical.

Changing your anode rod in your water heater is something that goes over looked until it’s completely gone like this one!

An anode rod is a softer, sacrificial metal, that the water corrodes before any significant corrosion happens to the water heater tank. It protects the tank.

Some areas, the water will eat through anode rods in as little as one to two years, in my area they pretty easily last 10 years.

You can make a water heater last 20 years if you always have a good anode in the tank and you manage the scale build up in the tank.

It’s so fun to change a shower valve cartridge when the valve don’t secure and it’s plumbed in CPVC.
