any idea what could cause a toilet to make a high pitched whistle after it flushes? it didnt used to do this, and is loud as fuck until the tank fills back up




there's a piece of debris (like a small rock or metal shaving) in the ballcock(fill valve).  replace the ballcock, its probably not worth fixing unless you have an older kohler or toto(the lowboy one piece kind from the late eighties/early nineties)

what brand toilet is it?  sometimes its just a matter of putting the right flapper on.  if you can find a model number, you can go to a local plumbing supply, and have them give you the right one.  sounds like maybe you need the kind with a little foam float attached to the chain

the toilet was installed in the late 80's, probably 89. although the plastic and metal inside of it have all been replaced at one point or another. its old though, its a 4 gallon flush(i think)

thats awesome to know though. its actually in very good shape still, and this is a recent problem. my dad will really appreciate this info :thumbup:

i'll have to look at the actual model when my familys awake, cause i have to walk thru their room to get to that one.

HVAC guys are just pissy cause they spend thier days in the attic.
wall hangers and painters tend to be twacked out most of the time IME.

You skipped my question i think but it's chill.

I couldn't tell if you were answering me or Gresh but I'm assuming Gresh because I replaced what I'd imagine to be called a flapper already.

i answered you as well.  i was sayin that your toilet probably doesn't take a "universal" flapper, and you need to purchase the one that is designed for your toilet.  oftentimes, when a previously working toilet has a shitty flush, its because the flapper is closing too quickly.  i don't know what kind you have, but if this is the case, i imagine that the one you need has a foam float attached to the chain.  if you already have the right one, you may need to adjust the height of the float(on the chain between the handle lever and the flapper)

The issue was there even before I replaced the flapper though.. It could have been replaced before I moved in though. I'll check it out.

Thanks man

oen time, a guy with a medical condition kept shitting in the master bathroom, even though he knew the drain had come apart under the house.
the crawlspace had 3 inches of shitter water with nice logs and TP floating everywhere.  we dried it up half assed with an air mover, and then i had to crawl down there, laying a tarp out in front of me as i went, and i raked and bagged up the top few inches of shit mud before i replaced the fucked up pipes that some jackass had scabbed together with a rubber combi
and no my name isn't joe.

ever start any small fires while sweating or soldering copper?


I caught the inside of drywall once or twice, but it was small enough to just blow out.  One time though, there was some insulation under the hole I had cut in the wall (maybe the bottom foot of the drywall) where some insulation had fallen in there, and it caught pretty good while I was sweating a fitting off.  I had some water next to me and put it out, but it was scary how fast the old shit lit up





??

drywall is basically fire proof and so is insulation.....?

Insulation will kind of spark^sparkle but they make that shit fire proof on purpose.
