Plumbing Installation - Plumbing Questions
1.40How much should it cost to add a basic kitchenette to a basement?
Q.There is rough in plumbing behind the wall where the kithchenette will go, and we'd ask the contractor to put in six to eight oak cabinets, a basic countertop, a sink, and install a dishwasher. Probably need 2 new electrical outlets.
A.It obviously depends on a lot of things. Are you paying for the materials? Are you pulling permits? Does any framing need to be done? If not than it sounds like its basic cabinet installation and minor electrical and a decent amount of plumbing. Depending on your answers to those questions youe looking at anywhere from 1-5k
1.20What does it mean when a house needs new plumbing?
Q.A realtor told this to my fiance on a house. Rather than going ahead and paying an inspector, what does this mean? What does "new plumbing" entail?
A.Well it depends on WHAT he told her....if he said new plumbing then he probably means new water AND drain lines......that would be a repipe of both systems.....but if he said new kitchen lines or bathroom lines then he meant just that......find out EXACTLY what her told her....NOW after saying that i would STILL get the inspector bacause he doesnt just check plumbing...he looks at the WHOLE house.....the framing and support.....electrical.....plumbing....foundation......roof......walls....EVERYTHING....so i would definitely get the inspector that way u will know everything thats needs fixing and not just the plumbing
1.00What type of pipes do I need to pass my plumbing inspection?
Q.My house is a new construction and the outgoing plumbing is just being installed. We are familiar with the type of pipes we need to get to the outside of the house but which type of pipes do we need to go from there to the septic tank? We assume they are different and we need to pass inspection.
A.If you are asking that kind of question, i feel you should ask the "inspector" what he would like to see. If you don't know what type of pipe, you will not know the other laws pertaining to the proper installation of said sewer lines and you will likely fail anyhow.
ask your inspector or a licensed plumber in your area. all jurisdictions may vary.
1.00What is the cost benefit of tankless water heaters?
Q.Benefit of gas vs. electric. Do they save money over normal water heaters?
A.Yes they are more efficient but when I figure in the cost of installation and the fact that gas is the only type that is really practical I wonder about the actual payback with changing to one. The only way I would consider one would be for a new installation where I had no plumbing yet installed and even then I am skeptical about actual savings when you consider the actual loss that occurs in a tank type water heater that is well insulated as they are now coming from the factory.
Just an opinion
1.00Where can I get a water heater and installation with payment plans?
Q.We need a new water heater very soon as ours has started to leak. Locally they cost around $300, then there's the installation fees as well. Does anyone know of a place were we can purchase one and have it installed, and they take monthly payments, like a 12-month payment plan, etc? Obviously Home Depot and similar stores would probably offer that, but I'm talking about a contractor or other service provider that say, does repairs but also installs, etc. We live in Northeast Ohio.
A.Endurance, I'm sure some contractors do that--you just need to ask when seeking free estimates. In fact, sometimes the big department stores charge more--they put a premium on the price of the product and the installation contractor they refer to you as a third-party middleman, which you want to avoid.
Your best bet is to get an assessment from a local plumber in your area, who can visually see what's going on with your water heater. With that said, many local plumbing contractors are willing to provide free estimates with no obligation, and you should utilize this to answer your cost question.

1.00Unpaid balance?
Q.My father has requested me to repair two rental properties of his that were extensivly damaged inside & out. He has paid for 95% of Materials which is all good, However since i have completed the jobs one has been rented the other awaits to be occupied. he has paid me $1,100.00 for both rentals and there was never a set price. I was thinking another $1,000.00 would be a respectful amount for all the repairs, such as removing all left behind debri's, 100% Interior Painting, Sub Floor Patch work, Drywall, Plumbing fixture installation (Toilet), Vanitys, Vinyl Bath Floor covering(1), Water Heater installation(1), Electrical Fixture Installation (Several) and various Maintenance & other repairs. I asked him for a few hundred dollars & he said all the work is done and that he has allready paid me up to date. I am really upset with this and in my eyes another $1,000.00 is not unreasonable to say the least. what should i say or do, he is my father but..............???????
A.Even from relatives, get things in writing. Now learn by your mistake and don't let this happen again.
1.00Does Washtenaw Plumbing and Heating install tankless water heaters?
A.Yes, we specialize in tankless water heater installation, and are certified Renai installers. We are also the local Takagi installer.
1.00Can a licensed class 'b' general contractor legally do plumbing without a plumbing license?
A.I looked into this too and this is what I found.
Yes, you can do plumbing but you cant certify it. In other words, you can build the whole plumbing, but then you will need a licensed plumber to come over and check it out and do all the peperwork. For example, you cannot install a boiler of a furnace, only licensed people can do that, but you can set all the pipes that go from the furnace to the house.
If you have a freind and hes a licensed plumber, you are all set. Ask him if he would certify your work for some money in exchange. The whole job needs to be certified before home inspection comes.

Plumbing Installation
While most plumbing installation jobs are best left to professionals, there are a few simple tasks that you can undertake, provided you have high DIY skills, like installing a toilet. Make sure that you use pipes that are the right size, and take care to align the tubing into valves and fittings properly. First, use a putty knife to remove the old wax gasket. Set the floor flange in such a way that its underside is on level with the finished floor. Tighten the screws that connect the flange to the floor, and set in plumber's putty. Insert them through the flange, aligning them properly with the center of the drain pipe. Place the new wax gasket on the toilet horn located at the bottom of the toilet bowl, and use plumber's putty to seal. Now, lower the bowl into place using the bolts to guide the exact position over the flange. Press firmly, and give a little twist, so you feel the bowl being pressed into the wax ring. Level the bowl, and make sure it is aligned with the valve. Tighten washers and nuts by hand. Fit the rubber gasket on the opening of the flush valve at the bottom of the tank. Place the tank over the bowl, and tighten the washers and nuts. Seal the base with plumber's putty.
Improper toilet installation or any other kind of plumbing installation for that matter, can mean leaks in no time at all. It's therefore best to leave plumbing installation to the experts. A one time plumber's fee can offer you a professional plumbing installation that can give you years of trouble free service.

Niki T
I actually have three issues: 1) I need to replace a hot water heater - it is an older 40 gal tank and doesn't heat enough water for more than 1 shower, not sure if I need to replace with a newer unit and/or a larger unit. 2) I want to have a garbage disposal installed in my kitchen sink. and 3) Looking into having a gas line run to a grill outside. Thank you!
