There is a pipe coming out from the water heater. This pipe has a valve, but it was not sealed. Water is dripping from that pipe once in a while. Is that a leakage? What should we do for that?

i know there is a lot of immaturity on here, but it could be a good forum for those of us that are real about it.

i'm a professional in the construction industry, and notice that nothing electroinc is really geared toward the industry.

this could even be beneficial to home owners that are having work done and aren't familiar with techniques, scopes and what things should cost.

I know I would ask and answer questions in this category.

What is the cost of owning a mobile home, aside from the purchase price. I have a piece of land I want to put a mobile home on but do they come with their own electricity and water? What are the costs of repair?

I had a leak in my garage ceiling and appears there was a little damage in it. The original leak has been fixed, but it appears the ceiling has a small hole in it. I believe it is a wallboard ceiling with rectangular shapes and I like to know how to patch it up.

I have 2 bathrooms, the toilet in the master bath backed up one day and wouldn't plunged away. it drained after a long time, but I started using the second bathroom toilet until help came. shortly there after the second toilet backed up too. roto-rooter came and pumped the septic. It worked for a while, but the first toilet still drained slow. Now the second one is backed up. Can I fix this without calling out another plumber?

The dryer is only 4 years old. model # 110.C60702990. Type cwsr-ele-2306024-fm54
As stated earlier, there was no gradual reduction of heating, just an abrupt failure.

When I plugged in a heating unit the circuit breaker flipped off. It will not stay on anymore; it keeps flipping back to off. I have tried to remove it, but couldn't. I'm assuming that the circuit breaker blew and needs to be replaced because says to only replace circuits with circuits made by the same company that made it. Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

I have a laundry drain from the back of my washer that is draining slowly and spilling on the floor. I was going to use Drano gel on it and Drano foamer, but a friend told me that her Dad is plumber and does not recommend using that type of thing because it may clear it to start with, but will congeal and form a new clog later on. Has anyone heard of this or anything else like it? Have you had success or failure with these products? Thanks!

Hi, I'm in the process of buying a new house and the survey stated that the artex ceilings in the house and garage may contain asbestos. I'm not too worried about the house ceilings as we plan to leave them undisturbed, but the survey reccommended re-covering the garage roof and adding roof void ventilation at the same time which would disturb the material. My builder said said it would be best to make sure it was actually asbestos first. If I find out that it is, any idea of a ball park figure of how much a licensed contractor would charge to remove it? (standard sized garage?)

Hooked up my washer in new home and connected hose to the drain which is at the bottom of the wall and from that up runs a 2" pvc pipe. Everything looked good and was until it went to drain and water shot out the pipe. Is it clogged or is there a valve that hasnt been opened?
