This is bullshit. Somebody posts about a leaking faucet and boom, the bastard in upstairs bats has a leak. Its a Moen and about 30 years old. Hope they still make the damn part thing you shove in there.

They still make the same cartridge for moen. It takes a 1225b and a cartridge puller.

But seriously, that's what I'm talking about. Usually when someone does plumbing for some reason they buy the cheapest God damned shut off valves. And then shit like this happens. Most of the time you're better off not even putting them in.

You're pretty limited on what valves you can buy. The key is to turn them on and off occasionally to keep them working freely

After talking to insurance, which did nothing but piss me off.....raising rates 10-20% if I have the first claim...ever...wanted me to call in serve pro etc.....
I ripped up carpet, took out the pad and cut a couple of 2' sections of soaked drywall out and am blowing fans to try to prevent mold. This hasn't helped my mood today. |

When something similar happened to me, I said **** it and cut the sheetrock off 3 feet above the floor and moved some serious air down the hallway. I got busy and left it open for quite some time and never seen any mold start in any of the seams. Eventually just replaced it with old barn roofing steel and rough cut trim on the bottom and joint as it was connected to the mud room anyways. |

I realize we haven't cleaned our dryer vent for a few years. It's a vent that goes to the roof. What's my best bet for cleaning this?
