Ah, no. I posted original pics prior to plumbing work to demonstrate the exclusivity of rusting only on joint pieces both horizontal and vertical. Ergo, it doesn't seem to be from a leak.

Almost all of it was replaced by the plumber with PVC except for this one joint (oulined in red). As it is a vent stack. not sure if I should worry about it. Wrap it or coat it in something? So what happened to cause those old joints to go all rusty? Thank you for your help.

I am working on a circa 1941 home and the demolition of a bathroom revealed rust only at the joint pieces. The vent pipe has a small leak coming from the roof (can see light streaks on the pipe). I would assume that maybe the rust is from the leak pooling around the horizontal surfaces of the...

Thank you Breplum. The pros I hired for this job installed some of the copper lines at or above the subfloor. They also installed some lines that block the cleanout valves of the hot water heater that THEY also installed. And they aren't responding to my calls to rectify the work so I think I...

This is a project in Maryland, not NYC. I just had Geberit carrier for 2x6 wall installed where it centered nearly over the joist. The plumbers offset the drain to avoid both the joist and the supply line for a bidet seat. I am considering swapping out the 2x6 for a 2x4 Geberit model. (Once I...

Thank you. The property is not in NY.

I know this thread is old but here to chime in for people researching this issue. My office put these in 4 bathrooms so the WCs saw plenty of use all working day for years. Never had a maintenance issue. Walls always looked good. I put one in my daughter's bathroom. Never had a maintenance...

Thank you everyone. That segment of the soil stack was replaced with PVC. The plumber also did a colonoscopy of the soil line out to the municipal connection and all looked pretty good. The plumber did warn me beforehand that cutting out the old cast iron might jiggle the entire system around...

The house is a little over 80 years old. I have a spliced image of the riser below (sorry, I couldn't get the camera back far enough to take it all in, and the flash created a haze over the image). The pic shows the first floor where the cast iron soil stack has a long vertical crack running...

Help with my Plan A - supply Toto Washlet from sink cold water supply. Was going to use GenieBidet's 3/8 x 3/8 x 1/2 T connector. I'm reading that the Washlet inlet hose's 1/2" O-ring contraption inside the compression nut (is that what it's called?) is proprietary to Toto. This O-ring will...

After studying Geberit's unappealing images of various shut-off installs, I've decided to go back to Plan A and supply the washlet from the sink next to the toilet. The shroud beneath the sink will hide the fittings. All one will see is a white tube mysteriously disappear behind the shroud...

Okaay - Just spoke with Geberit and they said this setup would need a Bidet Seat Kit. Part numbers 249.801.00.1 and 243.173.00.1 (hoses and shutoffs). They also pdf'd 2 instruction files for the install. I would have uploaded them but this site says they are too big. If anybody is wondering...

Hi Folks, Searches (google and here) haven't yielded definitive answers to my topic question above. I have a Geberit carrier 111.798.00.1 with a Toto Aquia wall hung attached to it. I'd like to add a Toto Washlet. From what I've read and what I see in my old construction pics and the Geberit...

Ugh, sorry about the divided reply - hit the wrong button. Fix attempt 3 cont.) Only siliconing the crack on the plumbing wall; will leave the hairline cracks on the other walls because those walls don't get so much water splash. Water that migrates behind the walls still needs a way to...

My daughter's 1 year old bathtub just sprouted a similar problem but I am catching it before it causes too much damage. I have an Aqualux glass tub/shower door fixed to the wall instead of a shower curtain. Glass edges are siliconed to tile wall and acrylic tub lip. The bathtub is a Kohler...
