Had to go out on a call today because of a toilet that moves. Got there and found the PVC flange was broke, so I fixed it, installed the toilet. Turn the water on and the tank filled and started overflowing. So with the HO standing there I reach in and adjust the fill valve float. She said that the carpenter who was working on her house installed the toilet and said thats what they are supposed to do. I asked her how long ago he installed it and she said about 6 months ago! I told her no, thats not what they are supposed to do. She had said her other 2 were doing the same thing. Upon examining the others, they too needed adjustment. She then told me that she had to turn the water heater up wide open so the water on the second floor shower would be hot. She said a "plumber" told her that the water was not getting hot upstairs because it had so far to travel. A quick adjustment and the temp was fine! Amazing! That just goes to show that carpenters are not plumbers, and a plumbing company wont always send out a plumber:blink:
