Tub stoppage today. I pulled off the waste and overflow to access and noticed no plunger on the linkage. I asked the homeowner for a wire coat hanger. I put a bend on the end of it, stuck it down the w/o and plucked the plunger out. Drains great now.

As for lav pop ups. No need for for a seal on top because if it goes through the overflow part catches it. It's underneath the sink that matters. I still put silicone on top and below. I don't want call backs.

If you don’t seal the top then the water will leak through when someone uses the pop-up plunger to fill the sink, it won’t hold water.

No need to seal the top on a lav grid strainer.

We used to have to use Pix re-sizer to upload photos here at PZ. But something changed and you can just up-load pictures without having to re-size them. I used to be able to rotate the pictures on my PC and then upload them here, but I can't figure it out. I'll have to go back to using my digital camera, I never had a problem with that. For some reasong I-phone pictures get screwed up.

Take pictures with your iPhone horizontal not vertical and they will upload normal.

I needed to stop water from draining in the wall while I was changing the cartridge

I was trying to pull these Moen cartridges straight up and out with channel locks and they wouldn’t budge. Went out to the van and came up with this idea. They came out in 2 seconds each.

I was attempting to clear a Lav sink stoppage with the SuperVee. First I went through the pop up and could hear the cable going up the vent rattling in the wall. I pulled the trap and tried again, it kept going up. Tried forward, reverse, bent cable, and it kept going up. Hard blockage right at the throat of the santee not allowing the cable to go down. I cut a piece of PVC and jammed it in the trap arm to the back of the santee and ran the cable through it. It’s only choice was to go down. Success!

Customer asked me if I can clean her dryer vent. No problem, I turned the SuperVee into the dryer vent cleaner 1000. I taped a rag to the cable and shot it through with my shop vac on the other side.
