Basement flooding - water coming out of the ground beside pipe
From the best plumber Vancouver WA 98682
My kitchen sink has a dedicated drain pipe that goes down through the wall, under the basement floor, and then meets up with the main drain on the other side. Recently, water has started coming up from the ground next to this pipe in the basement where it meets the floor. I had a sewer line company come out and clean the line. He said there was black gunk, but no mud that might indicate dirt getting into the line. We ran the water for a while and nothing happened. Then, we dumped a bunch of water all at once and it happened again. As soon as the water comes in large quantities, it gushes up from below. Pictures Relevant background information:
The PVC pipe is going into a cast iron/rubber "boot" but the water is not coming out of the joint. It comes out of the dirt to the left of the pipe. There is an iron floor drain on the other side of the basement that has rotted out (I mention this as a general indicator of the age and quality of the plumbing) The house has shifted a substantial amount over the years but is currently stable (or so the engineer told me when I bought it) Edit: There are also fruit flies gathering which the sewer guy seemed to think was relevant.
Would it be a good idea for me to buy something like this endoscope and share the footage...

Bathroom Renovation Questions
From the best plumber Vancouver WA 98682
Hi! I've been sitting on a bathroom renovation for a few months and I think I'm about ready to either do it myself or start seriously calling around... I had some questions that I hope some folks here could help with? Let's assume I tackle this myself... I'm pretty confident in my DIY skills and pretty okay tearing things out, etc but where I really lose confidence is the actual tub replacement portion. I've done toilets and sinks a few times but never a full bathtub. Our bathtub is second level and I've heard horror stories. Am I crazy for wanting to do this myself? On average how many times do you get called out to fix a DIY tub replacement screw up? It looks pretty straight forward and our house was built in the late 80s so I don't think I'll have anything weird to deal with but what are some common pitfalls you see in this situation? If I wanted to move the shower head up the wall am I going to cry trying to do it? If you've read this far and have decided to talk me out of doing it myself(my husband thanks you), let's talk what I should look for in a plumber/what I need. I'm pretty broke, but do not mind paying for quality work but my budget for the entire bathroom is probably a quarter to a third* of what ReBath quoted me to redo only...

Help! Contractor lost handle to shower and disappeared. What kind of valve is this? It spins counterclockwise and is cold at first and then hot when it's all the way turned.

Toilet Valve Size
From the best plumber Vancouver WA 98682
I've got a shut-off valve on a water pipe for a toilet in my basement bathroom, probably installed in the 1970's, that is too big for a 3/8" line and is too small for a 1/2" line. Did there used to be a size in between those two that was a standard? I'm guessing I'll just have to replace the shut-off valve but wondered if anybody would have a suggestion for my best path forward. Thanks!

Limited Hot Water
From the best plumber Vancouver WA 98682
Our water heater would have no hot water every morning. But after running the hot water (hot tap) for a few minutes, shutting it off and waiting, the water would re heat and be fine all day. Almost like you had to wake it up. I ultimately replaced the water heater and now about a year later we are having nearly the same issue. While we never wake up to cold water it seems sometimes we have barely enough hot water start a shower and it runs out. But again, we shut it off wait a bit now it seems like we have plenty of hot water. Just seems odd to have a similar issue twice on two different water heaters. Is this just bad luck? Or something else.

cistern-fed pressure tank set-up (please critique)
From the best plumber Vancouver WA 98682
hey guys, new here and definitely not a plumber. so i have a cistern feeding my house, which is going through a pressure booster. the water is coming down hill and is at 18psi at the house before going through the pump. i'm getting rid of the pressure booster and opting to go with a pressure tank and above-ground jet pump. so in sequence, i've got the following so far:
cistern (river water) > house @ 18psi 1/2 hp, 30/50 psi above-ground jet pump spin down sediment filter (50 micron) tank tee at 32 gal. pressure tank (w/ pressure gauge, bib, pressure release valve, check valve) GE particulate filter (reusing) pressure regulator direct to fixtures/RO system/tankless water heater
does this seem correct? am i going to have enough pressure to the faucet/toilet/shower on the second floor? i'm piecing together parts online, and i want to confirm i have all the right pieces to this puzzle. also... reason why they don't sell jet pumps that go higher than 50 psi?

Electric tankless water heater
From the best plumber Vancouver WA 98682
Hey guys, so has anyone had any luck installing an electric on demand water heater supplying more tha a lav. A builder I work with wants to use one on a little 1 bath apartment. Kitchen sink, shower, lav. I've never tried that many fixtures and am a bit skeptical, but who knows, what do I know, I'm just a plumber.
