low water flow to faucets

[@williamdyckman9704]

Steve, good video on diagnosing the problem. It is amazing the build up deposits in supply, just goes to show that they should be considered when this situation is presented.

[@vlmmnadet1304]

This is a great video, very helpful to us that didn't know what was and how to solve this problem.

[@GHE2005]

Ur sidekick is adorable.

[@J-Colt]

Thanks Steve!

[@hashtagjustadad5110]

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing.

[@1800rr]

Steve your a real Pro,and honest wish we had trades like yours in Florida bunch of hacks down here

[@wahbii]

Had a similar problem with hot and cold on a kitchen faucet but bad flow up top for both. Just had to soak the head in CLR.

[@barbarafreitas1522]

Wish you were in California, I need help like this in my old apartment building.

[@vaughn257]

I have a question could changing the cartridge in a tub handle effect water pressure?

[@aircooledtx]

Good video on faucets.Steven Lav.

[@Homepros888]

Did you advise her that the Pro-Vent is too low and it should be rise up. The kitchen is way too low and the bathroom could be higher as well. That look like type M pipe in the bathroom (red marking) usually red for M and blue for L

[@J-Colt]

Baby dog looking extra pretty today! Thanks Steve for adding closed captioning to your video's. Without it I miss a lot of what's being said. Occasionally I use headphones but between torches and diesel truck that can be scary!

[@veil67]

dear hard water , a water softner would help a lot to save the system of the house

[@tomm8025]

Just curious, any reason you didn't replace with quarter turn ball valves?

[@randy2812]

Hey the trucks back cool.

[@KoiTimeUSA]

Cholesterol? U mean minerals build up or chlorine build up? It was too tough to get the cartridge out so I gave up. I am afraid to get into another cartridge situation like when I replace the bathroom cartridge.. was a complete pain. I can handle a few drops

[@jg8644]

Hey Steve - great video! Quick business question for you though.... I’m assuming you simply got a call for low pressure on those fixtures, correct? I see that part of the service call is to troubleshoot and figure out exactly what needs to be done (replace the fixtures, supply lines, etc...). After you figure out it’s build up in the valve - do you stop and let the homeowner know what the problem is and give them the estimate for your work? I only ask because you have to cut into pipes for you to really narrow things down and your prices may be different based on what part(s) of the system needs fixing. Just wondering if you ever have a simple service call that ends in a very expensive fix that the homeowner wasn’t expecting and want to know when you estimate the cost for your services!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

my job is to fix the problem so i did and gave her the bill .total labor was 1 1/2 hours plus parts . she was happy with good water flow .

[@LexVance]

Another beauty Dr. Steve! The patient had a clogged artery.

[@larrybrown8833]

Great video! True pro!!

[@robertnocerajr3985]

What a pain in the neck... Incredible

[@Fireship1]

Those valves were crusty! Nice job Steve!

[@billtario7630]

man those deposits keep the plumbers in business,that was bad! but baby buns looking good

[@BibleExposition2022]

Use the quarter turn valve is much better isn't it? Thx

[@willythehero88]

After seeing this, I suppose that I, also, may need to replace my bathroom sink's shutoff valves. They certainly look corroded enough to be the originals. Plus the faucet is new. Btw, your dog is so well behaved. :-)

[@willythehero88]

Oh! The supply lines are, also, new.

[@Jilocasindragon]

Good to see you got the truck back, man. Is it done now?

[@scuba422123]

steve you should have sold her a water softener but I don't know how good they work or to maintain

[@armandomadrigal9793]

you dont like compression 1/4 turn angle stops?

[@jeremydewolfe8026]

Lol Steve! You are savage! I get the whole drain out her plumbing through the washer and faucets and crack a hot side union, but to flush her only sh*tter?!! Man if she had to be a leaker momma its got nowhere to go! Love ya work buddy:)

[@backwoods3214]

nice Steve .

[@chrisutah]

Great video. Thank you!

[@xandercage5792]

Is that from hard water?

[@jackthompson8179]

Who are the people that thumbs down steve's video , and why ???

[@Bob.W.]

Lot of crap in that water. City or well?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

city /town water

[@Bob.W.]

Thx.

[@hectorgill328]

Hello Steven, I'm a beginner so I use compression valves, are these reliable and would you use them? Great videos!

[@tomm8025]

Compression valves are reliable and very commonly used. Only issue with them is that over the years as the valves have to be replaced you often have to cut back the copper pipe as the ferules shouldn't be re-used and often leave scars on the soft copper. I personally have gone to sweating on a nipple and then screw on a new valve, That way in the future, you can just unscrew the old valve on screw on a new. Just my preference after remodeling several older homes.

[@mmar4281990]

So all you did to solve the problem was to remove and replace all the valves ?

[@chuckem]

How come you don’t use compression angle stops?

[@chuckem]

that's kinda crazy to be burning under a sink when there's alternatives. i get it though

[@chuckem]

everybody has their preference

[@Eddy63]

Babe The Diva strolling in the Lav -Mobile ... She's got it made ...Lol ... Another good 'en ...

[@dmmaddex]

another satisfied customer...

[@Rowdywtw]

Nice one you be back next year you burn the washers that’s what brings the $

[@kdmq]

Has the plumbing had a heart attack yet? Geez.

[@timhendley1950]

Only compression stops for me. Can’t stand soldering those things under a sink. I started using them over twenty years ago.

[@ravit6223]

damn these hard water deposits they slow the flow

[@g.n.6471]

What the heck are you driving my man?

[@lydiacartagena643]

How the dog doing steve

[@trashman1694]

Damn shutoff valves and flex lines. Gotta replace em more often than my girlfriends

[@el-hp1lj]

that build up is gross and to think water is running thru that makes me never want to drink tap again. What happens when you have to do this a few times over the years and run out of room on the copper pipe

[@peterskier7574]

Solder a new piece of pipe to extend it up.

[@fillg]

Can't you usually open up the kitchen faucet valves and replace stuff in there? I've had to put a new mixing valve/cartridge thing in mine before. I think it was like $20 and fixed a similar looking problem on mine.

[@MookieMan1]

fillg a lot of those faucets get clogged in the supply cross over which you will never get out.

[@robertcontegni1281]

Steve repair work on through the wall AC units

[@grandmastermomo]

FAUCET

[@thescott9742]

you guys have very hard water loaded with calcium and lime that is what plugs up lines

[@zpoppe]

I just attach a sonic hammer to the pipe, and cleans them out istantly

[@MikeTheBaller2009]

OMG what the heck is in that city's water supply? Disgusting!

[@chrischris850]

Next time she calls Sell her a wholehouse filter buddy!! Only 1-2 hundred bucks plus labor =less shit in system. Install right before h2o heater inlet!

[@RangerCaptain11A]

where's the cookin videos buddy?

[@3mt696]

Pop😢😢

[@christopherkidwell9817]

Ew... what in the world was that stuff in the pipe? Honestly that kind of crud should not be in the pipes if the water is not tainted in some fashion.
