Q: How do you adjust the mixing valve on a shower?

• <div><p>You can adjust the mixing valve on your shower if it uses a single handle to control both hot and cold water by removing the handle and adjusting the cap on the mixing valve. The cap fits over the valve handle and creates a low and high point for your handle to spin. Remove the cap and turn it to adjust how it mixes hot and cold water, and then replace the cap and reinstall the handle.</p></div>

Q: How far away can a vent pipe be from the toilet?

• <div><p>According to the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), the distance between your trap and the vent should be no more than 6 feet. For your vent to work properly, it needs to feed into the drain line within 6 feet of trapways that connect to it. Using this formula, you should be able to determine whether you will need multiple vent lines.</p></div>

Q: What happens if a toilet flange is broken?

• <div><p>A broken flange could lead to serious issues. When a flange breaks, the toilet is no longer secured to the subfloor, which leads to constant rocking when in use. Over time, this breaks the wax seal between the toilet and flange and causes leaking throughout the substrate, bathroom floor, and ceilings below the bathroom.</p></div>

Q: Why is my outside spigot not working?

• <div><p>When water stops flowing from your outdoor spigot, always begin by making sure it's been opened for the season. Winterized hose bibs need to be turned back on from the indoor water source in the spring. Other culprits when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-get-your-outdoor-spigot-flowing.htm">fixing an outdoor water spigot</a> include:</p><ul><li><p>Debris blocking the pipe</p></li><li><p>Broken washer</p></li><li><p>Loose and leaking packing nut</p></li><li><p>Issues with your home's water supply</p></li></ul><p>Call a local plumber if you are not able to find the issue by opening the water valve or checking the washer and packing nut. There could be a problem further up the pipe that needs attention.</p></div>

Q: Is it against code to not have weep holes?

• <div><p>Yes, because any trapped moisture can have a negative impact on the integrity of the wall or fa&ccedil;ade of the building. Per the <a href="https://codes.iccsafe.org/s/IRC2015/chapter-7-wall-covering/IRC2015-Pt03-Ch07-SecR703.8.6">2015 International Residential Code and Commentary</a>: &ldquo;Weepholes shall be provided in the outside wythe of masonry walls at a maximum spacing of 33 inches (838 mm) on center. Weepholes shall be not less than 3/16 inch (5 mm) in diameter. Weepholes shall be located immediately above the flashing.&rdquo;</p></div>
