What is involved in replacing leaking iron drain pipes in a house with a concrete foundation? You might not necessarily have cast iron sewer pipes. So called orangeburg pipe was quite common during 60s. That pipe is pretty much cardboard and will be in a bad shape after 50 years |

How should I connect conduit in the wall to conduit on the ceiling? You can have a 90 degree fitting from vertical to horizontal and then an offset to reach to the joist level. |

Is it feasible to cover low-pile carpet with a 1/4" subfloor and vinyl tile in a kitchen? I would be concerned with stuff seeping trough the vinyl flooring to the carpet which would become wet and a breeding ground for molds and other nasty things. Especially since it is in a kitchen, where spills are more likely. I also prefer real, time proven materials for my rental units. I.e hardwood/ceramic tile vs crap like laminate/ vinyl/carpet. |

Why does the water pressure in my boiler go up so high? I don't know much about plumbing in uk, but the main reasons for high pressure are either faulty expansion tank or pressure reducing valve. |

How to remove old vinyl tiles? Some older materials are just impossible to natch with today's materials at a reasonable price. I.e heart pine flooring. |

If professionals mount my TV, is it their job to hide the wires? I doubt there's any kind of standard of TV mounting. The only way to find out if this particular service includes hiding wires is to call the store and ask. I'm 99% sure that for $250 you just get someone to come and hang the TV for you. Running wires trough the wall and installing an extra recessed outlet would probably set you back much more |

Is it legal to just replace an existing extractor fan in a shower room with a similar model? I assume this is in UK? Based on pull- cord fan |

Why isn't water running through our radiators? Regardless of the problem, it seems as if things were working before the plumber came and stopped after his visit. So he should be held liable. If he refuses then have another plumber fix the issue and take the first plumber to court. |

What does the low limit do, and where should it be set on an oil fired hot water furnace? Strong chance that the gauge is wrong or completely broken |

How long does radiant heat in a concrete floor last? Unless its in a mostly warm climate, which doesn't require much heating, Installing new pex radiant piping would be comparable in cost to forced air but will provide much more comfortable heat. |

Should I remove vinyl flooring before laying down hardwood? I wouldn't call it a huge health risk. But leaving asbestos be is a good idea. |
