DrBouvenstein posted:Well the blue is this big vertical pipe here, and at the top it DOES go out towards the street: Sewer is unpressurized and only can flow downhill unless you have a grinder pump (and you'd know if you had one of those). I suspect that vertical pipe is the house trap vent/air-inlet:  Check on the outside wall of your house for a pipe that ends with an elbow pointed downwards. It might be tight at the ground level. This or similar is probably what's going on below the floor:

Yep. Call a plumber and have the clear the line to the street. Probably want them to scope it after to see if the line is hosed.

They wouldn't be the ones picking up the mold remediation bill. There's also a huge value in being able to schedule the replacement versus it happening at 7 PM on Friday a holiday weekend that you were planning to travel on (or worse an hour after you left for a long weekend).

Nitrox posted:There is an o-ring, a rubber bushing and a brass seat in the rebuild kit. It would take less than 10 minutes to rebuild all three valves, assuming they're not corroded to death. Use silicone grease to make your next rebuild a little easier. And there is no reason not to do it sooner, before things get worse.  Look what you did  Joking aside it doesn't matter though as the knobs are absolutely fused to the spindle of the valve. I was able to back the escutcheon off enough to get a wrench on the valve cartridge. The source of the leak was the packing bushing, but the rubber that seals against the seat is pretty badly degraded:  Seats look decent enough but there might be some slight pitting:  I tightened up the packing nut which stopped the leaking, but I'm going to keep replacement cartridges and seats on hand until I get some replacement knobs/screws and can redo the whole thing.

If you paid for a scope (or they include the scope as part of other work) then they give you the goddamn video. That's the deliverable of the scope. Light them up on google reviews for failing to give you what they paid for if they don't.

If you replace the unit I highly recommend the Insinkerator evolution pro or evolution excel series. They are astonishingly quiet.
