    Can't turn off water to replace kitchen faucet

    Hi all, Here's a close-up of that ball valve. Do any of you know what kind of ball-valve it is? I'm now just trying to learn more about how this particular ball-valve works: Thanks :)

    Can't turn off water to replace kitchen faucet

    I can't turn off the valve on the water heater either. I attached a photo of the valve. I can't budge it.

    Can't turn off water to replace kitchen faucet

    The water heater is electric. It's on the same floor - it's in a closet just off the patio.

    Can't turn off water to replace kitchen faucet

    Hi, yes I did turn the valves all the way to the left, and that didn't work either. Ok, I found the lever that turns off the water, by the hot water heater. Can I just turn it off, or do I have to worry about turning the water heater off too? I'm thinking not, since obviously there won't be...

    Can't turn off water to replace kitchen faucet

    Hi all, I have the normal deal under the kitchen sink with two valves to turn, to turn off the water. I turned both slowly and carefully to the right, all the way, and did not force them. The water doesn't turn off. I really hope I don't have to go turn the water off outside, because it...

    Ac leaking water badly

    It is not window mounted. It's installed in the wall near the dining room area - adjacent to a bathroom. The management does not take care of that. I guess I will try to do a search on finding the drain line in a condo....

    Ac leaking water badly

    Right now the humidity is only 8%, but it started as soon as the heat hit. I looked at some instructions for unclogging the line, but it requires a wet-dry vac, which I don't have. Also, I have a condominium not a house, and don't know where to look for the drain line. I sure can't see it...

    Ac leaking water badly

    It's seeping through the walls and out onto the floor. I'm having to put towels down on the floor in the pantry, and basically all around the walls enclosing the AC unit. I put towels on the floor inside the cabinet, found a drip coming from the unit itself and put a bucket under it, but I'm...

    Trying to figure out where dead animal smell is coming from.

    Well, if I pour bleach and also keep the water running a little, that does seem to control the smell much better. Thanks everyone.

    Trying to figure out where dead animal smell is coming from.

    Wuzzat, how would I force hot water under pressure down the drain? What is high GPM? Sorry, I'm not very knowledgable about home repair. Neal, so it sounds like something is blocking the vent? What is the trap? Thanks!

    Trying to figure out where dead animal smell is coming from.

    Hi all, The dead animal smell seems to be situated under the sink in the bathroom, as near as I can tell. The thing is, running water dissipates the smell within minutes, and it stays dissipated for many hours. After everyone showers in the morning, it's gone, but the smell slowly starts to...
