Old galvanized pipes, chances are the shower valve maybe clogged when the lines were disrupted. You're going to have to take the shower valve apart and look for sediment.

Yep, great place to start ^^^^^

I'd leave the existing plumbing as long as there are no issues. But I would replace the tub drain/trap and pop up assembly while it's accessible.

Look on the aerator, handle and base of the faucet for a name. If not just replace it. https://www.homedepot.com/p/1-Handle-Cold-Water-Dispenser-in-Stainless-Steel-D203-NL-20/202551105

Both hot and cold don't work? I can see 1 gate valve going bad but 2? How old is the plumbing? Take a pic of the valve and post it.

Post a pic of the issue so we can get a better idea of what you are dealing with.

So I added 12 more 5" diameter soffit vents, removed all vent blocks I installed. Didn't help at all. Still getting up to 75F. Blew in about 10+" of cellulose insulation on Saturday. Sunday Temps were in the low 90's and all is good. :) Today is supposed to be a bit hotter but I'm confident this...

Update 95F and sunny today. Thermostat is staying at 72 all day. :) Think I'll block off the roof vents and leave the ridge vents alone and see what happens. Wifey just checked the attic temperature 112-116. Insulation is next going to blow in R38+

No and there are rafter baffles in place.

I have R30 but some areas could use some more which I'll be adding after the AC issue is resolved. R38 which should cover most of the flexible duct work helping with heat gain. The HVAC guy's said the delta T was not in the range in which they would like. It's close but could be better. They...

I agree. So what do I do? The existing vent system never functioned correctly. Do I add more vents? Or do I cover the existing roof vents and go with the power vent? Can I cover the existing roof vents with out causing other issues?

We had a new HVAC unit installed and during the hot Georgia summers the attic will get up to 116F where the AC unit is installed. The second floor below the unit will get up to 76F. The thermostat is set for 72F. Sq.ft of the attic is about 1300-1500 It has ridge vents, soffit vents and probably...

Yes, the new slop sink didn't have the vent connected. The bath above is vented thru the roof. No drainage issues.

I agree and think that this may be the case here.

The home is unoccupied at the moment, they are still moving in stuff and decorating. The laundry room where this all started is dry. From what I was told the house was gutted. No signs of moisture any where. I went by today and she keeps the laundry room door closed. Upon entering I smelled...

No gas at the home. The home is on a slab. From all the issues the home owners has had with the previous plumbers there's no telling what's what. But after I connected the vent I no longer smelled anything besides the off gassing of a new plastic slop sink. She agreed the odor was from the...

No toilets in the area of the smell, traps are wet. I will check the gas line. Thx

Yes. The homeowners told me they had one but it was removed afaik. It's now covered in concrete.

Recently got a call to a recently replumbed home. The first 2 plumber's were let go because of shoddy work. The homeowners were getting a foul odor in the basement and after a little searching I found a disconnect vent behind the wall. Problem solved so I thought. The homeowner was...
