About Anthony - The Plumber
Expertise

I can answer most questions in the field of plumbing home repair for the inside or outside property of a home including irrigation systems, septic systems, well water systems, recirculation systems and I can address these questions from a beginning plumbing standpoint or for someone who has more advanced skills.

Are you working on an addition or remodelling? Need some bathroom or kitchen design ideas?

Run your questions by me since I enjoy that challenge of remodelling & new construction projects.

Experience
I have worked on a variety of major projects including Home Depot as an outsourced Project Manager tasked to repair the fire system at the Fullerton/Placentia store and distribution center in Orange County. I believe in simplifying any task I am assigned in order to avoid wasting time and material, while I always look for the simplest solution possible to the issue and then I execute my plan. Having lead many construction crews, large and small, I have been involved in residential and commercial repair and remodel projects including medical facilities, new home construction, high rises and apartment complexes. Building maintenance work in condominium complexes from Playa del Rey to Beverly Hills to the Hollywood Hills are a speciality. I have completed many maintenance work projects at complexes great and small.

Plumbing in the Home - drain for humidifier

Expert: Anthony - The Plumber - 11/5/2009

Question
I just had a new furnace installed with a humidifier. They taped into a pvd pipe attached to my kitchen sink to drain. It is so loud that it has to be moved.

They want to do the following.

remove the drain from the exzisting location and just patch the pvc pipe ( is that ok)

Install the new drain in a much larger bathroom sewer pipe ( is that ok)

thanks

Answer
Sean,

Yes, both solutions are okay providing they repair the pvc pipe
properly and tie into a bathroom sink drain using a wye branch tailpiece.

Let me know what you find out.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Anthony
