Solving a Spitting Faucet Mystery:
Richard used a ball valve with the handle removed as a flow restrictor, which can be found at home centers and plumbing supply stores.
Richard recommends that homeowners test their water for radon. Those kits can be purchased at home centers and have easy-to-follow instructions.
How to Paint a Room Like a Pro
All the painting supplies Mauro used on this project, including the brushes, rollers, drop cloths, and paint additive, can all be found at home centers and paint supply stores.
Mauro demonstrated Masking Liquid H20, a water-based clear coating that can mask window panes when painting a window. It is manufactured by Associated Paint Inc.

“Let me just pull out my Radon Mitigation Device I usually keep in the backseat of my truck.”
I reckon he knew he was going to do a radon separator demo for the homeowner, because he read the script.
Well done the program researchers who found a home which had one and the props dept for getting on on set!!!
All Richard had to do was drop it in place for the start of the scene 😁.
All joking aside that was quite interesting as never seen one before ... nor anything like the plumbing involved from a well source.
Have to say tho' the pipe section which got modified did seem a bit "hanging in the air".
Perhaps a tray doofer support thingy might have been useful?
Aloha
Hi kevin o conor
One reason I love Mauro's segments on the show is that he never takes any nonsense from the homeowners 😂
"We wanted eggshell or matte"
"Here's why you're wrong and we're going to use semi-gloss"
Very happy to see that the fix was just the cost of a ball valve!
Water looks like milk
Richard: looks pretty normal
That's just air bubbles in the water....
you would think of water regulating diaphragm would be implemented
Its not like milk the background is white
The fact that the water was white and that was “normal”
We saw it spit right after, so I'd think it was dissolved air.
THEY'RE MINERALS MARIE
The water is full of small bubbles.... It looks white because of the reflect light, if you pour it into a glass, the bubbles will dissipate....
All he had to do was buy a front loaded HE washer which uses 2 gallons of water instead of 25 gallons.
@DC or simply send his laundry to Widow Twankey. The way pantos are being cancelled over here she could do with the cash.
TOH saving lives 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Boy he's smart!
I like the tip f using the putty knife when painting. Gonna use it for now on.
@@Kevin-mp5of Quite a lot of folks never heard of it.
We always just painted and unstuck any windows after it dryed. Next time we repaint. I will give this a try. Very interesting.
@@Kevin-mp5of Never heard or seen this done tell this video.
@@Kevin-mp5of LOL, you assume there are home centers everywhere? lol. But keep jabbering, your assume your the only one who knows everything.
@@Kevin-mp5of your a troll, move on
That segment by Mauro, as someone who does Architectural CAD Modelling and Rendering, is going to save me a lot of time that I normally spend fussing about sheens. It is Invaluable.
The fact that they still showed up to pain, despite her being sick is surprising lol
these were probably recorded in 2019 or 2018
If I got radon in my tap water, I'll just move. Sorry not messing around with radon
The poison is in the dose. At a high enough dose, even water is poisonous.
There's a lot of radon in the granite under Cornwall ... funny lot down in Cornwall ... I used to live in Cornwall ... oh f f f f u ...
@@Kevin-mp5of Not quite, corn beef is sentient.
Which is why I was asked to leave ...
No issues keeping things clean with satin for the trim. I guess I would do semi gloss with little kids though.
love this old house
Like the use of the putty knife on the windows to prevent them from sticking
Me to
@@Kevin-mp5of Look the troll is speaking lol
somehow all those sharkbite fittings screams non-professional installation.
Seriously could they have used any more of them?
My guess is they're a sponsor
Water boy is gonna have more problems in the future due to the complexity of that system. Just my opinion. Best of luck water boy! 💦
Yeah, completely agree, and with how neglected that sediment filter was I want to assume he's not keeping on the massive amount of maintenance that his system requires.
I see that you painted the baseboard heater! How about a segment on what types of paint you can use on a forced hot water baseboard????? I have some in the bathrooms that looks rusted and ugly. I thought you have to replace or find a heat proof paint.
Who cares about fumes? It is television
Metal paint.
@8:20 top load washing machine 25 gal of water? WTF gotta get rid of granny's washing machine.
Where do I pick up a bottle of that liquid mask? I am repainting my room here soon and that will come in real handy.
There's a link in the description as well. 👍
@@grahamefreestone5309 Really😆
Can confirm with 70 a gal. Wow
@@Kevin-mp5of I’m going to steal my kids elmers and try it. Haha
How hard would it be to remove the thermostat before you paint the wall???
I believe he could have use a cookie cutter, non fluted, and psiny d around that.
Rehmovin dah termahstat beforrh paihntin isa cohmplehlehy dihfferent vihdja
Agreed - It takes no time to take it off and looks much better.
I always hated a spitter
Not a big fan of that fix for the water supply, "oh you just make the restriction greater" but how will you know to make it greater? AFTER your sink spits water all over the floor? At which instead of turning the valve you maybe investigate which filter needs to be cleaned... I mean that one sediment filter looked absolutely nasty almost a coffee color to which Richard changed and left all the floating bits in there "Come on Richard, empty all that water!" . Seems to me a better solution would be some feed back mechanism, like maybe an always open solenoid valve with a float switch such that if the water level is too low it doesn't allow any water to pull.
I dunno, I have city water, with no radon and it never looks milky white as "normal"
It's the quick close valve at the washing machine causing water hammer.
All they need is a hammer arrestor.
Except it's clearly air in the system and you have no idea what you're talking about. Yeah water hammer is definitely a thing with a solenoid valve, but that's not what's happening here.
Why would you use a ball valve as an adjustable flow restricter? I would think a gate valve or an actual metering valve would be a better choice.
Agreed. Ball valves are not meant to be partially on or off, it will damage them over time.
ball valves are cheap
Aren’t the cables running horizontally a code violation? A child can climb on those and go over the railing.
Great video today for nerds !!
😎
How long does that windows thing take to dry? How much does it cost?
It's cheaper to just use painters tape.
Painters tape might well be cheaper but suspect this was just a way of showcasing another product.
If time is money then you would save on the application time and possibly the stripping it off time.
And, if you're a contractor, then you'd charge that to the customer under "consumables", in the same way as the paint and that paint additive stuff, and possibly the single use paint tape used on the dust sheet or whatever you call it on your side.
Painters tape can let some paint under it, especially if it isn't applied correctly. This seems like a much easier solution.
@18:30 what additive?
might as well just use municipal water lol
The paint was from home depot. The sticker on the top of the can indicated. Then the label was removed. "No free ad's" Behr is garbage anyway. The real deal is that liquid masker.
Poor guy, Richard put in all that plumbing, when all he had to do was closed down the tap on the water supply to the washing machine. That also reduces the amount of water hammer every time the solenoid valves in the washing machine cut off flow.
Water hammer and air in the lines is a real pain. I find myself shutting off the main and opening all the faucets to burp the system which does work for about 6-7 months but it eventually comes back and I have a tankless water heater.
But ask yourself, how else could they have crowbarred in that product from radon eliminator company?
Producers had probably twigged Richard couldn't use any Festool kit so came up with this.
Suspect Richard et al get to go on the after dinner speaker circuit so would need to come out with annecdotal stuff. He could only talk so long about life in "TV plumber land" and how long he spends in "make-up" ... he certainly doesn't spend in much time in "wigs".
There could be other fixtures, either alone or combined, that draw as much or more water as the washing machine.
@@n9wox And if you've got a an entire coven of teenage daughters it's a wonder to me the entire US hasn't subsided into what was an aquifer.
Sons are alright as they don't wash on the very reasonable grounds water is a poison, especially if there's a molecule of soap in it.
Until they get discover comparitive anatomy for real that is ... with plenty of nocturnal field trips ...
And if you're on the municipal mains supply I gather there's always the plea of bankruptcy.
Those steps likes like a trip hazard.
Yes they are lubricated with hallucinogenic agents in the psychotropic drugs department.
Years ago all wire ropes were lubricated with LSD.
Everyone knows that.
Good spot!
Omg! her cut line
"I'm coming behind you with my 9 incher''
1:25. I had a girlfriend that could do that !!!
Ah spittah? Hopefuhhly she's ahn ehx gihlfrehnd. 🦞🦞
I ...err ... um ... don't suppose you still have her number? Asking for for a friend, obviously.
I thought ball valves are supposed to be operated fully opened or fully closed?
They are, a seat/globe valve is the one he should have used.
Still a poor solution; The owner shouldn't need to tinker with it, a self balancing system would have been better.
I watched this same episode 3 times or more I really want to write to them to get my house fixed the front of the house has been water damaged due to no gutters and the water seeking underneath the vinyl siding and rotting the wood underneath my houses interior was filmed in the Spike Lee movie Chiraq.
I really want you to learn what punctuation is.
There was a valve,why you add another valve after valve?
Why yes ... to isolate another valve downstream.
Thought everyone knew that.
Painting right on top of paint?
Shouldn't it have been giving a little sanding first on the trim?
And no primer?
Depends on the condition of the paint.
Mauro's really not that great, but the rubes here seem to like him.
Get rid of the well frankenwater and buy a 1000gallon water tank and have water delivered by the truck load
So much for well water. I’d dump it in a splash and go to municipal water
His treatment setup clearly sucks, and he is in an area where the water doesn't appear to be particularly good, especially if radon levels are that high in the water. lol Even the air quality in his basement must be bad.
The stair handrail and cables would not need to be modified and brought up to code if they were installed before the date that particular requirement in the code became effective. The condition would be "Grandfathered" in, assuming it didn't violate the code when installed. Otherwise every house that was built 80 or 100 years ago would need massive upgrades whenever the house is sold. At least that's how it works in my area, it may be different where this is taking place.
While you are correct, still an important consideration to take if you got kids.
All those sharkbites... Yikes
What’s up with all the shark bites
I’ll use them in a pinch but not if I can help it
I use them all the time. Never had any issues.
@@Lawlesshomeimprovement Pinch pinch 🦞🦞
Baking ads into the video itself? Ugh, no thanks.
Yikes too dumb to use ublock origin or on mobile
How much money did they spend on shark bites? Could have bought a battery powered pex expander. Holy leaks coming in the near future
T.o.h. How much work did u do yourself
Cus. All I could..
Aka. Not a darn thing I might have broke a nail... lol
I think they did the plumbing themselves. It was all PEX and sharkbite fittings. A professional would've used solder connections.
First Richard said that the Radon mitigation tank had incredible force then a few seconds later he said that this tank didn't have any pressure. ???????
the force was in the form of air pushing up through the water, not down onto the water. The water flows out the white downspout into an un-pressurized chamber which then feeds into the second pump. The force applied had no effect on the water in the reservoir, it was all blasting through the water flowing down to it.
@13:33 I get that that stairway has to be up to code. But I'm guessing the reason why that those stairs are like that. Is because the last owners were either little people as in LP type. Due to fact that most lp type people require things like the hand rail to be that low who knows. Thats my kind of guess so don't tell me that im wrong. I can careless for your opinion to correct mine.
You could well be right. However from an aesthetic point of view it looked ... like it could be improved upon.
If you don't mind me saying ...
I was thinking the same thing when watching this. Some peoples needs go beyond codes.
@@Kevin-mp5of So from reading all your comments threw out this thread. You shown yourself to be a troll
if my kid is dumb enough to choke to death on stairs, i don't want him.

Who is Ray and Don ......lol
@@brianglade848 LMFAOOOOOO 🤣
That woman looks and sounds sick
FIFTH
@@brianglade848um what??
Can’t believe Richard is using shark bites. Should have torn the whole lot out and re done it
Not heard the "shark bite" term before.
However the plastic push fit fittings work ok. Never had a fitting fail myself but if there are scratches in the pipes then that can be a problem if too deep for the "o" ring to seal.
@@Kevin-mp5of It has you know ... I can't be arsed to Google it, let alone argue the point ...
@@Kevin-mp5of Oh bother! Now I have read all the comments to get the caretahker reference ... then translate the humour to "UK Standard" to get the gist.
Grr. I'll do it in the morning, I'm having an early night.
@@Kevin-mp5of Yes, although we would spell it "bollocks". Or "bollox".
Preceded, generally, by a verb or adverb. Or can a be a "standalone" (but repeatable) expletive.
In the grand scale of things this term is midway in the spectrum.
