    Thank you Mr Lavimoniere you have saved a ton of money i was ready to buy a new faucet because my kitchen faucet which is a Delta was barely running.I watched your video and did the same thing under my sink with the supply lines sure enough there was rust on the hot water side the cold was ok. The faucet is 12 years old and I really don't want to replace it right now, I suppose in time I will have to but not now

    This video just helped me with my low water pressure in my kitchen faucet. We've had the problem for years and just doing your last step of taking the pressure valve out from the faucet did the trick.

    I'm losing water pressure and I live in an apartment. My sink backed up a few months ago. I believe it's because my upstairs neighbor runs his dishwasher about 3-4 times a week and his crap comes down to my sink. I called the complex's maintenance and no one ever showed. Since they never showed I can only imagine them not showing up for this issue as well.

    This video would have helped me a lot, because this is where I think my problem is. I wish you had talked to the viewer instead of the person in the house. I would have liked to know each step as you did it, so that I could follow those steps on my own. I couldn't see the action end of the tool that you used to disconnect the plugged hose. It would have helped to know what it is. Just visuals without an explanation don't help too much.

      should have disconnected the line from the faucet then test the water flow. If low flow, we know, it's not the faucet, but from the line back. Then remove the line, and check the shut off valve, to see if the problem is from the shutoff valve back.

    My mom does the same kinda thing, she thinks she knows it's the faucet and he's saying it's alright. Who's the professional? She should let the guy do his thing, don't chit chat, and wait to see what he says when he's done.
    Don't tell him how much money you have at home or in the bank. Or talk on the phone like that to her friend, while a stranger is listening.
    You should try to conduct yourself in a professional manner because you are doing business.

    This "Hack" did not fix anything.... he removed a part of the sink and said he fixed it. for probably $200.00 or more. Yeah, it's "a little better" He did a magic act and as little as possible and then he sells it as a "repair" He is not a reputable repairman.

    • @thrillbill1999
      @thrillbill1999 4 роки тому

      Did he remove a part of the sink? No. He removed a part of the faucet. That lady was broke. He was trying to do her a favor. New faucets are going for $200 now for one that's not even anything special, and of course that doesn't include the labor. The hot water pressure was greatly improved when he replaced the supply line. I probably would have looked at the cartridges too because they can also collect sediment, but I think the customer's complaint was resolved. I don't think you should call the man a hack when you don't even know the difference between a sink and a faucet.
