Ya forgot SPIDERS! I can deal with the rest, but the spiders make me hurt myself. Of course there may not be any spiders in that part of Oregon this time of year. I've banged many an elbow slapping at the back of my neck while schooching around in my crawlspace. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Well, I saw rat droppings, but I am not about to mention that to the wife. A raccoon or something of that size must have been under there at one point, but that scat could be 10,20 years old.

Mold? Of COURSE! This is Western Oregon! We have moss covered trees. Like an idiot I went under there sans respirator and was coughing and sneezing off and on for a few hours. I am an idiot for that. The guy I paid to fix the rats nest of electrical under the house didn't wear one. I figure he has either built up some sort of superhuman immunity, or is chipping years off his life doing it.


I'm still formulating the game plan. If possible, I want to intercept the laundry room plumbing, and make the trunk of it the supply line for the rest of the house. I can get my hands on 1" PEX pretty easily, and can run it down to the other end. I wish I had a crossbow I could us batman style to get a string from one end of under the house to the other because that crawlspace is pretty tight.

Ugh, that is an ugly setup.

If I were you I would cap off the connection that is before the manifold, and reattach it on the section that is in with the pressure tank. ( I am sure I am restating the obvious there, sorry about that )

If the two sides are connected via some other loop somehow that would also explain the pressure spikes, I think.
