James: Thank you for contacting Porch. This sounds like you have a lift station, and the high liquid alarm is sounding. This indicates a problem with the pump(s) or switch or another component. Best action is to contact a plumber or septic contractor immediately for repairs as these systems can be complicated and complete failure can result in backup of sewer.

Lake Stevens: Thank you for contacting Porch. The longevity of carpet depends on many items, including quality and if it has been regularly cleaned.

Tiffany: Thank you for contacting Porch. When installing vinyl on concrete it is a good idea to use a bonding primer first. A professional vinyl floor installer would generally use a weighted roller at seams. You might try placing something heavy on the offending areas for 24 hours and see if that helps. If not, it may be time to contact a professional flooring contractor.

Thank you for contacting Porch. First, if your system is 30+ years old you might consider replacement as newer technology is much more efficient and safer, regardless of fuel used. If your system is oil burning it must be serviced annually or it will not perform well, and you risk smelly failures. A fuel gas system would need filters changed, probably control adjustments and other minor items. Electric is about the same. If you need more specific information please provide the make, age and fuel type of system you have and if warm air furnace or hot water (hydronic).

Bob: Thank you for contacting Porch. There should be a gas shutoff valve behind the range you can turn off. Then turn on and light a burner to bleed off the gas and the burner should go out. You may then disconnect the gas connector at any point on the range side of the gas shutoff. Once the floor is done reinstall the gas connector and turn on the gas. Check for gas leaks at the point you disconnected it with soapy water for any leaks (bubble indicate leak) and push the range back in. Then light the burners, note it will take a few tries to ignite to bleed out the air. Note if the range has an older brass style connector you might consider replacing it. Or you can contact a plumber to do this for you. You can locate one here: https://pro.porch.com/near-me/plumbers ... Read more

Kris: Thank you for contacting Porch. Most likely there is already a regulator in the range - but you would need to review the installation directions to be sure. Best would be to have a licensed professional determine the gas pressure needed and if the pipe to the furnace is large enough to supply both appliances concurrently.
