He mentioned he went to try to undue his hose and the entire hose bib came off with the hose. He had to shut the main water down to the home. He currently has a gate valve for his main, I did recommend a 1/4 turn. The water heater is also over 10 years old, Keith is aware of it’s old age, he mentioned he’s not planing on changing, I did still mention I’ll show him some options anyway so he at least knows the cost. Furthermore, he selected to just get the hose bib done at the moment. I got what was necessary and made the repair.

I asked if he had the installers info, he should probably try contacting them. He mentioned they moved out of town not too long ago. I told him I’ll double check if we actually deal with this particular situation.

The main valve was repaired a few years ago after he had a leak, and the water heater is older than 10 years old. I Brought to his attention that it’s getting to that point of no return. Thus, I

Upon arrival, the customer reported a backup in the primary shower. After conducting a thorough inspection, it was determined that the main sewer line was also backed up. To address the issue, we utilized a K60 drain machine and snaked the line through the roof vent. We ran 75 feet of cable and successfully relieved the blockage. Following this, we conducted a camera inspection through the same roof vent. The inspection revealed that the cast iron main sewer line was in poor condition. Specifically, at approximately 50 feet into the line, there was a noticeable belly in the PVC section of the system. This improper pitch is causing debris and solids to collect, leading to recurring blockages and backups. Based on these findings, we recommended a full replacement of the cast iron piping. Our proposed solution includes removing all existing cast iron pipes from the base of the home and replacing them with new, properly pitched PVC piping to ensure proper flow and prevent future issues.

Report Summary: We met with Renee at the property regarding issues with the existing water heater. Renee reported that the unit was not functioning properly and had been providing inconsistent hot water. After assessing the condition of the unit, we determined that the water heater is outdated and no longer reliable. Due to its age and condition, we recommended a full replacement of the water heater. We also advised replacing the existing heater valve with a permanent, code-compliant valve. We presented Renee and Chuck with a quote for the replacement, which includes a new water heater, a new drain pan, and a new heater valve. It’s important to note that water service to the entire building must be shut down in order to safely replace both the water heater and valve. Once the homeowner approves the quote, we will coordinate the shutoff and schedule the installation accordingly.

Summary of Visit: Our technician met with the homeowner at the above address. The homeowner pointed out an area where water is visibly coming out, raising concerns of a potential hidden plumbing issue. After a visual inspection and discussion, we explained that the symptoms may indicate a slab leak. We advised the homeowner that a professional leak search would be required to determine the exact location and nature of the leak. We also informed him that, due to the possibility of a slab leak, it may be necessary to open the exterior block wall, and that the shower area could be damaged in the process. The homeowner acknowledged and understood that any damage to the shower tile would not be the responsibility of John the Plumber. We explained that the quoted leak search price covers up to 2 hours of work: • 1.5 hours of active leak detection • 0.5 hours for setup and preparation If additional time is required to locate the leak, it will be billed at a rate of $398 per hour beyond

Upon arrival we dug down to the sewer and discovered that there is sdr tied into pvc. Also there is another line also tied into the Y. More work is needed to be done that we did not know about just by running the camera the moment we discovered the roots. We were however able to cut the section of pipe out and remove the roots by hand over the duration of the day. It took a while to do that. We will need to return to complete the job. There may be another estimate given to get the job fully completed due to what we discovered that we have to do next.

Today, we met with the homeowner regarding an issue with the water heater. The homeowner reported a small fire that occurred beneath the electrical components of the unit, which resulted in the water heater shutting off and the breaker tripping. Upon inspection, we recommended replacing the existing electrical connection with a hard wire to properly assess whether the water heater itself required replacement. After completing the electrical work, we confirmed that the water heater powered back on. At this time, it cannot be determined whether the upper heating element is functioning correctly due to the short that occurred. If it is found that the upper element needs replacement, a 5500-watt element will be required and must be specially ordered. Additionally, the unit contains a 5500-watt smart upper thermostat, which would also need to be ordered if replacement is necessary. We initially quoted to replace the water heater valve; however, this was removed from the estimate because
