Upon arrival to the location, I met with Martha who opened and showed me inside. I asked Martha if she was aware of my visit, and she stated it was a complimentary visit to check the plumbing. She then asked how long would it take because she’s actually stepping out. I told her it wouldn’t be long and told her exactly what I’ll be doing. She has two bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs. She renovated the entire home about 2-3 years ago. The only thing that I seen, which was a concern, was the water heater. I brought it to her attention, she mentioned she’ll replace it when it stops working. Hence, I gave her the folder with the evaluation forms and toilet tank tablets.

Customer contacted us regarding a sewer stoppage at their unit. Upon arrival, I was shown an exterior PVC clean-out that was actively overflowing. I provided an estimate to clear the blockage using a K60 sewer machine, which was approved by the customer. After successfully clearing the stoppage, I performed a complimentary camera inspection of the sewer line. During the evaluation, I identified a section of compromised PVC pipe with visible root intrusion. I then located the exact area of the damaged pipe and provided the customer with an estimate for the necessary repair. While the sewer line is currently draining, I advised the customer that this is a temporary solution. The root intrusion will continue to worsen over time, and the affected section of piping will ultimately need to be excavated and replaced to prevent future backups.

Customer called John the plumber out today because the unit below him is complaining about a water leak coming from above the guest bathroom toilet. Customer had a similar issue a few months ago, and that issue was resolved by replacing the toilet flange and wax ring. Unfortunately, this is not a similar issue due to the fact that there has not been anyone living in that unit for at least two weeks. And technician did not see the toilet running. So the leak may be coming from somewhere else. Technician gave the customer some options on a leak search but before a customer goes through with that option, customer would like to put dye in the toilet to make sure that it is not the toilet causing the issue.

We spoke to the homeowner over the phone after diagnosing the situation via isolated clogs in the tub and vanity. After receiving approval to snake the tub, we proceeded with the work. As a courtesy, due to the tenant being partially disabled, we also cleaned the tub, even though this is not typically part of our service. We tested the system afterward to confirm that everything is running properly and in good working condition. No other recommendations at this time, other than advising the association to descale and jet the drain lines to help prevent this issue from occurring again in the future.

Upon arrival, we witnessed large amounts of sewage escaping from the top of the toilet, which appeared to be the result of an overflow caused by usage from a main line stoppage. Work Performed • We ran a drain snake approximately 50 feet through the line and successfully unclogged the stoppage. • After clearing the line, we inspected the interior of the drain. • The inspection revealed heavy scale buildup and cast iron piping in poor overall condition. Inspection Findings • No observable cracks or breaks were present in the cast iron at this time. • However, the piping displayed severe thinning throughout the section we inspected. • The condition of the cast iron suggests it is approaching failure, and cracks or breaks may occur in the near future if corrective action is not taken. Recommendations • We strongly recommend having the drain lines descaled and then re-evaluated to determine whether pipelining or full pipe r
