Moreover, she mentioned she just moved into the home 4 years ago and everything was newly renovated. One of her showers has been backing up, Nelly tried putting vinegar and other liquids to clear stoppage, she even bought a drill snake but she can’t clear it. Nelly stated she only had one stoppage in the past four years at that shower. The guy who cleared the stoppage then, mentioned there was construction debris in the line. I told her we would snake the line again, it doesn’t sound like there’s a problem with the line if it was once in the past four years. She stated she tried to snake it herself with the drill snake she bought and nothing happened, I told her I’ll be going through the roof with bigger cables. Furthermore, I got her an estimate for clearing the line and she thought it was too much. I told her it’s actually a very fair price, she mentioned the last guy

He advised customer he would need to pull the whole toilet. I informed customer I would run my own diagnostic.

Initially I advised customer that I would need to run a k45 auger through the overflow to attempt to clear the ptrap.

We arrived at the property to address a blockage issue and proceeded to run a K60 through the roof stack above the bathroom in an attempt to clear the blockage. We successfully cleared the blockage temporarily and then ran a camera to diagnose the issue and determine its cause. During the inspection, we discovered heavy scaling buildup in the line. Unfortunately, we were unable to run the camera to the exterior of the house because we could not get past the sanitary T off the stack. We informed the tenant that this was not a permanent fix, and due to the nature of the issue, we were unable to provide a warranty for the work performed. We advised the customer that the best course of action would be to build a cleanout, descale the pipe, and jet the line to clear out the scaling buildup if they did not wish to replace the pipes altogether. Additionally, we are providing the customer with an estimate to pull the toilet so we can locate where the pipe exits the house, then build a clean

The customer presented us with a leaking garbage disposal, prompting our assessment of the issue. Upon inspection, we determined that the disposal needed replacement and also recommended changing both angle stops under the kitchen sink due to significant corrosion and age-related wear.
