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 After assessing the condition of the unit, we determined that the water heater is outdated and no longer reliable.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.

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.

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
