Upon arrival customer informed me that one of John the Plumbers technicians came out on Saturday and was not able to find the meter to turn the water off. Customer said she had the city come out and find the meter. Customer explained to me the original problem was that she wanted to change the components in her guest bathroom toilet tank as well as the water supply. Customer managed to replace the tank assembly by herself but needed help with the angle stop replacement. After shutting the water down completely from the meter, I removed current old angle stop and replaced with a 1/4 turn Wolverine Brass 3/8 compression stop. Also replace supply line. Turned water back on, no leaks. Customer satisfied. Also asked customer if there was anything else in the house that she wanted me to look at while I was there, customer said there was nothing else and she was happy with her plumbing. Customer said she is having no issues with heater and declined an estimate.

Responded to mainline sewer stoppage affecting property. Accessed system via rooftop 3" vent stack above guest bathroom. Deployed 75 feet of ⅝" sectional cable using a heavy-duty drain machine to restore flow. Obstruction successfully cleared. Performed follow-up inspection using a high-definition sewer inspection camera. Noted significant buildup of sludge, scale, and mineral deposits along interior pipe walls, indicating long-term accumulation. Line integrity intact, but heavy buildup poses risk for future blockages and reduced flow capacity. Recommendation: Recommend high-pressure hydro jetting service to thoroughly descale and remove residual buildup from the interior of the main sewer line. Jetting will restore optimal flow and help prevent future backups.
