Upon arrival to the customer's property to assess a potential conflict involving an existing liquid propane gas line and a new backyard construction project. Upon arrival, we met with representatives from the contracting company overseeing the build, which includes the installation of a wooden bar shack in the rear portion of the yard. During the site evaluation, it was determined that the existing above-ground LP gas line—currently supplying the home’s standby generator—is situated directly in the path of the proposed structure. The current routing of the line presents both spatial and safety concerns, as it interferes with construction plans and may not meet clearance requirements once the structure is in place. The customer inquired about possible solutions, including re-routing the gas line and potentially burying it to avoid obstruction and enhance safety and visual appeal. We explained that modifying an active propane line requires careful planning, including consideration of t

Upon today’s visit customer had a French drain system installed in back yard of home. We tied French drain into existing branch line coming from underneath patio slab. French drain system was completely covered with stone for an ease of draining properly. We did explain to customer the best way to have this issue fixed, is if he tied laundry and lavatory drain into his existing main sewer line of home. We did not prepare an estimate to due so, because we would have to either tunnel underneath home or cut into floor to make our connection. We advised customer that he should have around 4 years until he would have to preform a tunnel to have these lines properly connected to main. At that time, all cast iron pipe should be removed and replaced with pvc underneath home, and that’s when we will make connection to main sewer line. French drain system is connected and able to be used. We will have to make a return visit Friday afternoon to spread loose dirt in back yard. Thank you for callin

I came out today to install a new 28 gallon rheem water heater. After the installation of the heater and wiring it up. There were no leaks and the water was getting hot. I also adjusted the temperature to 125 per the homeowners request. I will be providing an estimate for the replacement of the metal laundry drain that has a small drip at the nut.

Gained access to 2” vertical cast iron stack by carefully chipping out drywall within affected wall cavity. Initiated primary smoke test to identify any breaches in the sanitary system. Detected smoke escaping into wall cavity, traced to a failed, abandoned 1.5” copper waste arm exhibiting severe longitudinal cracking along the bottom of the pipe — consistent with age-related metal fatigue and corrosion. Proceeding with remediation, the defective copper waste arm was removed back to its point of connection at the 2” stack. The opening at the stack was then sealed using a properly sized no-hub cap secured with a stainless-steel banded coupling, ensuring an airtight and code-compliant termination. A follow-up smoke test was then performed utilizing four smoke bombs to pressurize the system. No additional signs of smoke or sewer gas were observed within the structure, confirming system integrity and successful resolution of the odor complaint. To ensure no other concealed defects were

Upon arrival, customer informed me that he was no longer receiving hot water to any of his fixtures in the house, and he was getting an error code on his heater. Customer has a Navien. After brief diagnostic, I advised the customer that he would need to just push the reset button on his heater to make it work. I’ll advise him that when it is done pressure drop in the gas.

Upon arrival, customer informed me that the tenant in her unit has a toilet that is seeping out water from the bottom. After diagnostic when I arrived, I advised the customer that I would be needing to pull the toilet to determine the cause and the source of the water coming from the bottom of the toilet. I explain to the customer that it could possibly either be a broken flange or a stoppage in which case I would need to replace the wax drain and flange bolts. I began by pulling the toilet to find out if there was any clogs in the line. After immediately pulling the toilet, it was evident that there was a major stoppage in the line, just passed the closet 90. I advised the customer that this was the cause and that this was actually a stoppage that backed up over the wax ring causing water to seep from the bottom of the toilet. While cleaning the line, I also noticed that the flange was previously repaired with a temporary flange extension and the original flange was still cracked on b
