We met with the unit owner, who explained that the toilet was backing up and leaking from the base. We proceeded to remove the toilet, snake the line, and inspect the flange. Upon pulling the toilet, we found that it was set on a cast-iron flange sitting above the finished floor, which was misaligned. After properly tightening the bolts and aligning the flange, we were able to reset the toilet securely without any leaking or rocking. In the event that leakage occurs again from the base within the next year, we will honor a one-year warranty and, if necessary, propose replacing the flange by opening a portion of the floor beneath the toilet. That work would be quoted on the same day of service if required. We also snaked the drain line and ran the camera. After reinstallation of the toilet, we discovered heavy scale buildup and channeling throughout the cast-iron piping.

We will need to install another set of hose bibs on the other side of the line, but that will be done the day of the inspection.

We met with a client who reported that water was coming from her toilet when flushing due to a backup. After diagnosing the issue, we determined that the wax ring had failed with a possible failed flange. We quoted her for the wax ring replacement first and explained that if the flange needed replacement, we would perform that at the same time, providing her with the price upfront. Upon pulling the toilet, we discovered that the flange was cracked. We replaced the PVC flange with a new PVC flange, unclogged the toilet, and tested it. No leaks were observed. We caulked the toilet in place and advised the client not to clean around it for 24 hours, though it could be used immediately. The flange was cracked due to initial improper installation, the pvc riser was too high and we cut it shorter. The cause of the leak was due to improper installation of the flange which caused the wax ring to fail. No other recommendations at this time.

We met with the homeowner who requested the installation of a new showerhead. During our visit, she also raised concerns about the toilet not flushing properly. Her main concern is that the toilet does not release enough water to provide a strong flush. After inspection, we explained that rebuilding the fill components would solve the issue with the slow refill but would not resolve the flushing performance. For the flushing issue, we are recommending replacing the existing toilet with a taller, high-efficiency, higher-aligned model that delivers a stronger flush. Quote The first option is to rebuild the fill components, which would address the slow refill but would not improve the flushing strength. The second option is to replace the existing toilet with a new high-aligned, tall toilet designed for stronger flushing performance
