Plumbing Repair Service In Fort Lauderdale, FL

I came out today to camera unit 4517 and unit 4521. I put the camera in the ground clean out and went up stream in unit 4517. That unit is pvc. Unit 4521 has no accessible ground clean outs. Unit 4521 is cast iron piping.

Upon arrival the customer showed me to the master bathroom where the toilet was already pulled. He informed me that they had a stoppage so I quoted him on clearing the stoppage with my k60. The customer agreed. I ran roughly 60’ of k60 cable and cleared the stoppage. I pulled back a piece of plastic. I then ran the sewer camera and could see sand and sediment lying in the bottom of the pipe. I recommend a jetting to clear out any debris.

Replaced the soldered on emergency stop for the toilet in the master bathroom. All materials and labor are included. Also replaced the emergency stop for the guest bathroom toilet as well. After the work was completed I tested everything for proper function and checked all fittings for any leaks. The new filtration system was also leaking so I replaced the adapters on the filters. This work is covered under warranty. After that work was completed I ensured the filter system was working properly.

I came out today for a leak underneath the kitchen sink. After running the water I was able to see that the leak was coming from where the accordion tail piece connected to the fernco. I replaced the tail piece and the fernco. After that I filled the sink and let it drain. I also ran the water for a couple of minutes. There are no leaks. I also provided an estimate to replace the waste arm and lower it if there are any potential leaks in the future.

I came out today for low water pressure coming out of the kitchen faucet and in the hallway bathroom faucet. I looked at the main valve to make sure that it was all the way on, and it was. The master bathroom lavatory faucet has good pressure. I offered to diagnose both faucets by undoing the supply lines to check the pressure and undoing the aerators to see if that was the issue. The hallway bathroom has quarter turn emergency stops. The kitchen has a old dual emergency stop for the hot side that I recommend replacing, and a quarter turn emergency stop for the cold side. I gave the homeowner a price to do that and she said that she was going to buy new faucets for me to come back and install. I provided estimates for the scopes of work.

I came out today because the homeowner has been smelling some type of sewer smell in the ac closet on and off for approximately 2 weeks. There was an old abandoned terracotta pipe that had a cover over it. I removed the cover and the line looked like it was going straight down into the ground. When looking in the pipe I saw dirt. There is a bathroom on the other side of the wall. We flushed the toilet and heard no water running through that pipe. I put some plastic bags in the hole and filled it with concrete. I advised the homeowner that if this causes any issues we would have to come back out and re evaluate the area.

Upon arrival the customer showed me to the bathroom where she said there was water all over the floor after taking a shower. I checked to see if the shower was leaking and didn’t see any leak but I did notice that the toilet was leaking from around the base at the floor. She also stated her interest in replacing the hose bibs around her house and replacing the hose bibs for the laundry valves. I quoted the customer on everything and she agreed. I replaced all hose bibs and turned the water on to test for leaks. No leaks. I also installed new braided steel laundry supply lines for the washer free of charge. I then pulled the toilet to change the wax ring and performed a minor toilet rebuild. I tested everything by turning the water on to test for leaks. No leaks. I flushed the toilet several times and it’s working great.

Upon inspection…both bathrooms were backed up…ran k60 75 feet to clear clog….ran both showers and flushed toilets…all working properly. Installed customer supplied shower head….no leaks.

upon arrival I was greeted at the front door by the homeowner and led upstairs to the master bathroom shower where I found the handheld shower head. I tested it and noticed droplets forming at the base of the handheld which led me to believe I needed to check the gaskets. Upon receiving authorization I promptly disassembled the hose from the handheld and the hose from the wall, I thoroughly checked the gaskets, I found them to be worn, I was able to flip them around and put teflon tape on the threads and reinstall the hose, I then turned the handle on for the handheld and I no longer saw droplets forming. If the issue persists, I notified the customer that it would likely be a cartridge issue and that it would need to be replaced.

Upon arrival I was greeted by the homeowner at the front door and led up to the master bathroom where I had previously quoted him on replacing the Hans grohe shower cartridge, prior visits I was unable to locate a part number, I shut off the integral stops and was able to heat the valve and get the cartridge to loosen, during the heating process a piece of oxidation popped off revealing a partial number, I used a wire brush to clean the rest of the cartridge and was able to find the cartridge online. I have ordered the part and will need one additional visit to install the cartridge. I collected $200 as a deposit for the cartridge replacement.

I came out today to diagnose a clogged kitchen sink. Customer told me that he put down some banana, peels and lemons in the disposal and it started acting up the next day I had to drop the disposal out of the way to access the drain and i snaked the waste arm all the way to the building stack to ensure the clog was cleared. I filled the sink all the way up to push any leftover debris through to the building sewer. Tested sink extensively with multiple drop test to ensure proper drainage and no leaks.

Upon arrival the customer stated that they had low water pressure earlier this morning. He informed us that he called the city and they checked the pressure at the meter and it was normal. I did a quick pressure test at a hose bib and it was close to 70psi. The customer informed me that he was concerned because his washer had stopped itself mid cycle. I checked the kitchen faucet, bathroom faucet, and shower for pressure and they all had good flow. The customer and I came to the conclusion that the city may have shut the water down temporarily early morning for a repair. No charge for today.

Upon arrival I was greeted by the homeowner and led out to the newly constructed dock. They asked that I run a line over to where the dock pedestal is going to be installed. Upon receiving authorization I promptly shut off the main valve to the dock, cut the supply line and propressed in a “t”. I then ran the line over to where they had the electric stubbed up for the dock pedestal. I then unsweat the old hosebibs on the east side of the dock and pro pressed the new hosebibs on. I then turned the water back on at the docks main valve and checked for leaks, I found none.

I arrive today because my customers toilet was leaking into the floor below. I removed the toilet to reveal a crack in the flange. After talking to maintenance the leak that was fixed by John the plumber in June of 2023 was never fixed but the residents on the 6th floor weren’t there until this past month. Because it was less then a year and a warranty was given on the previous pull and reset the customer was only charged for the flange repair itself.

Installed 1/2” ball valve to isolate under the sink filter I installed previously.

We re mounted the urinal and tested for leaks and than caulked it to the wall. No more issues or leaks
