Upon arrival I was shown to two running toilets. The emergency shutoff valves were also seized and I informed the customer. An estimate to replace both emergency shutoff valves and do two minor rebuilds were agreed on and after the work was done I tested my connections for leaks and none were present and I flushed both toilets multiple times to ensure they were operating properly and no longer running. Highly recommend replacing the water heater due to age and since they are on the 11th floor and this can be a serious problem if the heater rusts out on the bottom and leaks down and creates and flood

Moreover, One of the bathroom faucets also is lacking hot water. The bathroom faucet was existing to the unit when they moved in and they’ve replaced the kitchen faucet 3 years ago.

Upon arrival to the location, I met with homeowner Jason who opened the front door and showed me inside the apartment. He explained he had another plumber come out to service the both toilets in the home but they’re now worse than they were originally per Jason. The plumber changed out both flappers on each toilet, and never bothered to advise Jason he could use a tank rebuild which is what I recommended him. He asked if it’s better to just change out the toilets, I told Jason, I’ll show him different options on what he can do moving forward. He moved into the apartment a few years ago, and toilets were already existing. He wouldn’t mind changing them out, I agreed that it may be the best route. Moreover, I asked to see the main valve and water heater, which are located in the outside utility closet. Jason is aware his water heater is old, he mentioned we came out last year for an estimate.

Upon arrival customer showed me a 1” pvc line that was running through the driveway and pushing the pavers up. Customer was concerned that it was their main line and wanted to check it out. After diagnostic, I determined that the 1” line was an irrigation line running to the front of the driveway. I advised customer that I can reseat the line, however I would need to pull up at least 20+ pavers to access the line and dirt. I would then need to trench a 1’ deep line to house a 3” conduit to act as a sleeve for the pipe. Also allows for future electric to be rang through the same sleeve. Customer advised me that they are planning on tearing up the entire driveway soon anyway and they prefer to do it all at once rather than pay to have it seated now and have to dig it up later again. I advised customer that I can send an estimate for them so it’s at their fingertips when they are ready to pull the trigger. Customer was thankful.

After inspection, I advised Customer his filters were overdue to be changed. They were installed in 2023. I recommended that we change both the pre-filter and the post-filter.

Upon arrival customer advised me that her master bathroom faucet head was loose and spinning. I told her I would do a diagnostic to find out the cause. Customer informed me that she had a handy man come out and try to fix it. Handyman cemented one of the faucets down. He tried to Cement the other however it did not work. The problem was that the cut out for the faucet was slightly too big. Therefore the faucet needed to be directly centered for the locking nut to sit properly and catch the sides of the vanity top. Marquise assisted by holding the faucet center in place and I was able to lock the faucet down properly. I cleaned up the excess cement from the handy guy and cause tear was happy. I asked customer upon completion if she was satisfied with the amount of hot water she receives it the unit. She would like to shorten the time it takes to receive hot water to the fixtures. I told her she has a big unit so we recommend a booster pump to increase the output by almost half.custome

Upon arrival to the location, I met with the tenant who was renting the Airbnb, who was outside waiting by a parking spot. I greeted him and he explained that Lucia should be arriving shortly. After a few minutes Lucia appeared, and we all went inside to the first floor bathroom, where the shower was not dispensing any water, they mentioned it was like that since they got to the Airbnb. Moreover, I took a look at the water heater which was installed in 2017 and the main valve which Lucia says the HOA is responsible for. I advised her that I can’t put my hand on it in order to do the job and she has to be able to turn the valve on and off. In addition, I showed Lucia some options, which she agreed on, but had to confirm with the tenants and advise them on how long the repair may take. The tenants had no problems and neither did Lucia, so she signed off on the estimate and shut off the main water valve which was holding.
