Home Plumbing Repair In Lighthouse Point, FL

Issue Reported: Homeowner reported a slow-draining kitchen sink. Initial Assessment: Upon arrival, I was shown the kitchen sink where the tubular drainage piping had already been disconnected by the homeowner. I conducted a visual inspection and confirmed that the issue appeared to be isolated to the kitchen sink waste arm. No signs of backup or slow drainage were observed in any other fixtures throughout the home. Work Performed: I discussed possible solutions with the homeowner and provided an estimate to use a K-50 sewer snaking machine to clear the waste arm line. The estimate was approved on-site. I proceeded with snaking the line using the K-50 and successfully cleared a moderate blockage from the waste arm. After clearing the line, I reassembled the tubular piping and conducted a flow test by running the kitchen faucet continuously. I monitored the drainage performance at both the sink and the exterior cleanout located in the front yard. No signs of backflow, gurgling, or slow

Hence, all is good at the moment for removal of the cabinet. Tech will undo the plumbing to the kitchen so cabinets could be removed.

Customer called reporting a stoppage in the kitchen sink. Upon arrival, I spoke with the homeowner, who also mentioned gurgling noises coming from the toilets. Based on this information, I suspected the issue was not limited to the kitchen line but instead indicated a main sewer drain line blockage. After assessing the situation, I determined that a sewer snake machine would be required to access and clear the blockage via the main roof stack. Additionally, the homeowner requested: Replacement of the kitchen sink basket strainer Reconnection of the tubular P-trap and kitchen drain piping, which was not properly connected at the time I contacted Deborah, the payee (not on site), to explain the situation in detail. I provided estimates for both the main line snaking and the kitchen plumbing repair, which were approved over the phone. Work Completed: Successfully cleared the main sewer line stoppage via the roof stack access Fully tested all related fixtures to ensure proper drainage and

We met with the homeowner, who is in the process of selling their property and is gathering quotes for the water heater. This is typical when preparing a home for sale. Based on the age of the current heater, we recommend replacement. We discussed various options, including Prestige and Hybrid models, but the homeowner prefers a standard replacement, possibly upgrading from a 40-gallon to a 50-gallon unit. We will provide quotes for both a permitted installation and a non-permitted installation, allowing the homeowner to decide. Regardless of permit status, the work will be performed in the same professional manner.

We replaced the water heater today and tested it after the work was complete. The water heater is functioning properly and heating as expected. The homeowner turned the thermostat up to 140°F, which we explained we cannot adjust for him. The electrical breaker for the unit is undersized. It is currently a 20-amp breaker, but it should be a 25-amp breaker. However, the wire is 10-gauge, which is acceptable for the application. At the request of the homeowner, we removed the timer and FPL box. We also installed a water heater pan, which was not present with the old water heater. We had to identify the correct breakers. During troubleshooting, the AC breaker may have been turned off, but we did not cause any damage to the AC. All work was tested and is operating correctly. Recommendations: • No immediate plumbing issues beyond today’s work. • Future recommendation: install a filtration system, as the home water supply is in poor condition and would greatly benefit from filtration

Customer called us back out because he was seeing water down by the dock where the original leak was. After customer explained what was happening determined that the customer thought the main shutoff valve was the valve that was installed to shut the water off to the dock area. When the customer opened the valve to the dock the leak would reappear. Explained to the customer which valve was for the house and which valve is for the dock where the leaks was. Customer now is aware what both shut off valves control.

We met with the homeowner who showed us a leak at his dock. We explained that in order to find the source of the leak, a full leak detection would be required. Additionally, shrubs in the area would need to be removed in order for us to properly locate and access the leaking pipe. The homeowner asked for an alternative solution, so we explained that we could install a ball valve by the main valve to isolate the dock line. He agreed to this option, and we replaced the valve at a discounted rate since it was not his main shutoff but rather an additional valve to shut off the dock line. We tested our work and confirmed that no leaks were observed. After shutting it off, we confirmed that it successfully isolated the dock line. We explained that in the future, when he is ready to move forward with a permanent dock line repair, the shrubs will need to be removed. At that point, we can excavate or his own crew can perform the excavation, and then we can drill a new line through the seawal

Customer called regarding an issue with their dishwasher not draining properly, which they suspected may be related to the garbage disposal. Upon arrival, I spoke with the homeowner and inspected the garbage disposal. During the inspection, I found a significant amount of internal rust and deterioration inside the unit, which was likely obstructing proper drainage from the dishwasher. I provided the customer with an estimate to replace the garbage disposal, including a new basket strainer to ensure a secure and leak-free installation. The estimate was approved. All work was completed during the visit. The old disposal was removed and replaced with a new unit, along with the installation of a new basket strainer. After installation, I tested the system thoroughly. There were no leaks, and the dishwasher is now draining correctly. The system is back to normal operation, and no further issues were observed.

Upon arrival to the location, I met with homeowner Jason who opened the front door for us and met us on the side of the home. We asked if the water was ok to shut off, he confirmed it was. We shut the water off, removed both filter cases and changed out the cartridges and made sure to bleed out the system and run the water to rinse out cartridges. All is operating properly at the moment. Tech will furnish and install (2) new carbon filters to existing whole house filtration system.

We met with the homeowner, who expressed interest in converting their current water heating system to an electric tankless unit. After reviewing the home’s needs and available models, we recommended either the Stiebel Eltron 20 or the Rheem RTEX 18 as suitable options for the property. We explained that an electric tankless water heater provides continuous hot water on demand, eliminates standby energy losses, and saves valuable space compared to traditional tank-style systems. At this time, we are also coordinating with our licensed electrician to provide the homeowner with a quote for the necessary electrical upgrades to support an electric tankless water heater. The electrician is expected to reach out to the homeowner today to begin the process of evaluating and quoting the required electrical work. No installation was performed during this visit; this was strictly for consultation and recommendations. If any two quotes are bundled a 15 percent discount will be applied.

We met with Anthony at the dealership, who explained that there is a leak in the driveway. After reviewing the situation, we proposed two potential repair options: 1. A flat rate (fixed rate) repair. 2. An hourly rate repair that includes equipment charges for an excavator. At this stage, it is unclear which option would ultimately be less costly. The guarantee with the flat rate option is that the price will remain fixed regardless of time spent. With the hourly rate option, charges will apply for both labor and equipment time to locate the leak, and once the leak is located, a separate hourly repair rate will be quoted to complete the fix. Price is to open up asphalt and pavers with excavator. Price includes excavation of road rock up to 4-5 ft. We will complete the repair under a fixed flat rate. This ensures the total price remains the same regardless of how long the work takes or what complications are encountered during the excavation and repair process If water line is less

Customer had a company come out earlier today and unfortunately they were not able to resolve the issue.
