Home Plumbing Repair In Lighthouse Point, FL

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 called John the plumber out today because she has two tankless water heaters in the home and one isn’t working. Tankless water heater is giving off area code 15 (venturi gas valve). Customer had a company come out earlier today and unfortunately they were not able to resolve the issue. Technician gave the customer a few options and customer decided to replace the venturi gas valve. Technician also informed the customer that replacing this part doesn’t mean that another error code will pop up. The part will be ordered and ready to install next week Wednesday (9/17)

When we arrived, met with homeowner who explained water was not hot enough. Adjusted temp to 130 and tested heater to be working, no other recommendations at this time.

Upon arrival, the customer reported a leak under the kitchen sink from the water filtration system. Upon further inspection, we found the water heater pan full of water due to the old-style gate valve on the main water shut-off leaking onto the tank. The water heater’s age could not be determined, as no serial number was present. However, given that the tank was sitting in water and the shut-off valve was leaking directly onto the unit, we recommended replacement. We proceeded to repipe the main water shut-off after removing the old unit and installed a new 28-gallon Rheem tank water heater. To bring the installation up to code and prepare for inspection, we corrected the T&P relief line, installed a new drain pan, and extended the electrical whip. After installation, we tested the unit for proper functionality, and it is operating as expected. Additional observations: The toilet in the bathroom is not connected to the flange. The ice maker line is disconnected due to the failing f

We installed a 30-gallon water heater in the attic. The old water heater was removed, although this was not part of the invoice. We also installed the Taco Leak Defense system and explained to the homeowner that it can be powered either by batteries or a plug. She chose the battery option and will replace them once a year herself. The water heater includes a six-year warranty. No other recommendations at this time

Upon arrival to the location, we met Jason who took us inside and mentioned the hammer arrestor is back to causing banging noises. It wasn’t immediately after I installed it a couple months ago but he mentioned ago 2 weeks or so. Moreover, I checked the toilet, and it was making the hammering, I did not have another one in the truck but I got it delivered. We installed the new one and all is working well at the moment. He mentioned the filtration being 18 months old without being changed. So I gave him an estimate for changing them which he approved.

We repaired the leaking pipe located approximately three feet deep. The repair was completed by replacing the leaking Schedule 40 PVC with Schedule 80 PVC. We verified that there were no leaks before turning the water back on and backfilling the excavation. Although we reset the sand, we did not reinstall the pavers, as we are not a paver company. Our repair was fully tested and confirmed to be functioning properly. No other recommendations at this time.

We met with Dave today and inspected Unit 28. During testing of the fixtures, we observed water damage to the ceiling above in Unit 28. After further testing in Unit 30, we determined that the leak is being caused by a shower pan failure. The shower drain in Unit 30 is not a proper 3-compartment drain and does not appear to be able to confirm for a shower pan. It also appears that an attempt to repair the shower had been made at one point. However, the repair was not performed correctly, as the shower floor remains original. Only a portion of the shower wall was replaced, which would not have effectively addressed the issue. This confirms that the leak source is related to the compromised shower pan, which has not been properly corrected. Important Notice: Continuing to use the shower without replacing the pan will lead to further issues and ongoing water damage to the ceiling and structure in Unit 28. The longer the defective pan remains in service, the greater the extent of water i

We met with the homeowner to review options for replacing the water heater currently located in the attic. The homeowner requested three options to be written up: 1. Replacing the current attic unit with a new tank-style water heater in the attic. 2. Relocating the water heater to a closet inside the home. 3. Installing a tankless water heater on an interior wall. We explained that each option provides its own benefits. Keeping the tank in the attic maintains the existing layout. Relocating to a closet provides easier access and takes the heater out of the attic. A tankless on the interior wall provides space savings and continuous hot water supply. The homeowner will review the written quotes and decide how they want to move forward.

Upon arrival to the location, I met with homeowner who showed me inside. She took me to the kitchen, where she explained she has a leak coming from dishwasher but doesn’t understand from where. The dish washer, which is about 20 years old according to homeowner, currently was holding some water when I got there. She stated a couple days ago, she ran the dishwasher and the water wasn’t draining properly, and it overfilled in the dishwasher and spilled onto the floor. Moreover, she had the valve to the dishwasher off. I checked to see if garbage disposal and other drain was draining fine, which they are. I ask for her to run the dishwasher with the sitting water, and it drained more than half but some of it stood behind in the dishwasher. She also states if she leaves the sitting water that’s in the dishwasher, it gradually increases by itself and that’s her concern. We tried running water to the dishwasher to see if the supply valve was holding, and it was, so it’s not a water supply is

To shut the water down while I open some of the lines in the shower. I began to remove the rusted shower slide bar with hand sprayer, and I also removed the body sprayer that was rusted as well. I informed customer that I would remove the secondary body sprayer in the showerhead as well to clear the lines of any residual rust or sediment that was causing the original problem. After doing so I installed the new shower trim, which required drilling some holes for the new slide bar. I use the tile bit and correctly measured the distance so that the slide bar was in the exact same place as it was before. After installing the new trim, I turned the water back on to test for any leaks or damages. There were no leaks. Customer was very satisfied, and I also did a thorough cleaning of the area for customer request.

The customer contacted us regarding a plumbing stoppage in the guest bathroom. Upon arrival, I was shown the affected area where both the bathtub and toilet were backed up, indicating a blockage in the drain line serving that bathroom. After inspecting the situation and confirming the issue, I provided the customer with an estimate to clear the stoppage using a K60 sewer machine, utilizing up to 75 feet of snake cable to access and clear the line. The estimate was approved on-site. I proceeded with the work, carefully running the K60 machine through the drain line to break up and remove the obstruction. After several passes, the blockage was fully cleared. I then tested all affected fixtures—including the tub and toilet—to ensure proper drainage and full functionality. All fixtures are now draining as they should with no signs of backup or slow drainage. The work area was cleaned upon completion, and the customer was informed of the results. The drainage system is now restored and oper

The customer called us regarding a suspected underground water leak. Upon arrival, we assessed the situation and provided an estimate to perform an extensive leak detection service, which the customer approved. We began by opening the drywall in the laundry area of the garage to expose the plumbing manifold. Using our listening equipment, we identified the source of the leak—a 3/4" copper line. We cut and capped the line to isolate the issue. After completing the repair, we pressure tested the home’s water system and confirmed there was no pressure drop, indicating the leak had been successfully eliminated. We determined that the capped line had been supplying water to an exterior hose bib in the backyard. We then provided an estimate to install a new hose bib by teeing into the cold water line feeding the toilet in the powder bathroom and stubbing out through the wall. The customer chose not to proceed with this work at the time, as the hose bib is not frequently used. At the conc
