Upon arrival to the location, we met with Wendy who came outside and showed us the leak by her main valve. She has a 530 valve that just constantly leaks. I mentioned to her it could be faulty or possibly just a slight adjusting. She then mentioned she had a leak on her fill valve that was spraying at her toilet handle and getting it stuck. She fixed the leak coming from the fill valve but wants it replaced entirely. She has been at the home for about a year. The house was gutted and renovated entirely before she moved in. In addition, Wendy stated John the plumber did most of the work, that’s how she got our information to call now. I told Wendy to give me a few minutes while I got her some options. The 530 valve is faculty as I attempted to adjust, so I gave her the option to replace it as well as the fill valve. Wendy asked if I could send them via email.

Upon arrival to the location, I met with homeowner Preston who showed me inside and began by explaining just recently they realized there’s an opened pipe behind their dishwasher. They only found out because water was backing up through that opening every time they ran the kitchen sink beside it. We ran water for a few so I could see how fast it takes to back up, after about 15 seconds it began to do so. I asked to check main valve and water heater, Preston moved in about 5 years ago and the water heater was already existing. They have a solar water heater that isn’t hooked up to any solar and it’s over 10 years. I brought it to Preston attention, typically around this time they start going bad. His main valve was also concerning, I made him aware of those old gate valves. Furthermore, I went and got Preston some options of what was discussed and he ended up choosing to do the stoppage and main valve. I initially wanted to go through the kitchen, but the cable wasn’t making all bends a

They’ve had leaks in the past, and have had new lines re-routed to certain parts of the home. There’s a total of 4 hose bibs throughout the home. Furthermore, they changed out their water heater a couple years ago. In addition, I asked Rosa for a few minutes while I went to build her some solutions. When I got back, i asked Rosa if this was something she was looking to get done today, she replied sooner than later but she’s shopping around. We went over the options, she seemed interested in doing all the hose bibs with main valve but wants to go over with husband who isn’t available at the moment.

Customer had a main line blockage. Upon arrival he informed me that both bathrooms in the house were backing up. After diagnostic I determined that we would need to snake the line from the 3” vent on the roof. I accessed roof from the front of house. Once on the roof I ran 75 feet of k60 reel. Blockage was cleared. Tested line by flushing multiple times. Line in clear. Customer satisfied.

Upon arrival, we initiated an inspection of the drainage line utilizing a diagnostic camera. However, the camera became lodged within the line. Fortunately, we were able to extract it without incident. The camera was submerged in water, which obstructed visibility and prevented us from conducting a comprehensive assessment of the line's condition. Subsequently, we employed a K60 machine via the roof vent in an effort to clear the obstruction. It required two attempts to achieve successful clearance of the blockage, during which a substantial amount of cast iron scale was expelled through the cleanout. Following our findings, we advised the customer to replace the deteriorating cast iron plumbing in the master bathroom to prevent further issues. The customer requested two separate estimates: one for the master bathroom replacement and another for the replacement of the plumbing throughout the entire residence. We will furnish the customer with both estimates accordingly. Please be ad

The area in the northwest corner of the backyard, where the pavers were sinking, was due to a leak in the dock’s water supply. I removed 10 pavers in the sunken area and dug down 20 inches to expose a broken 3/4" PVC pipe. After removing 18 inches of the damaged pipe, I used new PVC to make the necessary repair and packed dirt underneath the pipe. I then tested the repair by attaching a pressure gauge to the hose bib on the dock. After turning off the ball valve where the pipe connects to the house, the pressure remained stable, confirming the repair was successful.

We also reset the toilet to its original state, ensuring proper alignment and secure installation. Additionally, we installed a new angle stop and supply line for the toilet to improve its performance and mitigate potential issues. During our inspection, we identified that the supply lines connected to the vanity faucet were plastic and showed signs of corrosion, posing a potential leak risk. As a precaution, we provided an estimate to replace the faucet to prevent future complications. Furthermore, we observed that the property's 2007 80-gallon Rheem water heater was exhibiti

Upon arrival, the customer expressed concern regarding a leak originating from the walls when using the kitchen sink. After providing an initial estimate, we proceeded with opening the wall behind the kitchen to determine the source of the issue. Our inspection revealed that the stack is leaking underground, causing water to accumulate in a void between two slabs before overflowing into the home. To properly address this issue, we advised the customer that further repairs would require opening the block wall and slab, following a camera inspection to confirm the precise location and direction of the pipe. At this time, the customer is considering the possibility of lining the existing pipes as an alternative solution. If this option proves unfeasible, the customer will reach out to us for an estimate to replace the stack.

Service Report We met with the homeowner, who explained that he had attempted to remove the shower valve trim in order to replace the handle, as it has become difficult to turn.

We informed the homeowner that this is a low-quality shower valve, which may continue to present issues over time. However, the homeowner prefers to replace the necessary parts as needed rather than replace the entire valve. After locating the correct replacement parts, we placed an order for them and collected a deposit from the homeowner. Once the parts arrive, we will return to complete the job. While on-site, we also inspected the main shut-off valve for the home and found it to be in poor condition. It is a gate valve, which we advised should be replaced. We explained to the homeowner that the city does not allow us to shut off water at the meter, and the meter shut-off should not be relied upon as the primary
