Upon arrival customer had a kitchen sink that was clogged. We ran cable from roof vent of kitchen stack to relieve blockage. When we pulled back cable it was caked with grease we did recommend customer to get a jetting service done. The jetting service will remove all grease build up in pipe with a high pressure spraying jet head. We will also dig up main line to install a new clean out so the debris from pipe will be buried and not go into city main. Main water shut off is old style gate valve and has a slow leak.

Upon arrival to the location, I met homeowner Renee who showed me inside and began by exposing she was away and when she got back this morning, she noticed a lot of water on the kitchen floor. Moreover, she mentioned her son was messing with the drain and she does know what happened after that. She also mentioned she has low pressure when she uses multiple fixtures throughout the home. She also mentioned we’ve done major work for her in the past and only after we finished the work, the low water pressure began. She was barely at the home so she really didn’t notice that much but since her son and daughter in law moved in, it’s more noticeable. Furthermore, I took a look at the drain under kitchen sink and ran water down both bowls and noticed it would leak from a connection from the right side tail piece into the tee. I then checked her fixtures and, everywhere in the home if you turn on a shower, the sinks will reduce pressure and vise versa. She states it was never that way, and has

Upon arrival we were informed of a flood that was caused by the toilet supply line. We recommended replacing the valve and supply line since the valve was seizing. After we did that, we looked at the rest of the emergency shutoff valves and recommended replacing 6 more due to the condition and style of them and the customer agreed. Ended up replacing 7 emergency shutoff valves. After installation, we turned the water back on and tested for leaks and none were present and the valves are functioning properly

Upon arrival, the customer showed us the issue with the kitchen sink. We initially ran a K60 through the roof stack in an attempt to clear the blockage. While this provided some relief, the blockage was not fully cleared. We then snaked the waste arm, which successfully cleared the remaining obstruction. Afterward, we tested all facilities for functionality. This job did not carry any warranty and was not a permanent fix.

Upon arrival customer informed me that they were trying to replace the hose bibb but was not able to turn the water off. Cusomter said that they turned gate valve off but water was still running. After diagnostic I determined that the gate valve needed to be replaced. I removed the current gate valve by cutting into the 1” PVC riser feeding the line. I also unsweat the 1” copper tee with hose bibb. Replacement was a 1” 1/4 turn ball valve. To install the valve I needed to shut the main water feed down from the meter. While meter was shut all the way down, it continued to purge water and meter was spinning. I recommended that customer er contact her city if something happens to the main feed the customer has no way to shut the water completely down. Customer very concerned that in the event of an emergency, they will not be able to stop the water. John the plumber installed a new main valve to the house however it is recommended that the city of margate should take a look at the meter

Upon arrival customer brought us to the guest bathroom where the tub was draining slow. We provided an estimate to clear the tub drain. Customer agreed and we snaked the tub through the overflow with drill snake. We pulled back huge clump of hair. We then filled the tub up with water and let it drain. It’s draining fast. Customer tub/shower puts out huge volume of water so the drain is not keeping up. Therefore giving the illusion of a blockage after the snaking. Once the water is off the tub drains perfect and doesn’t hold water.

Service Summary: We met with the homeowner who reported low water pressure from the kitchen faucet. Upon inspection, we removed the aerator and faucet head, which immediately restored full water pressure. This confirmed the issue was isolated to a clogged faucet head rather than a broader plumbing issue. We charged the homeowner a standard dispatch fee for the visit. Additional Observations & Recommendations: While on-site, we observed that the main water valve is an outdated gate valve and is at increased risk of failure due to age and mechanical limitations. Additionally, the water heater isolation valve is showing signs of corrosion and wear, which could pose operational and shutoff challenges in the future. We recommend replacing both valves with modern ball valves for long-term reliability and emergency readiness. Separate quotes for each valve replacement are provided below. ⸻ ⸻

Service Summary: We met with the homeowner today regarding a reported leak from the base of her toilet. Upon inspection, we confirmed signs of leaking consistent with a compromised wax seal. We recommended pulling and resetting the toilet. After removing the toilet, we cleaned the flange, installed a new wax ring, and reset the toilet securely. Upon completion, no leaks were observed. Water Heater Inspection: We inspected the water heater and determined that it is a newer model in good working condition. No recommendations or actions needed at this time. Main Valve Concern: During the service, we attempted to shut off the home’s main water valve. The valve is a traditional gate valve and failed to close completely, making it difficult to isolate water to the property. We strongly recommend replacing this gate valve with a modern ball valve to ensure full shut-off capability in emergencies or future plumbing service. A separate quote has been prepared for this work. ⸻

Upon arrival at the customer's residence, I knocked on the front door. The customer answered promptly and went inside briefly to put on her shoes. While she was doing that, I walked to the side of the house to inspect the water connections. I observed that the filtration system had been removed. When the customer came back outside, we walked over together, and I explained that while she currently has running water in the home, the filtration system has been deleted and she no longer has filtered water. The customer appeared confused and questioned the setup, specifically referencing the use of SharkBite fittings. I informed her that I would need to escalate the issue to management and provided an estimate of $750 to reconnect the filtration system and test the connection, which we originally warranted during a prior job. At that point, the customer accused me of having removed the filtration system and reconnected it incorrectly. I respectfully responded by clarifying that I did not

They have had issues in the past few months in the same line, she had another company come out but based off what she mentioned they did, it sounds like they didn’t know what they were doing.
