Upon arrival I was shown to a toilet leaking from the tank. As I inspected it i noticed cracks on the tank and advised against rebuilding a toilet in this condition. I also found a seized emergency shutoff valve dedicated to this toilet and the main valve was an old gate valve. Informed the customer of the seized Valve and the risk and unreliability of the old gate style valves. An estimate to replace the main and emergency shutoff valve as well as the toilet was signed as well as an $800 deposit.

We met with the homeowner regarding an ongoing issue with his shower. He had already attempted to replace some parts himself, but the problem persisted. After assessing the situation, we presented two options: 1. Rebuild the existing shower valve. 2. Replace the entire shower valve assembly. We thoroughly explained the pros and cons of each approach. After consideration, the homeowner chose to move forward with a full shower valve replacement. Since he signed the estimate and provided a deposit during our visit, we extended a discount on the service. We are scheduled to return tomorrow—or based on his final scheduling with the office—to perform the shower valve replacement. Additionally, we recommended replacing the electrical switch on the water heater. However, the homeowner declined an estimate, stating that he would handle it himself.

Upon arrival, customer informed me that one of the toilets that I previously did some work on suddenly started running nonstop again. I advised customer that I would do a diagnostic to determine whether it was something that we may have caused or if it was a new issue. After diagnostic, it was very clear and quickly determined that the only issue was that the new flapper chain got snagged on a piece from the flush valve, causing the flapper to stay open. All I did was release the chain and loop it back up so it wouldn’t hang and get caught on anything again. I tested the toilet multiple times to make sure there were no issues and it clearly solved the problem. Problem was very minor and under warranty. Customer also asked me after I advised her that her heater was old to send her an estimate for a new hot water heater. I explained to the customer that the age of the heater is the reason why she is not getting sustained hot water for a long period of time as she is used to. Water heater

They tried to repair it after the fact but a day later, their repair did not hold. Brian currently has the water off to the home, and is looking to get repair done asap. The dirt was hardly backfilled and the pipes were partially exposed. He confirmed the configuration of what was in the ground, so I could give him a repair cost. In addition, he thought it was a little pricey but he agreed on the spot repair. Furthermore, we fully exposed the pipe and made the necessary repair. We then waited about 30 minutes to let glue dry and afterwards we tested to assure no leaks. In conclusion, we showed Brian the work and then backfilled afterwards.

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.

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.

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

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.

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. ⸻
