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 Additional Observations & Recommendations: While on-site, we observed that the main water valve is an outdated gate valve and is at increased risk of failure due to age and mechanical limitations.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

Upon arrival customer advised us that he had a potential leak from his toilet. He said the neighbor below him had a water spot on his roof.

Upon arrival to the location, I met with carol who showed me inside and took me to the back where the bathrooms were located. The bathrooms are back to back. When I arrived, there was a little water puddled around the floor drain as if it was filled. The women’s bathroom gets backed up first per carol. 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. In addition, I told her we’ll snake the line, and if I feel like we need to camera, we will to check what’s in the line. I showed her the estimate which she approved. Furthermore, after trying to go through the floor drain, and not having success, I realized the clean out in the wall and got it opened. After the first cable I was able to clear the blockage and all the water outside the drain and in toilet, dropped. I then noticed the women’s toilet had a faulty fill valve, which was adding to the pr

Scope of Work: The homeowner reported that a handyman replaced both the upper and lower thermostats and elements on the water heater last week. However, the unit is still not functioning properly. During our inspection: • We checked the electrical breaker and found it to be hissing and sparking, indicating internal arcing or damage. • It is possible that this faulty breaker caused the newly installed components in the water heater to fail. Recommendations: 1. Breaker Replacement: The homeowner must have the damaged breaker replaced by a licensed electrician before any further diagnostic or repair work can be safely performed. We also recommend having the electrician inspect the switch as it does not appear to be properly installed. 2. Water Heater Diagnostic & Rebuild (After Breaker Replacement): Once the breaker is properly replaced, we recommend performing a full diagnostic of the water heater. If any components were damaged due to the electrical issue, we suggest a complete r

Upon arrival the customer informed us that he had pest control come and they performed a smoke test from the roof stack. During the smoke test, the smoke started to come out of the guest bathroom. I had the customer call back the pest control company and have the technician Call me to confirm exactly where the smoke was coming from. The pest control company got back to me and didn’t have an exact spot the smoke was coming from, only form toilet it guest bathroom. I wrote an estimate to do a leak detection. I preformed a smoke test and found the smoke coming from the bottom of the toilet. After I ran the camera to check the pipes to make sure it was all intact and all the pipes are looking great. The customer said that they were going to pull and reset the toilet themselves.

Upon arrival we did a walk around of the house and took a picture of the emergency shutoff and looked for a cleanout. The customer showed us the master bathroom shower with the backed up drain.

Upon arrival to the location, we met with Nova and her husband. Nova showed us to the first bathroom which got backed up last night after she took a shower. They’ve been at the home for about a year and never had any back ups until last night. The second bathroom in the master bedroom was also bubbling and toilet would not flush properly. I asked Nova if the kitchen was also backing up, She stated she hasn’t used it since. We checked the kitchen sink to assure it was just in the branch that was picking up both bathrooms and not in the main line. Moreover, I explained it would be best to go on the roof and showed her the estimate, which they agreed to. Furthermore, we got set up and in between running the sewer machine it began to rain so we brought down some of the equipment and waited until the ran past. Hence, after a few minutes past, we carried on and after 50 plus feet of cable we checked the bathrooms and all was flowing accordingly. Single story drain clearing from roof vent

Upon arrival to the location, I met with homeowner Nelly who had to put her pets away first before opening the door. Moreover, she mentioned she just moved into the home 4 years ago and everything was newly renovated. One of her showers has been backing up, Nelly tried putting vinegar and other liquids to clear stoppage, she even bought a drill snake but she can’t clear it. Nelly stated she only had one stoppage in the past four years at that shower. The guy who cleared the stoppage then, mentioned there was construction debris in the line. I told her we would snake the line again, it doesn’t sound like there’s a problem with the line if it was once in the past four years. She stated she tried to snake it herself with the drill snake she bought and nothing happened, I told her I’ll be going through the roof with bigger cables. Furthermore, I got her an estimate for clearing the line and she thought it was too much. I told her it’s actually a very fair price, she mentioned the last guy

Excellent Service
John the plumber goes above and beyond, we’ve used him for several years, and his team never disappoints. Our service guy was Gary Brown this morning . Very polite professional and prompt.
Gary and his partner did a great job. I was happy to have the work done the same day. I was somewhat surprised at the price. $
All aspects of the service from my phone call with Jodie, (which was like talking with a friend) to having Jonah (friendly, great asset to your team) get the job done, was quick and easy. Price seemed a little high for snaking the tub drain, but all in all, a pleasant experience. Thanks!
From the first phone call from the appointment setter to the follow up call post service, this company was top notch and I would recommend them to friends and family. Adam was very thorough in explaining all of my options for a faucet replacement. After I chose, he explained what the process was and he finished the job confirming that everything was in proper working order. Any question I had they made sure to answer fully and I was very appreciative of that. Adam and his helper cleaned up the area and made sure that I was satisfied.
River called before arriving and arrived on time. He was 100% focused on the job. He exhibited a polite and friendly disposition. Quality workmanship.
Vince was quick and knowledgeable. Super helpful and I would definitely recommend. Great service. Thank you!
Very thorough! Was on time and answered all my questions! Did a great job!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an excellent rating. We really appreciate your business.
A little pricey, but on schedule.
My hot water heater had been leaking for almost 10 days so the situation was critical and very unpleasant. Chad came out, gave me a very fair price, was cheerful, and took the time to reassure me that it would all work out. He even took the time to clear some of the water damage. Thank you so much!
