Responded to customer report of a leaking exposed pipe in the basement. Diagnosed and confirmed kitchen drain line with a rusted T-junction. Replaced the damaged section with new PVC P-trap assembly, including elbow joints and unions, ensuring proper connections to existing metal drain component. Work successfully resolved the leak issue.
Performed annual maintenance tune-up on 8-year-old Amana HVAC system. Inspected ductwork and internal components. Identified stripped gas valve adjustment, which was replaced to restore proper functionality. System operational upon completion.
Responded to a no heat complaint in a vacant property with furnace short cycling due to overheating. Diagnosed multiple issues: inducer draft motor failing and causing improper exhaust ventilation, incorrectly sized filter boot restricting proper airflow, and excessive gas pressure in low fire (over 2" wc, above the 1.3"-1.7" manufacturer range). Adjusted gas pressure down to 1.38" wc, removed filter, and restored proper heat operation with extended run cycles.
Performed comprehensive furnace tune-up on 10-year-old system. Cleaned dirty flame sensor and replaced filter. Conducted gas pressure testing with dual port manometer, verifying proper operation at 15.7 WC supply and -10.1 WC draft. Inspected blower assembly and internal components for proper condition and functionality.
Responded to no heat complaint where unit was blowing cold air. Diagnostic testing revealed a failed control board. Successfully replaced control board, restoring proper heating function to the aging system.
Performed furnace inspection and tune-up service. Combustion analysis showed system operating at 87.5% efficiency with acceptable CO levels (5 ppm). Identified multiple critical issues including failing ignition components, oil leakage from blower motor, burn marks on control board, and contaminated secondary heat exchanger. Recommended either component replacement or complete furnace replacement due to the extent of deterioration.
Repaired a leaking ABS drain pipe in the laundry area that was causing water to drip into the mechanical room. Discovered a crack between the 4-way hub and 2" wye that couldn't be salvaged. Capped the 2" hub and installed a new wye lower in the stack to properly redirect the bath group drainage and venting.
Performed comprehensive inspection of reported gas leak at client's furnace supply line. After thorough assessment using detection equipment, no active gas leaks were identified in the system. Also investigated sewer line for reported root intrusion; visual inspection confirmed no current blockage from tree roots. Documentation photos taken of existing plumbing assembly showing copper supply lines, valves, and connection points in structural space.
Performed routine maintenance on 11-year-old Ruud furnace. Cleaned flame sensor, verified proper ignitor operation, and confirmed good amp draws on inducer and blower motors. System is operating safely with appropriate gas pressures, clean filter, clear condensation drains, and sound electrical components.
Diagnosed and repaired 10-year-old HVAC system that was failing to cool properly. Investigation revealed a faulty capacitor preventing the outdoor condensing unit from operating correctly. Replaced the defective capacitor and verified proper system operation with post-repair diagnostics showing appropriate refrigerant pressures (100.3 PSI suction, 151.5 PSI liquid).
