For this service call, the homeowner reported a suspected leak originating from the attic. Upon arrival, two areas of water damage were confirmed in the ceiling of the primary bathroom. Inspection of the attic revealed leaks at two bathroom exhaust fan discharge lines; this condition had occurred previously and was only temporarily resolved at that time. The half-bath exhaust connection showed ice buildup at the transition from the plastic discharge line to galvanized piping, and the primary bathroom fan was leaking at the plastic connection to the unit, with sagging piping that allowed condensation to collect. After discussing findings with the homeowner, it was determined that the likely cause is reduced fan performance combined with uninsulated exhaust piping, allowing moisture to cool and condense before exiting the home. An estimate will be provided to replace both exhaust fans and to replace sections of the discharge lines with new, insulated metal piping to help prevent future
For this job, we came out to evaluate the copper drainage piping after finding two rubber Fernco couplings that were dry-rotted and in need of replacement. Upon further inspection, we determined that a remaining section of the original copper drain piping was still in place from a previous conversion to PVC. To ensure long-term reliability and proper drainage, we recommended replacing the remaining section of copper piping and properly tying it into the existing PVC system. In addition, we provided estimates for the installation of a laundry pump. The customer stated he would review the available options with his wife and will contact the office to proceed.

For this job, we replaced the faucet in the downstairs bathroom with a new, properly fitted unit to ensure reliable operation and improved performance. In the upstairs bathroom, We also attempted to clear the upstairs sink drain using Thrift to improve drainage. All work was performed to current plumbing standards, and the system was tested upon completion to verify proper operation. Customer would like option on a potential water softener. Boiler is leaking along with water heater. Mike is scheduled to come out tomorrow for estimates.
The scope of work included removing the existing copper drainage piping, S-traps, and the right-side basket strainer. We then installed a new 2” PVC drain line from the existing PVC connection to the kitchen sink, maintaining a proper 1/4” per foot slope and securing the piping at 4-foot intervals. We consolidated individual waste lines into a single code-compliant drain and eliminated outdated S-traps. We added a clean-out under the sink where space permitted. We installed a new shallow-cup basket strainer on the right-side sink using plumber’s putty and tested both sink bays for proper operation with no leaks. We installed a new dishwasher tailpiece with correct pitch to ensure efficient drainage. We installed new plastic tubular end-waste and P-trap assemblies. We installed a new Air Admittance Valve AAV to provide proper venting and improve drainage flow. We cut and properly capped an existing copper drain line—likely serving a dry well—near the tee fitting using a rubber cap to en
The customer expressed interest in having an annual service performed on their Buderus oil boiler and provided approval to proceed. I completed a full annual maintenance, which included replacing the nozzle, filter, and strainer, as well as brushing and vacuuming the boiler. The boiler was found to be very dirty. With the customer’s approval, I also replaced the smoke pipe, which was rusted and deteriorated, and installed a draft regulator. I inspected the system safeties and verified the boiler’s high limit operation; all components were functioning properly. During the inspection, I found the relief valve dripping due to a failed expansion tank. With customer approval, I replaced both the expansion tank and the relief valve, and routed the relief valve drip leg to the side of the boiler so the customer can easily monitor it in the future. After completing the repairs, I checked the system for leaks and verified that all heating zones were operating correctly. The system is function
Arrived on site to diagnose f11 code on Rinnai wall heater. After our initial inspection, we just offered to do a complete tune up which would usually allow us to find the cause of the error code. F11 is usually a no flame detected error. The tune up was accepted so we took apart the unit to get to the Ignitor electrode and flame sensors. They were fairly worn out and dirty. We cleaned them and provided and estimate to replace as this is likely the culprit. Bruce mentioned that he wanted to speak with his spouse before accepting the work to replace them. We cleaned them as well as we could and reinstalled. We then test ran the unit and checked for CO leaks and CO levels at the exhaust outside. No leaks or error codes present. CO levels in the exhaust were normal at ~20ppm. System is working properly at this time. However, we recommend replacing the Ignitor electrode and both flame sensors. Thank you for your business!
