The existing plumbing system was found to require several upgrades to improve overall function, reliability, and serviceability. We proposed installing a customer-supplied utility sink with new PEX water supply lines, replacing the elevated toilet flange, repiping the toilet water supply, and removing the existing PVC ball valve and rubber coupling located in the ceiling. These improvements will help ensure a secure, leak-free plumbing system and provide long-term reliability and ease of maintenance. Water was shut off to the home and the system was fully drained prior to work. The existing washer connection and copper toilet supply line were removed, along with the outdated ¾” water connection. A new tee was installed, and a new PEX water line was run to the toilet using a HoldRite bracket for proper support. PEX caps were installed to allow for drywall installation at a later time. New hot and cold PEX lines were also run to serve the utility sink, with all piping properly supported
For this job, we responded to a septic backup causing wastewater to back up into the bathtub and leak from the base of the toilet. Due to the severity of the blockage, we recommended that Beards be called out to snake and clear the main drain line. The customer was advised that plumbing repairs would be completed after the drain was properly cleared. Once Beards completes the drain cleaning, we will return to replace the toilet with a customer-supplied unit and repair the leaking 90-degree fitting. All findings and recommendations were discussed with the customer on site to ensure a clear plan for corrective action.
I disassembled a shower valve and flushed it using a furnco and a pvc street 45. I then cleaned sediment out of the shower valve, cleaned and lubricated the o rings, and reinstalled it. Everything is working well with no issues present at time of service. Did not charge since it was within the scope of the previous estimate but due to time limitations was unable to be done.
Upon arrival customer had a dripping faucet, running toilet, and a fridge supply line that needed to be replaced. Tech adjuster fill valve to stop running I then removed the old copper supply line, increased the size of the hole, and ran a new braided supply line. Everything is holding well with no leaks present. Return visit needed to replace the faucet. Upon return visit customer had a faucet ready to be installed. I removed the pop up assembly on the drain and cleaned out the overflow. I then pulled out the sink since it was no sealed to the countertop. I removed the faucet and installed the customer supplied two handle delta faucet. I replaced the chrome supply lines with two breaded supply lines. I yesterday the faucet and there are no leaks present. Over the course of the service two issues came up. The trap was corroded and leaking and the shutoff for the cold water was completely seized up. Customer would like estimates sent for these along with the install of a lav sin
Customer needed a 4x20 sediment filter and softener installed. I cut into the existing 1-1/4” copper pipe and installed a ball valve to act as a bypass for the softener and filter. I then plumbed in the sediment filter with a boiler drain and threeway bypass. I installed the sediment filter and back wash drain in the main drain stack. I also added a 3/4” ball valve between the filter and softener as per the customers request. I capped this line to avoid any accidental flooding. I started up the system by bleeding the air out of the media and flushing it. I then set the settings of the system. I set it to 12 grains and a 28 day regen cycle. System is working well with no leaks present at time of service. Customer would like to pay the invoice via email and would like to get on the schedule for a service next year. https://entipur.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Entipur-OwnersManual.pdf
For this job, we responded to a report of a non-working garbage disposal. We manually unjammed the unit and restored proper operation. Afterward, we filled and drained both sides of the sink three to four times to ensure there were no issues with drainage or performance. The garbage disposal operated correctly upon completion, and the system was left functioning as it should.
We came out to the property for a no-water situation and found that the well pump was drawing high but stable amperage, indicating that the motor was running but water was not moving. Based on these findings, we determined that the issue was most likely a blockage or frozen section within the water line rather than a pump failure. The customer planned to place heaters under the house to thaw the line and will inform us of the results. If water does not return after thawing efforts, replacement of the well pump will be necessary.
I was called to a home to fix a slow-draining kitchen sink. Upon inspection, I found that the kitchen drain was clogged and needed to be snaked. While snaking the drain, I noticed that the dishwasher tailpiece was hanging on by a thread. I also noticed that the gasket was deformed. To resolve the issue, I installed a new dishwasher tailpiece and re-assembled the drainage. After snaking and re-assembling the drainage, I tested for proper operation and drainage, and there were no leaks observed at this time.
For this job I met with the homeowners to discuss the opportunity to install a utility sink in the basement bathroom. There is a toilet but no sink. There is an existing 1.5” drain pipe stubbed vertically through the concrete floor. The water supply pipes are exposed below the floor joist overhead. Homeowner is interested in repiping the copper with pex within the floor joist and repiping the toilet supply within the wall. Estimates will be provided for repair and/or replacing the kitchen faucet, repiping the water supply pipes in the home, replacing the well pressure tank, resetting the basement toilet, and installing a laundry sink Homeowners are interested in a heating consultation to replace and/or repair the heating manifold
Water treatment consultation The homeowners provided me with a water sample analysis from Endyne Laboratory. The homeowners are interested in a whole house sediment filter and any other water treatment that may be recommended. After further analysis of the water sample, estimates will be provided for water treatment. The homeowner is also interested in possibly flushing the residual sediment from the shower heads and/or shower valves once treatment is installed. The homeowners expressed they have witnessed a reduced pressure from the primary bathroom shower. This shower valve was not labeled, but it may be a Water Works shower valve. The homeowners expressed is recently built so the homeowners may have paperwork with make and models of the shower valve.
Arrived on site replace a failed #60 Expansion Tank and to replace the relief valve on the boiler. We started by isolating the boiler as much as possible and then drained it of water so we could remove the expansion tank and relief valve. Once drained, we removed old tank and valve and replaced them with a new ex-60 pro expansion tank and a watts 30lb relief valve rated for boilers. We then refilled boiler and purged the air before opening up the zones. Test fired boiler to verify proper operation. System is operating properly at this time.
