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.
