Arrived to call for furnace vibration and blower ramping up and ramping down. Upon inspection I found no debris buildup in the blower wheel. With extended run time the blower motor itself would ramp up and down while the vibration would increase. The recommended repairs were to replace the blower motor and blower cage. With the age of the system the customer would rather replace. Next I performed maintenance on his other system. I cleaned safeties, performed a safety inspection, and checked amp draw on all motors. I spoke with customer about our Perfect Service Family Membership. We will stay in contact with the customer about system replacement as he would like a two stage Ruud to match his other system.

Customer does only have one thermostat. Went ahead to the look at the system. System ran for about two minutes while I was there, until high limit was tripped And the system was throwing out seven flashes which indicated that. Went to head and checked out. The filter was extremely dirty and the cars are tripping on the limit. Went ahead at this point and advise customer to run maintenance. Customer excepted. Checked inducer motor within range.

On Friday, March 24 at approximately 1 PM company came out to cable a mainline and do a camera inspection. There’s a house trap because of the age of the house. The camera will not go through it. At this point we’re trying to use a small cable to get that through to get it opened up at all my recommendation. The first thing is gonna be to jackhammer up the floor. Remove the house trap put an asshole clean out and the pipe the way it supposed to be so that we can get access.
I responded to the customers residence in reference to a main drain back up. Upon my arrival, the customer showed me to the basement which had standing water in an old toilet flange. I accessed a nearby clean out and cabled the line to approximately 100 feet. The standing water dropped at this time. The customer signed up for the perfect family membership plan which covered today’s services. A camera was run through the line and those findings will be presented on a separate ticket. Thank you for choosing LBI. Have a nice day.
Camera line after cabling and found one spot in clay tile that was overtaken with roots and dirt from break in clay tile. Left estimate for repairs. Line will carry no type of warranties till repairs quoted are made.
Company arrived Friday, March 24 of 2023. The customer is experiencing a massive sewage back up in their garage. Upon arrival company observed the customers plumbing and discovered two house traps in the home. Company attempted clearing the traps via toilet auger but was unsuccessful in removing the blockage. Company believes the blockage to be after the street side and unable to be reached do to the amount of toilet paper observed in the blockage and inability to clear from the house trap. Company will email estimates for removal to the email on file. Thank you for choosing LBA and have a great day.
