Excellent Service At A Time Of Need!

I have been struggling with a rocking toilet for 1 year now ever since I had my bathroom remodeled. Every 3-4 months, the toilet would come loose, and I would have four different plumbing companies come out to fix the problem to no avail. Out of frustration, I conducted my own extensive research to determine the cause of the problem. After watching numerous YouTube videos on this, I called PDM. After talking with Rudy Mahalik, he concurred and what my research showed. He had one of his top technicians come out the very next day. Brad showed up on time as scheduled and was very professional. As he removed the toilet, he kept me in the loop as to his assessment of my situation. He also concurred with my research as to the best solution to rectify my rocking toilet. Brad took great care to fix my toilet and keep any mess to a minimum. After Brad left, my floors looked like he wasn't even here. SPECIAL NOTE: I had a new 1-year water heater that my research also showed should be flushed out every year. I asked Brad that while he was here, if he had time to do that job also. He made a quick call to the office, got the green light, and my water heater got flushed as part of the job as well. Everything worked out perfectly. I couldn't be happier. Brad, check off two jobs from my "To Do List".

Toilet repair. The compression nut on the backside of the closet very tight spot, had a drip on it, used my monkey wrench on it to get a quarter turn on it. Wait a little to see if water shows up on the nut. Water did show up after a while. I got some more on it, it’s tight, don’t want to split the nut, going to wait again to check for water. Well, maybe the third time is the charm, tightened it some more. Nope! #4 let’s see. Looks good, no more leaks! No charge. Took photos in customer file.

Air conditioning repair. The Trane AC unit is 22 years old. Found a faulty fan motor on the outdoor unit and a failing capacitor. No warranty because of the age of the unit. Their old unit is 2.5 tons seems small for the size of the house. I gave a free estimate for a 3-ton 14 seer AC system.

Pool heater repair. The Hayward swim pro pool heater is not firing up. Checked the volts to the gas valve, and I’m getting 24 volts. Used a mono meter on the gas valve, and I am getting 8 psi on the inlet side but nothing on the outlet side, so the valve is not working properly and needs to be replaced.


Brad  K.

Had to replace the main water shutoff valve before the water meter. Repipe to raise the water meter off the floor sill plate so the meter can be changed by the city. Also had to cut out the tub drain vent and repipe to have access to do the water meter repair work.
