The service was excellent but I was surprised by the bill. I guess it was OK. I am out of touch since inflation is taking a toll on me.
Response from PDM Plumbing, Heating, Cooling Since 1885:
Thomas, thanks for your kind words about our heating service! We're glad to hear that you were satisfied with Brennon's work. We understand that rising costs can be a challenge. Your furnace rejuvenation, replacing a safety sensor which if it doesn't detect a flame it shuts off the furnace to prevent a gas leak, a faulty electrical device that lights the burner assembly converting fuel into heat, plus a humidifier filter all adds up. We strive to provide the best value possible, and we're always working to keep our prices competitive. We hope to see you again for any plumbing or heating service! Thanks again for your review and for your trust in PDM!

28 gallon electric water heater is leaking. Replace the water heater, test, and clean up.
Furnace repair. Intermittent heat call. Found the ignitor and flame sensor very corroded and working intermittently. Also found the evaporator drain cracked and not attached. Discussed all options with the customer. They decided to join our maintenance membership and have both parts replaced and the drain repaired for now. Performed tune-up and safety inspection on furnace, tested gas valve voltage and pressures. Cleaned all pressure switch hoses and inlets. The system is from 1993. Providing a customer with an estimate for a replacement due to age. The system is clean, heating, and operating adequately at this time. Performed free inspections. The customer will have a spring/ac visit of 2026 remaining on the current plan.
Sewer and drain cleaning. The main sewer line backed up for the whole house. It is slowly going down. It is a 55’ run to get to the exit of the basement foundation from the toilet, and another 80 to 100’ from the foundation to the street. No cleanout visible outside. Something was here prior to me, and I tried finding a cleanout because the ground was freshly dug up. I will return tomorrow. If the line is clear to the rod from the basement cleanout, we will proceed; otherwise, we will need to use a rod from the basement cleanout. I told the customer not to use anything in the house. Returned today to the rod and sewer line, which had drained. Was able to get the line open, but after a camera of the like, there is a major issue with water standing in 4’ line from the end of the foundation to a 4x6” tie in roughly 6
Furnace repair. Added support to filter rack.
Commercial HVAC repair. Removed and clean burner ignition assembly and intake filters. The heater is now working. Removed and cleaned the filter, sensor, and ignition assembly. Removed and clean sight glass. Adjusted the gas pressure regulator on another unit. The tube heating system has 3 burners and 1 exhaust fan that runs the system. The heating system is 20 years old, but new burners are available. I will work up an estimate. All 3 burners are working at this time.
Commercial toilet repair. There was no wall leak, but 6 flushometers need to be rebuilt. Install two high back-pressure vacuum breakers on water closets in the men’s bathroom. They’re still slightly leaking, but Tim says it’s fine. If they want it fixed, we may need to replace the vacuum breaker tubes. Also installed a 1 1/4” pipe clamp on the boiler condensate line.
Commercial heating repair. Intake blockage was the original call code on the heater. Cut out intake from the system, checked on the roof for ice and blockage. Camera the intake line, blew out all aspects of intake and exhaust on the unit. Cleared all rust and debris from the intake, outlet, and all hoses from the pressure switches to the inducer. Ran a battery of tests on pressure switches for continuity and function. Called customer support. Went through tests and determined that it’s most probably a bad induction motor.
Traced out gas lines. Repair roof top HVAC unit. The unit that heats suite 203 thermostat is dead, and needs batteries installed in thermostat.
Sewer cleaning. Ran a camera through the sewer line from the floor cleanout inside. Upon arrival, 30’ of the line was underwater. Ran the power rod backwards from the manhole to break up the bad toilet paper clog. After doing that, the sewer line drained down except for a few feet right before the manhole, which is being caused by a belly. Recommend digging up and replacing.
Church boiler repair. Replace the fill valve, auto vents, and 2 pumps on hot water boiler systems. Add water to bring the boiler system up to 12 psi. The heating system is operating safely at this time Material used in
