Client has us out at his rental because the toilets are giving the tenants issues, the toilet in the downstairs hallway bathroom leaks from the tank as it’s cracked and the toilet in the upstairs bathroom runs but has been rebuilt recently. They’re both original to the home, also during my inspection I found the water pressure to be extremely high which is the direct reason the toilet in the upstairs bathroom is running and the client is having high water bills, there is also no expansion tank on the system. I presented options and today we went with replacing both toilets, as well as correcting pressure which was replacing the prv and installing an expansion tank. All work is done and water is back on with no leaks.
Customer was experiencing a blockage in hallway bathtub. No other fixtures were being affected. Water would slowly drain, removed overflow cap and ran k45 cable inside drain. Pulled back hair. Water is draining properly now.
Homeowner had us out today because their system is not cooling properly. Upon arrival we noticed that there is a Trane heat pump system from 2013. We noticed some biological growth on the inside of the coil. We also noticed that the disconnect for the unit has burned badly and could be a potential fire hazard. We also noticed that there is no flood protection on the system and the emergency drain pan is very rusted out most likely due to water being in it previously. We checked the refrigerant pressures on the outdoor system and noticed that the system is extremely low, indicating a leak within the system. We found a leak at the evaporator coil. We also noticed that there is an incorrectly installed capacitor, and the contactor is burned out. Based on our findings today, it might be time to think about getting a brand new system.
