Fixed gas line with water in it in crawl space , no charge
For this customer took a look at what she had going on the biggest complaint for was BROWN water. The homeowner does have brown water, and I believe it is due to the main water supply to the home from the meter to the inside of the utility room in the basement With that in mind what I’d recommend for them to do is replace the main waterline however I don’t know if it is galvanized or copper. The homeowner believes it is galvanized and that is the reason for the brown water. Also doing our inspection the tankless needs to be flushed out and or replaced at some point, but I believe it needs just needs to be flushed as of right now along with that garbage disposal in the kitchen is leaking so I recommended to get that replaced as well. At this time. The customer wants to wait on doing the repairs to get things done that aligns with her schedule.
For this customer, we did the annual plumbing inspection took a look at eight different bathrooms, six different sinks, including the two kitchen sinks in the kitchen following that took a look at the bidet and the toilet in the master along with the shower to lavatory sinks tub, and shower Following that also took a look at the master on main. The two laboratory sinks, following the tub in the shower and the toilet did a thorough inspection of everything. Nothing came up on the list other than a loose lavatory faucet in one of the bathrooms upstairs so therefore I gave an estimate for that as well. The customer had a two way clean out for their sewer line. They had to clean out one near the HVAC unit and one near the driveway so I tried to camera the one in the near the HVAC unit however I was going into water about 25 feet so therefore I used the other cleanout to go backwards into the home and there were some soft tissue blockages that I’d recommended to get those taken care of just
Today we replaced a main water shut off valve and Prv in crawl space . We also replaced some CPVC pipe to the eletric tankless water heater and installed service kit which did not have it previously. We also fixed low water pressure for kitchen faucet.
Customer has 4 inch cast-iron line that is badly scaling on inside of pipe causing blockage attempted to clear line in various different ways, but was unable to clear. Camera line to determine severity of pipe, suggested to replace remaining section of cast-iron as parts of the house are already PVC. Will charge for today’s work. Cost of today will move into job for Monday. We’ll return Monday to replace approximately 40 to 50 feet of cast-iron piping.
Return to connect gas appliances after recent kitchen work. This was done at no charge as a courtesy for our maintenance member.
Quoted job and scheduled for Monday afternoon, discussed and signed up membership with customer too .
Return to install customer provided kitchen faucet. Removed failed American standard kitchen faucet and installed. Moen single handle pull down style faucet. Shut off valves were previously replaced this week, and pressure regulating valve has been checked. Installation of faucet was completed, and water tested. No leaks found. Pressure is normal and no blockages remain inside hot water lines.
Customer had a water heater that was 23 years old as well as an extensive amount of cast in encapsulated crawlspace that needs replacement. Left customer pricing for both.
Call to inspect plumbing and provide estimate ate for work. Discussed all concerns with Ms. Virginia. She has elected to replace the pressure regulating valve today, and I have provided all other information for the other projects here. Notes for plumber: Basement bathroom. Swapped shower head, issue resolved. Toilet very secure and installed well. Old style Kohler, repair parts obsolete. Drip at faucet (pressure too high). Install of kitchen sink will be on copper water main. Virginia states it is inside wall, so can be tied in to. Recommend new sink, as old one is plastic and will leak under load strain. Repair to existing sink can be made, but should wait to see if sink will remain. Master bathroom: three handle stem repair not feasible. Recommend replacement and drywall is already cut behind shower.. Cold side faucet is off because of cartridge failure or gasket failure. Pressure reduction may help, or Virginia has spare faucet. Attempted repairs would require liability note. 1
Remove existing toilet and furnish and install new toilet. Also install three new lavatory faucets. Upstairs in hall bath remove the existing toilet and hauled away. Furnish and installed new toilet. Also in the same bathroom replaced both 4 inch spread lavatory faucets. Tested all work and no leaks are present at this time. Caulked around base of toilet. Also replaced lavatory faucet in basement bathroom. In guest house was checking water heater and caused a leak on thermal expansion tank. Went ahead and replaced thermal expansion tank. Also customer approved estimate for us to return on March 13 to install a new water heater in guest house.
Returned and removed the old 50 gallon lowboy water heater and installed a new 50 gallon lowboy electric heater. Reconnected to existing water, electric, and t&p lines. Found a leak on the lower element from where a gasket pinched. Drained the tank back down and replaced the gasket. Tested all work to ensure proper functioning and no leaks. None were found. Waited for heater to produce hot water.
Client called us out due to some water in the basement, and some drains in the home backing up. We discovered that clients sewer line had collapsed under ground and was causing the sewage/water in the basement. We had to dig up and expose the collapsed line that was in basement area and under the asphalt driveway with good pvc pipe properly installed up to code, adding 2 cleanouts for future use if necessary and required by plumbing code. After replacing the collapsed line, we bedded down, then ran each fixture in the home to test our work for leaks and proper pitch. Everything looked great and clients issue is resolved. Unrelated to the collapsed pipe issue, we did a couple other repairs in the home per clients request. The water pressure reducing valve on the home was pretty old, and client decided to have it replaced as preventative maintenance due to them knowing the issues high pressure can cause. We added a new home water shutoff for client as well as a new whole home water
Customer stated that faucet was dripping, and also that toilet was running. Found that pressure was above 80 psi and recommended customer to have PRV replaced but at this time customer didn’t want to. So went ahead and rebuilt, toilet and repaired faucet. Tested and no leaks were present at this time. Stated to customer that there is no warranty on work today due to high-pressure. Will send estimate for PRV replacement and also water heater replacement due to age and high-pressure.
The customer complained about the toilet water level being low, and it’s not like the other toilets, the other toilets are 1.6 gallon per flush rather than 1.28 gallons per flush as a result it’s less water and there’s no way to add more water to the bowl.
