Simeon was very courteous knowledgeable and experienced. We do still have a slight drip from the faucet in the tub which Simeon explained that we might have. We will except this until we decide to go to single lever faucet.

Cody arrived with a ready to solve attitude and after diagnosing that a new install versus a repair on my 23 yr old water heater was the way to go, rolled up his sleeves and got to work. As I checked on the work, we had conversation on what was being done and why. He didn't talk over me in a technical manner, but met me on my level on the why and how he was doing what he was doing. It was a great experience.

All of the above. Job was done professionally but at a price. Expensive. Years ago when business was sole prop replacing a faucet with no complications (customer owned parts) cost was $150. This same job cost us close to $400. Granted it was years ago but cost just a few dollars less than other plumbing companies who do same quality work. We’ll still call them for future plumbing work but just being honest with cost.

When purchasing a new washer/dryer, we discovered a problem with the water connections that had to be repaired before installing the new appliances. We also had had a problem on and off for years with the drain system of the washer. Tim Chen to the rescue. He came in, assessed the problems and went to work. Cleaned everything up after his work, very professional and courteous. We’ve used several companies over the years who were just “okay”. No more of that - will be calling Tim Chen when problems arise.

Left quote for prv’s and water heater replacement. Water pressure is at 150 psi.
Blockage upon arrival, customer stated he finished his basement himself and now nothing will drain. After looking around basement could not find a sewage ejection pump or pit. Informed customer we could run the camera and see where the sewer line runs. Gave customer estimate, customer declined estimate
Water line leaking upon arrival, customer stated they had American leak detection out and they located the leak underneath the side walk. Informed customer we could dig up on both sides of the side walk and replace that section with no warranty or we could replace the entire line with a 5 year warranty. Gave customer estimate, customer declined estimate
For this customer, they are selling their residence and the realtor recommended for them to replace the water heater with a tankless or tank water heater. However, the tankless wouldn’t be a great option considering it. It is a fully electric house so I recommended to go tank for tank rather than trying to do an electric tankless Without a mind. Gave an estimate for tank with the grant for pump either replaced or not replaced or just reinstalled with that in mind it is on a second floor so I would have to charge an additional time to get it installed and bring everything up to code at this time. The homeowner will speak with their spouse in order to see when they would like to get it done at this time is estimate only.
Came back out to insulate the water pipes on the water heater and fire caulked the water line penetration holes through the walls.
Customer stated that shower was having high-pressure. Stated to customer that shower has better flow since Cody cleaned out all debris inside showerhead. Also stated a customer that if the pressure is too much, she can replace the showerhead and with the new flow restrictions in the new showerhead the flow will be lower. Also test water pressure water pressure was at 70 psi lowered it to about 60 to 65 psi. Also mention Chen membership to customer.
Returned to install customer supplied parts for Rheem tankless. Installed new motherboard and new blower motor. Reconnected all wires on the new motherboard and fired up unit. Unit is no longer throwing error code and the customer has hot water again. Unit is working properly and no leaks upon departure
Customer had an appliance company come to install a new dishwasher and they stated they couldn’t due to the shutoff and drain not being in the same floor. Cut and capped the drain and water line below, and installed a new stop and dishwasher wye under the kitchen sink. Tested all work to ensure proper function and no leaks, none were found.
Came out today to complete the work previously quoted. We repiped the newly installed by another contractor nat gas water heater, adding new ball valve shutoff and proper support for the thermal expansion tank per code. Got rid of the 2 leaky valves by the water heater on cold side. We also got rid of the copper gas line as it is not allowed anymore, and replaced with a coated gas flex per code. The water pressure on the home was over 100 psi with the safe range being 50-79 psi. To resolve this issue, we replaced the failed pressure reducing valve in that same room as the water heater with new 3/4” watts pressure reducing valve, and set home pressure to 60 psi. As far as the leaking ice maker line from before. I pulled the fridge out to see what would be needed to run a new line for the ice maker, and found the old copper line was capped and not hooked up to anything. No further work needed there until client decides they want to add an ice maker box/shutoff. All work has 1 yr war
Came out today to replace the 50 gal nat gas water heater in garage. We took off old stand, and sat new unit on ground in a drain pan per code. We replaced the old ball valve shutoff with new ball valve, replaced the thermal expansion tank with new properly supported thermal expansion tank. Also replaced the gas fittings and installed proper coated gas flex. We also replaced the old 3/4” pressure reducing valve on the main water line coming into home and feeding the rest of the home. Tested all connections, no issue and water heater is running as it should be. 6 yr manufacturer warranty 2 yr parts and labor on water heater 1 yr parts and labor warranty on pressure reducing valve Water heater inspection scheduled for next Tuesday 12/23/25 $300 credit added to account.
Came out to property for various leaks on the water system inside the home. There was a leak coming from the attic causing some damage to the ceiling below. There were 2 leaks on the cold side of the Week old water heater, one on the ice maker shutoff valve, and one on the cold water shutoff to the water heater. We checked homes water pressure and it was almost 100 psi, which is a good bit higher than that 79 psi threshold. Safe range is 50-79 psi. To correct this pressure issue, the pressure reducing valve in the garage closet where water heater is will to be replaced. The 2 leaks on the water heater should have been replaced with the week old water heater, but evidently were not. Also the gas line for the water heater is copper, and should not be copper per code. Left estimates to replace the failed pressure reducing valve and also to repipe that cold side of the new water heater with proper fittings and valves. Today we got the leak in the attic stopped. I cut out the ice maker
Rheem tankless not working upon arrival. Customer stated they are no longer getting hot water. After getting unit to fire up found the tankless throwing error code 61. Informed customer we could take the blower motor out and make sure there were no obstructions and reinstall it to test it. Gave customer estimate to clean blower motor. Customer approved estimate. Uninstalled and reinstalled blower motor and tested system. System was still throwing error code 61. Called Rheem tech support and they stated they would send a new mother board and a new blower motor. Informed customer it would be an additional $485 to install the parts. Informed customer we would honor the membership for the full $1,100 if she wanted to the next time so that new price for installing the new parts would be $385 plus the $20 for the first month of the membership.
Customer had low flow in the upstairs and had concerns over Grundfos recirculation pump making noise. Informed the customer after completing diagnosis that the upstairs aerators and shower head were heavily clogged. Removed the debris to restore flow. Turned the pressure in the house up to 70 per customer request and installed a tee and valve after the Grundfos pump to properly bleed the air from the system (the existing system didn’t have a way to safely bleed the air). This was done because the pump was airlocked and not quickly bringing water upstairs. Installed the tee as a courtesy to the customer. Customer was concerned the pump would need replacement but this is not necessary at this time since the pump is only a few years old. Went over all finding and work done with the customer. Ensured customers questions were answered and concerns were addressed. Customer was satisfied with both the findings and the solutions.
Customer had a leak in basement coming from one inch double union prv. Checked house pressure at 120+ psi. Tested the thermal and it had failed. Noted to customer that the water heater was over 10 years old. Recommended proactive replacement of the heater, a new thermal expansion tank, and a new 3/4 prv. Customer approved. Installed a new heater, thermal, and shutoff in the garage. Reconnected to the existing line for the return line. Installed a new prv in the basement. Tested all work to ensure proper function and no leaks. None were found.
