Lin explained everything and adjusted the water levels to improve the flushes. Gave me some advice going forward.
Carl was very nice, very professional and did a great job!
Kim very professional. Did not hire John the Plumber due to their pricing.
Shane was very thorough and he explained all of my options.
Lin Deveau and his assistant were able to show up earlier than originally planned which certainly made it less stressful. They promptly replaced the two leaking water supply valves to our washer, thereby cutting the household water shutoff time to a minimum. This is the 2nd time I have used John the Plumber and will again. They are reliable, prompt and reasonably priced.
Vince arrived at designated time and ready with our preordered shower head to install - We liked his friendly attitude and appreciated his knowledge with all plumbing challenges - We added a couple of small jobs and he helped us out!!
Customer contacted us regarding a sewer stoppage at their unit. Upon arrival, I was shown an exterior PVC clean-out that was actively overflowing. I provided an estimate to clear the blockage using a K60 sewer machine, which was approved by the customer. After successfully clearing the stoppage, I performed a complimentary camera inspection of the sewer line. During the evaluation, I identified a section of compromised PVC pipe with visible root intrusion. I then located the exact area of the damaged pipe and provided the customer with an estimate for the necessary repair. While the sewer line is currently draining, I advised the customer that this is a temporary solution. The root intrusion will continue to worsen over time, and the affected section of piping will ultimately need to be excavated and replaced to prevent future backups.

Customer requested an estimate to repair a leak on a 2-inch copper hot water line. After evaluating the leak, I provided a detailed estimate for the necessary repair. The estimate was submitted to Leroy, the Maintenance Manager, who confirmed he will contact the office to schedule the repair once the estimate has been approved.
Customer called John the plumber out today because the unit below him is complaining about a water leak coming from above the guest bathroom toilet. Customer had a similar issue a few months ago, and that issue was resolved by replacing the toilet flange and wax ring. Unfortunately, this is not a similar issue due to the fact that there has not been anyone living in that unit for at least two weeks. And technician did not see the toilet running. So the leak may be coming from somewhere else. Technician gave the customer some options on a leak search but before a customer goes through with that option, customer would like to put dye in the toilet to make sure that it is not the toilet causing the issue.
We spoke to the homeowner over the phone after diagnosing the situation via isolated clogs in the tub and vanity. After receiving approval to snake the tub, we proceeded with the work. As a courtesy, due to the tenant being partially disabled, we also cleaned the tub, even though this is not typically part of our service. We tested the system afterward to confirm that everything is running properly and in good working condition. No other recommendations at this time, other than advising the association to descale and jet the drain lines to help prevent this issue from occurring again in the future.

We arrived on site to address the reported drain backup. Upon arrival, we witnessed large amounts of sewage escaping from the top of the toilet, which appeared to be the result of an overflow caused by usage from a main line stoppage. Work Performed • We ran a drain snake approximately 50 feet through the line and successfully unclogged the stoppage. • After clearing the line, we inspected the interior of the drain. • The inspection revealed heavy scale buildup and cast iron piping in poor overall condition. Inspection Findings • No observable cracks or breaks were present in the cast iron at this time. • However, the piping displayed severe thinning throughout the section we inspected. • The condition of the cast iron suggests it is approaching failure, and cracks or breaks may occur in the near future if corrective action is not taken. Recommendations • We strongly recommend having the drain lines descaled and then re-evaluated to determine whether pipelining or full pipe r
Upon arrival I was shown to a water heater that needed replacing. An estimate to replace the water heater and hot side valve with permits was signed. I couldn’t do it today due to the AC lines hanging too low so that’s being coordinated between myself, the homeowner and the head of maintenance to see if this will be done tomorrow or Wednesday. There is an electrician on site now to hardwire the customers electrical to the water heater. They’re aware that the breaker needs to be changed to a 20amp and the heater needs to be hardwired to a switch. A deposit of $1170 was put down towards the work.

We provided an estimate to perform a pull and reset of the toilet and replace the existing wax ring. This estimate was approved.
