Pride Plumbing was called out for no water pressure in the home. Our inspection determined that the issue was being caused by a faulty pressure reducing valve (PRV) at the water meter. We replaced the PRV (attaching it to the existing black roll outside main water supply line with new PEX piping and fittings and adding a ball water shutoff valve and valve box) with a new Watts LFN45BM1-DU-PEXXPEX model. We also provided cost estimates to 1) trench a ditch from the water meter to the home and replace the black roll main outside water supply line with new black roll and PEX piping and fittings along with installing a new pressure reducing valve (PRV) and ball water shutoff valve at the water meter; and 2) replace two leaking outside hose bib spigots with new Woodford frost-free models along with tying them into the existing main water supply line underneath the home with new PEX piping and fittings and adding ball water shutoff valves.

Pride Plumbing was called out for a main line stoppage - the floor drains were backing up in the restrooms. Upon arrival, we opened up the manholes for the hair trap and after inspection we decided it needed to be pumped. While the pump truck was on its way, we ran a water pressure jetter device in every accessible cleanout. After that, we pumped out the sewage tanks and the sewer pump. Then, things were still backed up, so we pulled the sewage pump and found that its check valve was packed full of hair. We cut out and replaced the check valve and tested the pump for proper working order with no further issues.
Pride Plumbing was called out for water underneath a 40-gallon electric Rheem lowboy water heater. Our inspection found that the home's water pressure was too high and that the water heater's temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve was malfunctioning. First, we addressed the water pressure issue by replacing a faulty pressure reducing valve (PRV) at the water meter (attaching it to the existing black roll outside main water supply line with new PEX piping and fittings and adding a ball water shutoff valve) with a new Watts LFN45BM1-DU-PEXXPEX model. Next, we replaced the water heater's T&P relief valve, ensuring that it was properly vented, and corrected the issue.

For the toilet tank, we found that its flush trip lever was sticking. We made an adjustment to the trip lever's chain and corrected the issue. For the water leak underneath the sink, we found that it was coming from the sink's faucet being loose. We tightened the faucet's screws and stopped the leak.
