We flushed the toilet several times with no further issues. We also provided cost estimates to replace the toilet with either a new customer-supplied model or a new Pride Plumbing supplied Gerber Viper model.

We also dug down to the outside main sewer septic drain line outside the home’s foundation, cut it and added a PVC two-way cleanout, and covered up the hole we dug.

Pride Plumbing was called out due to every time the customer used their shower, the bathroom would get flooded with water. Also, very little hot water was getting to the shower. After doing a thorough inspection, we provided a cost estimate to cut an access in the shower wall and replace the drop ear along with the showerhead and shower valve. We also recommended that the customer have the shower resealed in order to ensure no further leaks behind the wall and into the subfloor. Additionally, the customer had a kitchen sink faucet that would alternate between producing scalding hot and lukewarm water. After inspecting the faucet, we determined that its interior rubber gaskets had deteriorated and provided a cost estimate to replace it with a new customer-supplied model. Finally, we provided a cost estimate to replace the pressure reducing valve (PRV) at the water meter due to high water pressure in the home.
