Pride Plumbing came out and replaced a leaking 40-gallon electric Whirlpool water heater with a new 40-gallon electric Rheem PROE40-M2-RH95 model. First, after disconnecting its electrical connections and inlet and outlet water lines, we removed and disposed of the old water heater. Then we installed the new water heater, ball water shut-off valves, PEX and stainless-steel water supply lines to the water heater connectors, a brass drain valve, and wired up the electrical connections to the new water heater. Finally, we bled the air out of the water lines, ensured that the unit’s temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve was properly vented, and set the unit to its appropriate operating temperature. We also provided a cost estimate to repipe and replace the water supply lines under the house in the crawlspace, going to the fixtures in the kitchen, at the washing machine, and in three bathrooms, with new PEX piping and fittings.
Pride Plumbing was called out for low water pressure from a well. Our inspection determined that the well's 110V submersible pump had gone out. We pulled out the well's black roll piping and submersible pump. Then, after preparing a new pump assembly, we inserted a new customer-supplied Countyline CLA201-13 240V submersible pump and black roll piping (with an attached torque arrestor and cable guards) back down into the well. Then we set the pressure tank's pressure, tested the pump, and used a heat shrink kit to reseal the well. We then opened an outside hose bib spigot and drained debris out of the water line, letting it run for several minutes.
