We then cut the water back on, drained out any debris at an outside hose bib spigot, and tested for leaks with no further issues. We also provided a cost estimate to replace the water heater with either a new 40-gallon electric customer-supplied model or a new 40-gallon electric Pride Plumbing supplied model.

After removing the rags from the flanges and installing new wax ring gaskets and toilet bowl bolts for both toilets, we reset them. One toilet required us to replace its tank-to-bowl bolts and gasket. Then we reinstalled their toilet bowl bolt caps and above-floor stainless steel braided water supply lines. We turned the water back on, refilled the toilet tanks, and tested for leaks and proper operation with no issues. We also provided cost estimates to replace both toilets with either new customer supplied models or Pride Plumbing supplied Gerber Viper models.

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.
