Pride Plumbing was called out for a water leak in the yard - the customer had run over a homemade yard hydrant with a lawnmower.

We tested for leaks with no further issues. We also provided a cost estimate to replace the yard hydrant (this would require us to dig down and uncover and remove its water supply line, install the new yard hydrant and PEX piping going to it; connect the PEX piping to the existing outside main water supply line, pour pea gravel around the new yard hydrant, cover the pea gravel with new cement, and cover and tamp the new water line).

So, we replaced the vacuum breaker tube itself and solved the issue. We flushed the urinal several times to ensure that there were no further issues.
