Pride Plumbing was called out to investigate the cause of a higher than usual water bill. Our inspection found two leaks - one under the house and one in the yard. Based on this, we performed the following work: 1) under the house, after shutting off the water, we cut out a leaking section of PEX pipe and repaired it with new PEX piping and fittings; and 2) outside in the yard, we dug down close to the home's foundation, cut out a faulty section of black roll pipe, and repaired it with new PEX piping and fittings. We also provided cost estimates to 1) repipe and replace the water supply lines underneath the home with new PEX piping and fittings; 2) replace the pressure reducing valve (PRV) at the water meter; and 3) to 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.
