Pride Plumbing was called out for sewage backing up into the home. We pulled a toilet, used a sewer machine down through the toilet's flange, and cleared a blockage in the main outside sewer septic drain line. After replacing the toilet bowl's wax ring gasket and toilet bowl bolts and caps, and resetting and testing the toilet, the issue was corrected.
Pride Plumbing was called out for a water leak in the yard. We dug down and found a leak on a section of Schedule 40 PVC drain line coming out of a sewage pump tank - a gate valve had disconnected from the drain line. We cut out the faulty section of pipe and repaired it with new Schedule 40 PVC piping and fittings, connecting back onto the existing pump drain line with a new no-hub coupling. We did not replace the gate valve but advised the customer to use the PVC valve inside the sewage tank in the future.
Pride Plumbing came out and replaced a yard spigot that wouldn't cut off (this required us to dig down and uncover the base of the spigot and its water supply line, remove and install a new Simmons 800 frost-free yard hydrant and PEX water piping going to it; connect the PEX piping to the existing black roll 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.

Pride Plumbing was called out for a toilet bowl leaking at its base. We pulled the toilet and found that its flange was not only cracked but set below the height of the floor. We replaced the toilet flange, ensuring it was at floor height; replaced its wax ring gasket (with a new Mainline ML11580 model); reset the toilet; replaced its toilet bowl bolts and caps; and the toilet tank's above-floor braided stainless steel water supply line. We tested for leaks and proper operation with no issues.

For the shower, we found a loose connection on one of its water supply lines which we tightened and stopped the leak. For the toilet, we found that the toilet tank's flapper was deteriorated and not sealing. We replaced the flapper with a new Lavelle 3060BP red Korky universal flapper and tested the toilet for proper operation with no further issues.
Pride Plumbing was called out for sewage backing up into the home. We used a sewer tape down through an outside cleanout and cleared a blockage in the main outside sewer septic drain line. We inserted a camera into the drain line, and it revealed a backfall of about 6-foot in length. Then we replaced a bathroom sink's popup assembly and installed a new toilet seat on an AquaSource toilet. There was also an issue with the kitchen sink drain. The drain line underneath the sink was full of debris and grease. We used a ShopVac to remove the water, removed the P-trap, and cleared the rest of the debris (food) out of the line. Finally, we provided a cost estimate to trench a ditch from the town sewer tap to the home to expose and replace the main outside sewer septic drain line with new PVC piping and fittings along with installing proper cleanouts and fittings per code.

We advised the customer to contact the city to come out and investigate the issue.
