Pride Plumbing was called out for an Insinkerator Badger 5 garbage disposal no longer working. We first tried to spin the disposal, and it spun freely but would not grind. Then we tried to reset it, but it still spun freely. Then we plugged the disposal in manually and it worked and that let us know that there was an issue with unit's air box. So, we provided a cost estimate to replace the air actuated switch for the disposal.
Pride Plumbing was called out for a clogged toilet. We used a closet auger down through the toilet’s flange along with plunging it several times and cleared the blockage.
Pride Plumbing was called out for a blockage on the outside main sewer septic drain line. The customer stated that the drain's cleanout cap had been blown off by wastewater backing up in it. After running water for several minutes from most of the fixtures in the home, no stoppage presented itself to us. We believed the blockage had cleared on its own due to the pressure of the wastewater.
Pride Plumbing was called out for a water leak in the yard. When we arrived, the town had already marked the leak and turned the water off at the water meter. We had to dig to uncover the water meter, but once it was uncovered, we found a ball valve and galvanized fittings on a black roll pipe that had rusted and were causing the leak. We cut out all of the old pipe and fittings and replaced them with a new pressure reducing valve (PRV) and ball water shutoff valve, and PEX piping and fittings. Once the repair was completed, we turned the water back on and tested for leaks with no issues. We also provided a cost estimate to trench a ditch from an existing water meter to the home and replace the black roll main outside water supply line with new black roll and PEX piping and fittings along with installing a new pressure reducing valve (PRV) and ball water shutoff valve at the water meter.
Pride Plumbing was called out for a water leak in a garage. We found a leak on a section of copper water supply line. We cut out the faulty section of pipe and repaired it with new PEX piping and fittings.
Pride Plumbing was called out for sewage backing up into the home. We were unable to clear the line using a water pressure device, so we dug down outside the home's foundation, exposed the outside main sewer septic drain line, cut into the line, installed a new two-way PVC cleanout with a cap (connecting it to the existing outside main sewer septic drain line with new PVC fittings and a Fernco coupling), and covered the hole after installation. After removal, we found a cap and pine comb lodged in the drain line which had been causing the stoppage.
Pride Plumbing was called out for a water leak in the yard at inside a valve box near a pressure reducing valve (PRV). We found the leak on a check valve after the PRV connected to the outside main water supply line. We cut out the check valve and a small section of pipe and repaired them with new PEX piping and fittings, completely removing the check valve.
Pride Plumbing came out and provided a cost estimate to install a new E/One sewage pump. This would require us to: 1) call in our septic pump truck and pump out an existing sewer tank; 2) set the new EOne sewer pump into the tank; 3) make the proper drain line and vent connections; 4) install check and ball valves on the discharge and vent lines; 5) run electrical wiring out of the top of the lid for the electrician to wire the pump into its control panel; and 6) after the unit is properly wired, test it for proper operation.
Pride Plumbing was called out for a Liberty P382LE41/A2 sewage pump alarm going off. We removed the pump's lid and found that the pump's floats were covered in grease. We used a water hose and sprayed off the grease the best we could, and the pump began working properly.
Pride Plumbing came out and provided cost estimates to replace a centerset kitchen sink faucet with either a new customer supplied model, or a new Pride Plumbing supplied Mainline, Olympia, or Delta model. This would include removing the old faucet, mounting the new faucet, and replacing its hot and cold above-floor water supply lines underneath the sink with new braided stainless-steel ones along with replacing the hot and cold water stops.
Pride Plumbing was called out for a water leak underneath a bathroom sink. Our inspection found that the threads where the popup assembly connects to the P-trap was missing thread seal tape. We disconnected the P-trap and added thread seal tape. After reassembling the P-trap to the popup assembly, we tested for leaks with no further issues. We provided a cost estimate to replace the P-trap and drain assembly underneath the sink.
Pride Plumbing came out and installed five Safe-T-Cover enclosures on concrete pads and FloLogic automatic water shutoff valves for leak detection. This required us to 1) dig down to the main outside water supply line near each water meter; 2) cut into the water lines and connect and run Schedule 40 PVC pressure piping over to the locations of the concrete pads; 3) connect PEX piping to the PVC piping and stub it up; 4) level the areas and set the concrete pads; 5) connect the smart valves to the PEX piping; 6) install the enclosures onto the concrete pads; and 7) wrap thermal cord around the pipes to provide the heat. We had to use an Hymax Grip coupling on the last valve's water line due to an issue with water flow. Once completed, we filled in any remaining holes we dug and spread grass seed and straw.
Pride Plumbing was called out for two stoppages in the home - a clogged bathtub/shower and a clogged branch line on the other side of the home. We used a plunger and unclogged the bathtub/shower. Then we used a sewer machine down through a bathroom sink's drain line and cleared the blockage in the branch line. We provided cost estimates to 1) replace the bathroom sink's P-trap, drain and drain line through the floor to under the house in the crawlspace, and to where it ties into the main sewer drain stack (branch line), with new PVC piping and fittings; and 2) 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.
