Pride Plumbing was called out for a dishwasher not working properly. Our tests and inspection determined that there were no plumbing issues with the unit. We advised the customer to contact an appliance repair company to come out and look at the dishwasher. We also provided a cost estimate to replace the dishwasher with a new one. This would require us to unbox the new unit, move it to the dishwasher space, connect its water and drain lines and test for leaks and proper operation. Once we are assured there are no issues, slide the unit into place, secure it to the kitchen counter, and install its toe panel.
Pride Plumbing came out and provided cost estimates to either rebuild (by replacing the cartridges) or replace a leaking two handle 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 possibly replacing the hot and cold water supply stops.
Pride Plumbing was called out for a clogged kitchen sink drain. We removed the sink’s P-trap and drain assembly and used a sewer machine down through the sink's drain line and pulled back grass. We then went outside and found a grey drain line exiting at the edge of the yard. We dug a ditch to assist the grey line in draining properly. After replacing the P-trap and drain assembly and testing for leaks and proper drainage, the issue was corrected. We ran hot water down the sink for several minutes and it drained properly. We also provided a cost estimate to replace the kitchen sink's under-sink drain, P-trap, and drain line through the floor to under the house in the crawlspace, with new PVC piping and fittings, and tie into the main drain stack.

We dug down and cut out the leaking section of pipe and repaired it with new PEX piping and fittings. We also provided cost estimates to 1) repipe and replace the water supply and drain lines in the crawlspace, going to all the fixtures in the home (the kitchen, one bathroom (toilet, sink, and bathtub/shower), a washing machine, and a water heater), with new PEX and PVC piping respectively; installing new fittings and supports under the house for each fixture; 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; and 3) rebuild or replace a shower valve.
Pride Plumbing came out and replaced a leaking 40-gallon electric Whirlpool water heater with a new 40-gallon electric Rheem PROE40-M2-RH95 model. First, after disconnecting its electrical connections and inlet and outlet water lines, we removed and disposed of the old water heater. 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. Then we replaced a faulty pressure reducing valve (PRV) at the water meter with a new Watts LFN45BM1-DU-PEXXPEX model due to high water pressure in the home and put in a new valve box and lid.
