Pride Plumbing came out and provided a cost estimate to replace a leaking reduced pressure zone (RPZ) backflow. This would require us to remove the defective backflow; install the new backflow assembly with new gaskets, bolts and nuts; and test for leaks and proper operation. Once the RPZ assembly passes inspection, we will file the appropriate certification paperwork with Wake County.
Pride Plumbing came out and installed customer-supplied automatic soap dispensers at the kitchen sinks in seven breakrooms. There were also two clogged bathroom sink drains in the women's restroom on the first floor. We removed the sink drains' P-traps and drain lines going into the wall and used a sewer machine down through the drains and cleared the blockages. We then replaced all three of the sink's metal P-traps with new PVC ones along with one slip joint extension and tested for leaks and proper drainage with no issues.

Pride Plumbing was called out for a clogged cast iron drain line in the ceiling over a kitchenette. Our inspection found the drain line was compacted with coffee grounds. So, we used a ShopVac and a sewer machine with a cutting tip on it and cleared the blockage. Once it was cleared, we filled the sink up four times and ran water for 10 minutes or more and it drained properly.
Pride Plumbing came out to repair a drip pan's drain line on a gas water heater and to remove a saddle valve from a copper water supply line servicing the water heater and the kitchen. We first used a ProPress elbow fitting on the copper water supply line to make a new connection for the water heater drip pan's drain line. Then we turned the water off to the water heater and kitchen, removed the saddle valve, and used a ProPress fitting to connect the copper water supply line back together. After the water line was repaired, we turned the water back on, bled the air from the line, and then checked for leaks with no issues.

Pride Plumbing came out and rebuilt, tested, and recertified a leaking reduced pressure zone (RPZ) backflow. After shutting off the water, we removed and replaced the unit's cap, relief valve, check valve #1, check valve #2, and all rubber O-rings and gaskets. Once they were all replaced and lubricated, we reassembled the backflow, turned the water back on, and checked for leaks. We tested the RPZ assembly and it passed inspection. Pride Plumbing filed the appropriate certification paperwork with the county.

We used a Sloan 3317005 Regal rebuild kit and rebuilt the flush valve (replacing the diaphragm and vacuum breaker). Then we tested for leaks and proper operation with no issues.
Pride Plumbing was called out for a leaking American Standard commercial wall-hung toilet - it was leaking from its flange seal and Sloan flush valve. First, we removed the flush valve from the toilet and installed a new toilet spud. Then we pulled the toilet from the wall and cleaned the old wax ring from the flange. Next, we installed a new wall-hung toilet felt flange seal and reset the toilet to the wall. Finally, after the toilet was reset, we installed a Sloan master rebuild kit on the flush valve and tested for leaks and proper operation.
