Pride Plumbing was called out for clogged sink drains in the men’s restroom on the second floor. First, we removed the P-trap on the far-left sink and ran a small sewer machine into the drain, but we couldn't clear the drain. Next, we removed a section of sheetrock behind the sinks and found a cleanout for the sink drains. We ran the sewer machine down through the cleanout and cleared the blockage. After the drain was cleared, we reinstalled the P-trap and ran hot water for 15 minutes to test for leaks and proper drainage.
Pride Plumbing came out and replaced a 10-gallon electric State PCE101OMSA water heater with a new 10-gallon electric Rheem PROE10-1-RH-POU water heater (this required us to install the new water heater, a HydraPro H10000 thermal expansion tank, ball water shut-off valves, PEX and copper water supply lines with ProPress copper fittings to the water heater connectors, and a brass drain valve; wire up the electrical connections to the unit, bleed the air out of the water lines, ensure that the unit’s temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve is properly vented, and set the unit to its appropriate operating temperature).
Pride Plumbing came out and provided a cost estimate to replace a 10-gallon electric State PCE101OMSA water heater with a new 10-gallon electric water heater (this would require us to install the new water heater, thermal expansion tank, water heater pads, ball water shut-off valves, copper water supply lines with ProPress copper fittings to the water heater connectors, and a brass drain valve; wire up the electrical connections to the unit, bleed the air out of the water lines, ensure that the unit’s temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve is properly vented, and set the unit to its appropriate operating temperature).
Pride Plumbing came out and removed a Zurn Wilkins irrigation RPZ backflow assembly and capped its inlet and outlet water lines.
Pride Plumbing was called out for three clogged commercial wall-mounted urinals. We used a sewer machine down through the urinals' drains and cleared the blockages. We also replaced one of the urinal’s Sloan flush valves due to it running constantly and not shutting off.
Pride Plumbing came out to replace two booster pumps. After cutting off the water and power to the pumps, we removed them and cleaned the pipe fittings and case heads. Then we installed the new pumps (Bell & Gossett Series e-1531 close coupled end suction pumps), made all the water and wiring connections, turned the water and power back on, bled the air out of the water lines, and checked for leaks and proper operation of the pumps.
Pride Plumbing was called out for an American Standard urinal that was leaking from its drain flange. First, we turned the water off and pulled the urinal from the wall. We found that its flange seal was gone, and its wall bracket fell off the wall. We reinstalled the wall bracket and then installed a new flange seal. We rehung the urinal and performed a master rebuild on the unit's Sloan flush valve. Finally, we turned the water back on and tested for leaks and proper operation with no further issues.
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 came out and performed the following work: 1) inspected the water supply line going to a Keurig coffee machine for leaks (our inspection did not find any issues with the unit); 2) inspected an Hoshizaki ice machine (after inspecting the unit, we provided a cost estimate to replace it); 3) provided a cost estimate to remove rusted and leaking galvanized piping from the building's water chiller lines and replace them with new copper piping and ProPress fittings and add ball shutoff valves; 4) provided a cost estimate to replace the Sloan valve and closet spud on a commercial toilet; and 5) provided a cost estimate to remove and replace the rusted and leaking galvanized piping and two booster pumps on a chiller unit (this will include replacing the piping with new copper piping and brass fittings and wiring in the pumps).

Pride Plumbing came out and rebuilt a non-working Sloan Flushometer flush valve on a commercial toilet (this included removing and replacing the flush valve’s diaphragm, vacuum breaker, and spud gasket). After reinstalling the flush valve, we turned the water back on and tested for leaks and proper operation 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 performed the following work: 1) after cutting an access in the ceiling, we cut out, removed, and replaced 20-feet of cast iron drain line with new PVC piping and fittings - connecting onto the existing cast iron drain piping with new no-hub couplings - and used a sewer machine down through the drain line to ensure that it was clear of blockages; and 2) replaced a leaking Sloan flush valve on an American Standard commercial toilet with a new one.
