Pride Plumbing was called out for several plumbing issues at different homes. We went to the first home for a leak underneath a kitchen sink. We found a loose drain connection which we tightened and stopped the leak. We went to the next home for a water leak due to the water meter not being turned off all the way. We ensured that the meter was completely off and stopped that leak. At the third home, we found a broken glue joint on an ABS drain line. We reglued the joint, tested for leaks, and the issue was resolved. Finally, for the last home, we removed its water meter and turned it into the office.
Pride Plumbing came out and replaced a leaking 40-gallon electric A.O. Smith water heater with a new 40-gallon electric Rheem PROE40-M2-RH95 model.

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. We also upgraded the unit's elements to 3,500-watt elements due to it being on a double pole 20-amp breaker.
