Pride Plumbing was called out for a toilet bowl leaking at its base. Our tests and inspection did not find any leak coming from the toilet. However, there were a couple of issues with the nearby shower, and it was our belief that the water was coming from there.
Pride Plumbing was called out for a water leak behind a wall and a Gerber toilet needing to be reset. First, the customer already had the wall opened up and he showed us the pinhole leak in the copper pipe. We cut out the leaking section of pipe (with some of it coming up through the floor) and repaired with new PEX piping and fittings. Next, we pulled the toilet, cleaned and inspected its flange, replaced its wax ring gasket (with a new Mainline ML11580 model), reset the toilet, replaced its toilet bowl bolts and caps and the toilet tank's above-floor braided stainless steel water supply line. We tested for leaks and proper operation with no issues.
Pride Plumbing came out to repair a well. First, we pulled out the well's black roll piping and submersible pump. Then, after preparing a new pump assembly, we inserted a new Pentair P42B0005A1-01 submersible pump and black roll piping (with an attached torque arrestor and cable guards) back down into the well. Next, we replaced the well's outlet piping (with new PEX piping and fittings), pressure tank (with a new Goulds V60 HydroPro model), tank tee, 30/50 pump switch, pressure gauge, brass nipple, and wiring and used a heat shrink kit to reseal the well. Finally, after turning the well back on, we opened an outside hose bib spigot and drained debris out of the water line, letting it run for several minutes.
Pride Plumbing was called out for no water from a well. Our inspection found that the well's Myers MET38ABN jet pump was starting to burn up. We provided cost estimates to 1) replace the well's 30/50 pump switch and gauge, charge the pressure tank, replace the jet pump and wiring, and replace the well's outlet piping with new PEX piping and fittings; and 2) install a new submersible pump assembly (with an attached torque arrestor and cable guards) - this would include the pump, piping and fittings, wiring, tank tee, and a new well seal.
Pride Plumbing came out and replaced a sump pump's float switches. We dug up the conduit going from the pump tank to the control panel and then installed new conduit so that we could pull in the new float switches. After the conduit was installed, we pulled all the wires back into the control panel and made all the appropriate connections. Finally, we tested the pump for proper operation with no further issues. We also replaced a leaking 40-gallon electric water heater with a new 40-gallon electric Rheem PROE40-M2-RH95 model and installed a new Woodford 19 frost-free outside hose bib spigot.

Pride Plumbing was called out for two toilets not flushing. Our inspection found a Myers sewage pump lift station full of sewage. First, we manually pumped the tank down, and then we tested both capacitors and all the fuses on the control panel. Our tests showed that the two capacitors were bad and were not allowing power to the sewage pump's floats. We provided a cost estimate to replace the control panel. Since we manually pumped the tank, we tested the two toilets, and they flushed properly.
Pride Plumbing came out and replaced a leaking 38-gallon electric lowboy hot water heater with a new 40-gallon electric Bradford White lowboy model. This included removing and disposing of the old water heater; installing the new water heater, new ball water shut-off valves, new PEX and stainless steel water supply lines to the water heater connectors, a brass drain valve, bleeding the air out of the water lines, ensuring that the unit’s temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve was properly vented, wiring the water heater's electrical connections, and setting the unit to its appropriate operating temperature.
Pride Plumbing came out and performed the following work in the building's basement: 1) reusing an existing pit that the floor drains piped into, we installed a new Liberty sewage pump with no catch float; installed a new PVC drain line and check valve for the new pump along with a ball valve and union; installed a new Liberty NightEye alarm system on the discharge piping to help monitor the pump; and tested the pump and alarm for working order; and 2) cut and removed concrete to install a new catch basin; dug dirt out for the new catch basin; cut a hole in the existing pump pit for a 4-inch overflow pipe; installed a new catch basin and Liberty sewage pump along with a 4-inch pipe to ensure that the overflow pump comes on before the floor drains overflow; installed a new 2-inch discharge line to outside; poured concrete around the new catch basin; and tested the new pump system for proper working order.
Pride Plumbing came out and replaced a 50-gallon electric American E6N-50H 110 water heater that had caught fire 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. We also upgraded the unit's elements to 3,500-watt elements due to it being on a double pole 20-amp breaker.

After inspecting the issue, we provided a cost estimate to perform the following work: 1) jackhammer and dig out a 9'x9' hole in the basement's concrete floor, install a new Liberty sewage pump system along with gravel as a base layer and connect it to the building's existing basement drain; 2) leave the pit open for an electrical contractor to install the wiring for the new pump; 3) install 1-yard of concrete around the pump's basin after its tank has been inspected and approved; 4) jackhammer and dig out a discharge line from the new Liberty pump system to the building's outside main sewer septic drain line, install PVC piping and fittings and a backflow prevention check valve and union in the line, and hook up to it; 5) test the new pump and drain lines for working order; 6) backfill all ditches and replace the concrete in the floor after the work has been inspected and approved.
