Pride Plumbing was called out for a water leak near a Rheem water heater. Our inspection found a pinhole leak on a copper pipe in the wall. First, we removed some drywall and cut out a short section of the leaking pipe. Next, we added a new 3/4-inch copper elbow and a short section of copper pipe. We then replaced the remaining section of the pipe going to the water heater with new PEX piping and stainless-steel fittings and added a new ball water shutoff valve. Finally, we tested for leaks with no further issues. We also provided cost estimates to 1) replace a kitchen sink's under-sink drain assembly, P-trap, and drain line through the floor to under the house in the crawlspace, and to where it ties into the main sewer drain stack, with new PVC piping and fittings; and 2) repipe and replace the copper water supply lines under the house in the crawlspace, going to the fixtures in the kitchen, at the washing machine, and in two bathrooms, with new PEX piping and fittings.
Pride Plumbing was called out for a water leak in the yard. Our thorough inspection did not find any leak or movement of the water meter. It was our belief that the water was from runoff due to the lay of the land. We advised the customer to monitor the area and provided a cost estimate to replace the home's outside main water supply line. We would trench a ditch from the water meter to the house to expose and remove the outside main water supply line; install a new 1-inch black roll and PEX outside main water supply line from the water meter to the house along with installing tracer wire; connect the new water line to an existing water line connection under the house and install a new ball valve main water shut-off and new thermal expansion tank in the crawlspace; install a new pressure reducing valve (PRV), ball valve, and check valve at the water meter in the meter box; test the new water line for leaks and working order; and cover the area after county inspection.

Pride Plumbing was called out for a clogged toilet. We used a closet auger down through the toilet’s flange and cleared the blockage. We flushed the toilet several times with no further issues. We also provided a cost estimate to replace the toilet with a new Gerber Viper model.

Pride Plumbing was called out for no hot water from a 100-gallon Rheem-Ruud G100-200 commercial gas water heater. Our inspection found that a liquid tight flexible metal conduit (LFMC) had become wedged underneath the unit's vent hood on top of the water heater and was preventing the damper motor from being able to turn the baffle. We dislodged the LFMC and used zip ties to secure it out of the way so it couldn't get wedged again. We then relit the water heater and it began heating the water properly. We also provided cost estimates to replace the unit with new Navien tankless models both with and without NAVICIRC recirculation pumps.
