Came out today to install the new customer supplied toilet in new addition above garage. Sat new wax ring and new closet bolts then sat new toilet. After securing and testing I added shim and caulked around the base. No issues. Client receives 2 yr labor warranty as a Win with Chen Member.

Explained volume vs pressure, the pipe size for the main water line from the meter to the home is 3/4 rather than 1in, so therefore there is a volume issue on how many bathrooms there are in the house (3.5). In order to have more flow, you’ll need to upgrade the main service line to 1 in rather than 3/4. That would be the fix for the volume. As for the water pressure, it is normal, it is at 65psi, the pressure only drops 5 psi when a toilet is flushed, when 3 or more fixtures are being ran the pressure drops to 50 psi. There isn’t enough volume of water to keep up with the demand.

Customer wanted to replace old 50 gallon gas water heater with new Navien 240A tankless water heater.

After install was complete, checked all areas for leaks and checked for proper heating of water in all areas of home. lastly, removed tank water heater.

Customer originally called us out due to a freeze related failure at next year hose. Inspection we determine the freeze caused the ball valve to separate, causing some water damage. While on site, we performed the thorough evaluation of water system as a whole.During this evaluation, we found both 264 262‘s water heaters to be extremely aged and recommended replacement due to the condition. Customer approved replacement. Customer’s mother occupies the the 264 side of the property. During evaluation of the unit, we tested the existing pressure and found the water pressure to be high, indicating that the PRV had failed. Customer approved PRV replacement new PRV was furnished installed and pressure was retested to confirm proper regulation within a safe operating range. Customer also opted to replace half inch shut off valve for exterior hose bib. However we did notice line was still frozen customer opted not to fix at this time. We did furnish and installed 250 gallon electric water

Client called us out due to a leak on their main water line under the concrete driveway. Client has 2 water shutoff boxes in their driveway, which is odd because most of the rest of the neighborhood only has 1. Sewer and water line seem to be running right on top of each other. The leak appears to be in between the 2 boxes, as they both are taking on water from the leak, but the downhill box is filling up way faster than the one by garage and can see the water flowing in from the front of that downhill box when water is pumped out. Gave estimate to bust up concrete and repair the leaking water line. Waived service fee.
