Client called us out due to their drain line backing up on left side of home. After some investigation, I discovered that every bit of the pvc drain work in that section of crawlspace is incorrect. Also was able to see the main sewer line outside is still cast iron pipe. Clients system was only backing up when the new washing machine was ran. This makes sense as there is a blockage, whether it’s roots in the line or a collapsed pipe, and the fixtures that don’t put out a lot of water into drain system will not fill the pipe up and slowly drain through and not cause a backup, but when high volumes of water are put down the system is backs up into the shower. More than likely there is a blockage in the main cast iron line whether out in the yard or still in crawlspace we do not know. When we opened door to other side of crawlspace, I instantly smelled nat gas. There was some rusty gas pipe overhead tying into the main feed line. We turned gas off and repaired that leaking section of ga

With the water heater being 7 yrs old, and life expectancy being 8-10 yrs, it was decided best to replace the water heater which included the new properly supported thermal expansion tank with mount bracket per code, pumped up to match home water pressure of 60 psi.

Day of work. Sewer Reline: Relining was accomplished from six inch clean out in yard. Transition accomplished without incident. This includes gap that was previously noted from clean out repair prior to this work. Lining was able to be completed within a couple feet of city main under road. Unless there is old sewer lines hidden in walls, this removes the issue of old sewer line completely from the home. As everything else has been replaced with PVC. Video inspection shows good transition and cure. Two cleanouts remain accessible. One near the front porch and one in the yard. Filter details: Installed a Halo whole house water filtration system, with a secondary sediment filter. Secondary filter is intended only to catch carbon specks, and does not require maintenance or flushing. Filter was flushed and purged and is ready for use.

Call for sewer reclining estimate. Arrived and met with Ms. Andrea. Andrea states that she recently closed on the home and was informed that the sewer line is only partially replaced, leaving about half of the main as old terracotta pipes. Additionally, she had a few minor issues to check inside the home. I performed a camera inspection to check the pipes and found the following: Home in crawlspace has been mostly repiped, sewer and water. PVC main comes out of crawlspace next to front door (right side as seen from street). There is a 4 inch clean out. Halfway through the yard, towards the property line there is a six inch pvc clean out. Due to root intrusion I can’t determine how far the pvc goes after the six inch clean out. From that clean out there are root intrusions at almost every joint. Trees, power lines, and the road are all limiting factors on replacing the line. I believe re lining is by far the best choice. Additionally, I checked the pressure on the home and found it
