Revised quotes

Came out today to complete the work previously quoted. We repiped the newly installed by another contractor nat gas water heater, adding new ball valve shutoff and proper support for the thermal expansion tank per code. Got rid of the 2 leaky valves by the water heater on cold side. We also got rid of the copper gas line as it is not allowed anymore, and replaced with a coated gas flex per code. The water pressure on the home was over 100 psi with the safe range being 50-79 psi. To resolve this issue, we replaced the failed pressure reducing valve in that same room as the water heater with new 3/4” watts pressure reducing valve, and set home pressure to 60 psi. As far as the leaking ice maker line from before. I pulled the fridge out to see what would be needed to run a new line for the ice maker, and found the old copper line was capped and not hooked up to anything. No further work needed there until client decides they want to add an ice maker box/shutoff. All work has 1 yr war

Came out today to replace the 50 gal nat gas water heater in garage. We took off old stand, and sat new unit on ground in a drain pan per code.

Also replaced the gas fittings and installed proper coated gas flex. We also replaced the old 3/4” pressure reducing valve on the main water line coming into home and feeding the rest of the home. Tested all connections, no issue and water heater is running as it should be. 6 yr manufacturer warranty 2 yr parts and labor on water heater 1 yr parts and labor warranty on pressure reducing valve Water heater inspection scheduled for next Tuesday 12/23/25 $300 credit added to account.

Came out to property for various leaks on the water system inside the home. There was a leak coming from the attic causing some damage to the ceiling below. There were 2 leaks on the cold side of the Week old water heater, one on the ice maker shutoff valve, and one on the cold water shutoff to the water heater. We checked homes water pressure and it was almost 100 psi, which is a good bit higher than that 79 psi threshold. Safe range is 50-79 psi. To correct this pressure issue, the pressure reducing valve in the garage closet where water heater is will to be replaced. The 2 leaks on the water heater should have been replaced with the week old water heater, but evidently were not. Also the gas line for the water heater is copper, and should not be copper per code. Left estimates to replace the failed pressure reducing valve and also to repipe that cold side of the new water heater with proper fittings and valves. Today we got the leak in the attic stopped. I cut out the ice maker

Rheem tankless not working upon arrival. Customer stated they are no longer getting hot water. After getting unit to fire up found the tankless throwing error code 61. Informed customer we could take the blower motor out and make sure there were no obstructions and reinstall it to test it. Gave customer estimate to clean blower motor. Customer approved estimate. Uninstalled and reinstalled blower motor and tested system. System was still throwing error code 61. Called Rheem tech support and they stated they would send a new mother board and a new blower motor. Informed customer it would be an additional $485 to install the parts. Informed customer we would honor the membership for the full $1,100 if she wanted to the next time so that new price for installing the new parts would be $385 plus the $20 for the first month of the membership.

Customer had low flow in the upstairs and had concerns over Grundfos recirculation pump making noise. Informed the customer after completing diagnosis that the upstairs aerators and shower head were heavily clogged. Removed the debris to restore flow. Turned the pressure in the house up to 70 per customer request and installed a tee and valve after the Grundfos pump to properly bleed the air from the system (the existing system didn’t have a way to safely bleed the air). This was done because the pump was airlocked and not quickly bringing water upstairs. Installed the tee as a courtesy to the customer. Customer was concerned the pump would need replacement but this is not necessary at this time since the pump is only a few years old. Went over all finding and work done with the customer. Ensured customers questions were answered and concerns were addressed. Customer was satisfied with both the findings and the solutions.

Customer had a leak in basement coming from one inch double union prv. Checked house pressure at 120+ psi. Tested the thermal and it had failed. Noted to customer that the water heater was over 10 years old. Recommended proactive replacement of the heater, a new thermal expansion tank, and a new 3/4 prv. Customer approved. Installed a new heater, thermal, and shutoff in the garage. Reconnected to the existing line for the return line. Installed a new prv in the basement. Tested all work to ensure proper function and no leaks. None were found.

Came out today to look at the 25 yr old 40 gal short model nat gas water heater on a stand in garage. No active leaks on water heater, but home water pressure is almost 120 psi which is much higher than the safe range of 50-79 psi. While replacing the water heater the pressure reducing valve will need to be replaced to keep the warranty on the new water heater in tact. Emailed estimates. Client will need to let us know when they decide to replace the water heater a couple days ahead of time, and we can get the permit pulled for the water heater. If permit is pulled, we may have to replace the vent piping for the water heater up into the attic, as the way it is currently is not “technically” up to code, but it is fully and safely functional. This would be additional cost on the customer if so. Extended 4 yr tank warranty available for $400 additional to current quote. Free estimate.

Customer stated that she was having a high water bill. Recommended to customer to have all toilets checked in customer agreed. Put dying into all toilets and also shut off water and spotted meter and didn’t notice any water leaking from the toilets nor from the main waterline. Eventually found toilet on bottom floor near kitchen was running. Found that house has two incoming waterlines one waterline that just services the bathroom downstairs and another one that services the rest of the house. Gave customer options for repairs on toilet and customer agreed to cap off-line going to bathroom on main floor. Tested and no leaks present at this time. Bathroom on main floor will not be able to work because water is capped, but in future can be reconnected. Also, this was first step and diagnosing high water bill.

Ran sewer machine and managed to clear a soft tissue clog thru a pulled toilet. I started by snaking a drain line and ran the sewer machine through but didn’t do anything the first try. I pulled it back and ran it a second time but the water level started lowering around 35 to 40 ft. And kept running the snake back and forth until the snake broke up the soft tissue clog thru and pulled back some tissue. Ran the shower and flushed the toilets a few times to ensure that it is working properly which it is and homeowner is satisfied with the service provided.

Homeowner states that they noticed water leaking from the ground driveway where it isn’t paved and turned off the main water line and called us out to fix the issue.

They told me they turned on the water and used the tub to shower and when they got done and went to the basement it was flooded and the bathrooms were full of sewer water. They told me that the septic tank was pumped out over a year ago and didn’t have any issues until now. I suggested to them either a band aid fix for the water line or a full water line replacement and showed them the difference in cost and what is needed. For the bandaid fix we need a leak detection and then once it’s located we dig and repair the section and we only warranty the new section of pipe if any other areas leak even if it’s an inch away from whe
