He states that over the years they’ve had problems with slows drainage, and have had chemical solutions, as well as sewer snakes to clear lines. Hallway bathroom has tub/shower not draining, toilet and vanity both drain. Shower valve leaks from stems and through diverter.

Call for leak near water meter. Arrived and met with Jim on site. He states that the water utility service left a notice that he had a leak on his side of the meter yesterday. I inspected meter box after draining water. Meter nipple is brass, and appears to transition to a pvc plastic female. Home is ~50-60 years old. I could hear and see spray from the mainline side shooting towards meter box (video attached). Jim mentioned that he has performed a mainline repair on the pvc near the house foundation many years ago. I discussed findings with Jim and advised that there are two options to address the issue. The simple option is to perform a spot repair. This leak may be a result of tension and a plastic female adapter. A spot repair can be performed, and fittings placed to remove tension off of the line if found. Second is a waterline replacement. Jim mentioned no other issues, with the exception of the main repair before, and would not like to pursue this route. Today, Jim mention

Came out for a backup in the front bathrooms of the warehouse. All three bathrooms had sewage come up from the toilets. Received approval to,pull a toilet and camera/snake. Removed the toilet and found the drain was holding water. Ran the camera down the line as far as we could and found the blockage was right before the cleanout in the parking lot. They have ongoing issues with the drains in this old building and have had many back ups before. They stopped allowing their employees to flush toilet paper because of this. The cleanout in the parking lot is very old and has a broken test cap to cover the opening of the pipe. Upon inspecting the cleanout we found it full of dirt/grass/sticks/rocks. All this debris had fallen into the pipe and caused the blockage. We brought the sewer machine inside and snaked the line. Was able to clear the blockage and restore flow. The cleanout still has debris in it after vacuuming as much as we could out. Could only push the camera a few feet past the
