Customer had a faucet leaking from handle in the kitchen as well as a leaking side sprayer. Faucet is over 10 years old and replacement is recommended. Customer also had a dishwasher to be installed. Informed customer we don’t do dishwasher installs, but checked the plumbing below to make sure that the stop and drain hookup was under sink and up to code. Checked house pressure in a safe range at 65 psi. Customer declined quote for a faucet replacement as a handyman will be asked to install the faucet when he replaces the dishwasher.

Came out today to perform the previously quoted cast iron repipe for clients 2 bathrooms in the home. Day 1 we did the back bathroom which was the problem bathroom. Got all the old cast iron dropped, then started running the new pvc drain lines to the 3 fixtures and vent, supported by plastic pipe straps. Pulled the toilet and replaced the flange, and we replaced the tee upstairs for the lavatory with a new ptrap. Sat the toilet back down then tested all work for front bathroom. All work was flowing as it should be with no leaks. Day 2 we did the exact same thing for the front bathroom as the back. Dropped all the old cast iron, then ran the drains similar to how they were originally, EXCEPT, instead of that front bathroom running all the way to back of home to tie in, we tied it into the 4” PVC main directly below that front bathroom with a 4”x3” combo fitting. Once all work was done, we put toilet down on new flange, and tested all our work. Everything is flowing as it should with

Call arrival. Customer stated there was an odor coming from the basement and guest bathroom upstairs. I looked in basement Saul customer had a sewage ejection pump, inform customer that smell could be coming from there due to the lid not being sealed all the way. I could not see any reason why the smell would have been coming from the guest bathroom. I informed the customer when we are not able to see why they are having issues with the sewer smell that we have to do a smoke test to see where the leak is coming from. Gave customer estimate to do a smoke test. Customer did not approve the estimate. Customer stated that it happened randomly and that she would give us a call if it continues to happen or get worse.

Client called us out today due to the old cast iron kitchen sink drain leaking from the ptrap which was located in the basement area below. The whole drain system is still cast iron and the way the kitchen was tied in was not correct. We cut the 3”x2” cast iron tee out and a little section of pipe. After doing that, noticed the old piping was all coated on the inside with corrosion and gunk from over the years. I grabbed my small ridgid flexshaft and cleared all that out that I could see from above the pipe. Sprayed water down, and washed it out as well. Replaced with new pvc 3”x2” sanitary tee and 2 no hub couplings to adapt to the cast iron. We drilled new 2” hole through the kitchen cabinet for the new 2” kitchen drain. Completely reworked the drainage pipe under the sink, added a new tee and added a new studor vent under the sink as well, even though I did tie the old vent back in to the main. Once all connections were made we let glue set up for 15 mins while we cleaned up. Ran a

I returned today because customer is still having height pressure issues. Informed the customer we would have to go to the next step of replacing the thermal expansion tank. Gave customer estimate. Customer approved estimate. I took the old thermal expansion tank out and installed the new one with a mounting bracket. I also add a hose bib in the crawl space to check the pressure coming in from the street due to them not having a hose bib before the orb in the home. I tested the system and system is working properly with no leaks or issues. The next step if the pressure keeps reading that high would to be to replace the flo by moen.

Client called us out today due to both upstairs bathroom showers leaking when the shower head was run. They are back to back and the master is an all tile shower, backed up to the 1 piece fiberglass tub/shower for the hall bathroom. To replace that hall bath shower valve, we would have to remove the fiberglass shower as it is all 1 piece, then replace the shower valve, then either install new fiberglass tub/shower, or client could do something different like tile through a different contractor at their expense of course.
