Emergency Hot Water Line Repair I responded to an emergency call involving the hot water supply at the complex. To safely complete the repairs, I shut down the building's boiler system and temporarily isolated the hot water supply. I removed the existing hot water shutoff valves and installed two new angle stops. I also extended the existing copper hot water supply line serving the dishwasher to accommodate a new angle stop, providing a proper connection and allowing the water supply to be shut off independently for future service. Once the plumbing modifications were completed, I restored the hot water supply and checked the new valves and copper connections for leaks and proper operation.

Three-Compartment Sink Drain Clearing I accessed the clogged drain through the top of the last sink in the three-compartment sink assembly and ran my drain cable through the line to clear the stoppage. While clearing the drain, I pulled back stir sticks and a metal spring that were contributing to the blockage. I also retightened the 1-1/2-inch brass drain nut to secure the existing connection.

Customer-Supplied Garbage Disposal Installation I removed the existing garbage disposal from underneath the kitchen sink and installed a new customer-supplied garbage disposal. I connected the new disposal to the existing plumbing and electrical connections, then ran water and operated the unit to verify proper function and check for leaks.

I conducted a thorough backflow test on the 2-inch PVB assembly, ensuring its integrity and functionality. The test involved checking for any reverse flow of water, which could compromise the system. After a detailed inspection and testing, the assembly successfully passed the backflow test, confirming its reliability and adherence to safety standards. This ensures the system operates efficiently and safely.

Kitchen Sink Drain Clearing I accessed the clogged kitchen drain through the top of the kitchen sink and ran my 1/4-inch cable through the drain line. I had to work the cable through the line multiple times to break through and clear the stoppage. Once the blockage was cleared, I ran water through the kitchen sink to confirm the drain was flowing properly.

I removed the old, non-operational tankless water heater located on the south side of the home and installed a new A.O. Smith tankless water heater. I reworked the existing hot and cold water piping and installed new hot and cold isolation valves. I also installed a new condensate drain line, reworked the gas piping, and added a new gas shutoff valve for the water heater. I installed the electrical outlet needed to power the new unit and completed the necessary water, gas, condensate, and electrical connections. Once everything was connected, I started the new tankless water heater and checked the accessible connections for leaks and proper operation. The old tankless water heater and work-related debris were removed and hauled away.

Remove and replace approximately 30 feet of the existing 2-inch galvanized kitchen sink waste line underneath the home. Drywall underneath the kitchen sink will be opened as needed to locate and access the existing drain and vent piping. The dishwasher may also need to be removed to provide proper access.

All new piping will be properly secured underneath the home. Upon completion, the work area will be cleaned and the removed galvanized piping will be hauled away.

Delta Tub & Shower Valve Installation I shut off the main water supply and removed the existing tub and shower valve. I installed a new Delta tub and shower valve with a chrome trim kit and completed the necessary plumbing connections. Once the water was restored, I operated the new valve to check the hot and cold water, temperature control, and tub/shower function and inspected the connections for leaks.

Area Drain Hydro Jetting & Drainage System Inspection I hydro jetted the area drain catch basins near the east-side restrooms, working the jetting hose back and forth through the lines to clear accumulated debris. During the service, I discovered that the catch basin was not connected to the main drainage system. Instead, water was discharging into the surrounding grass area. I ran a sewer camera to locate the existing 8-inch PVC drain line and determine where the area drains could be connected. A separate estimate will be prepared to cut into the existing drainage piping and connect the area drains to the 8-inch line.

I investigated a reported shower backup that occurred when water was being used in the garage and kitchen. To try to reproduce the problem, I ran water through the utility sink, kitchen sink, and shower for an extended period while monitoring the drainage system. During testing, the shower did not back up or overflow, and no water was observed coming from the exterior cleanout. I was unable to recreate the reported drainage issue during the service visit. I advised the customer to contact us if the problem occurs again so the drainage system can be evaluated while the issue is actively happening.

I recently completed a professional installation of a premium AO SMITH 50-gallon gas water heater. The installation involved securing new earthquake straps to ensure seismic safety, as well as installing a new gas flex connector, gas drip leg, and gas cock. Fresh hot and cold water supply lines were also added. Additionally, a thermal expansion tank was installed to safeguard the plumbing system. The temperature and pressure relief line was properly reconnected, and the old water heater was removed and hauled away along with all related debris. This comprehensive service is backed by a one-year workmanship warranty, and the water heater itself comes with a six-year manufacturer warranty.

I performed hydro jetting on a 3-inch area drain, meticulously removing accumulated dirt and root intrusion that had compromised its functionality. Using specialized equipment, I navigated the jetter through the line, ensuring thorough cleaning. Multiple passes were made to dislodge and flush out debris, significantly improving the drainage. The process involved careful maneuvering to avoid damaging the piping while effectively restoring its efficiency. The result was a clean, unobstructed drain, enhancing the overall performance of the affected area.

Main Sewer Line Stoppage I responded to a sewer backup affecting the tub/shower and toilet. I tested the kitchen drain and the other sinks in the home to help isolate the problem and confirmed that the backup was being caused by a main sewer line stoppage. I located the existing sewer cleanout in the front yard and used it to access and clear the mainline blockage. Once the stoppage was cleared, I ran water and tested the plumbing fixtures throughout the home. The main sewer line was draining properly, and the affected fixtures were functioning normally at the completion of service
