**Heating & Cooling System Inspection – Attic System #2** Technician arrived for a no-cool concern and performed a heating and cooling system inspection. The system is a **2016 Carrier furnace paired with a 2022 Rheem 2.5-ton air conditioner**, located in the attic. During the inspection, the technician found several maintenance and condition concerns, including a dirty outdoor condenser coil, dirty blower wheel, dirty air filter, blower capacitor testing out of tolerance, an improperly configured condensate drain line, lack of standard flood protection, and evidence that the system has not been receiving regular maintenance. As part of today’s service, the technician **cleaned the outdoor condenser coil** to improve heat transfer and system performance. The technician also **rebuilt the condensate drain line to provide proper slope and drainage**, helping reduce the potential for standing water and future drainage issues.

Upon arrival, met with customer and spoke with her regarding their issue. Customer states they have been experiencing a leaking shower for a while and the shower also completely stopped draining recently. Customer also has a slow draining lavatory sink. All these fixtures are in the master bathroom upstairs. I confirmed the clogged fixtures are isolated and not affecting the entire bathroom group. The shower valve is a delta 17/17t thermostatic valve and has a unique cartridge. Cartridge is a Delta rp47201. Customer will order a new cartridge and I will return to install it when it arrives. Gave customer options to clear the drains and after getting signature approval I began work. Ran flexshaft machine down shower drain and cleared large hair blockage inside the p trap. Also cleared lavatory sink which was clogged with hair and soap scum/gunk. Flushed both drains with hot water to clear out any remaining debris and then tested thoroughly. No leaks. Fixtures are now draining properly.

On today’s visit I met with the homeowner. The homeowner expressed an issue with a mainline clog. I ran water to confirm the issue. I wrote options to perform work and received approval. I was able to run my cable approximately 45ft to clear the clog. I ran a water hose through the clean out to confirm everything was draining. I set a lead for a camera inspection for 8/17/26. The camera inspection should be done from the outside exterior clean out on the back of the house. Use large drain machine to clear line from the exterior accessible cleanout, and locate source of drain issue with sewer camera. Includes drain machine and inspection camera (no additional fee). Does not include digging, replacing lines, or repairs. Cleared lines may clog again without a permanent repair. TE offers one free return visit for all mainlines within the 12 months if camera inspection is performed. Endure treatment

Customers' main level. Bathroom toilet was slowly leaking from tank to bowl, gasket and tank to bowl bolt. Everything else, except for the age of the water heater checked out water. Heater was eleven years old. I gave the customer multiple options on how to take care of their issue with the toilet. They opted to do a rebuild on the tank. Turn the water off at the shut off valve and uninstall. The tank and all the parts inside of the tank. Install new supply line, fill valve, flush valve, handle and tanked bowl gasket and bolts. Clean the inside of the tank out and reinstall the tank once secured. I turned the water back on and checked for leaks. By allowing it to sit for 5 minutes before flushing. Adjusted the fill level within side of the tank and then flush the toilet multiple times to make sure that there were no other leaks. Thank you for choosing and trusting t e with your plumbing needs

Customer called us out because she took a surge from a lightning storm. Georgia Power came out and told her she needed to have an inspection. When I arrived, I did an inspection I found all but one of the GFCI‘s in the house were fried. I found two wafer lights that were flickering. A bad dimmer. Grounding had been melted due to the surge, and also there was only one ground rod for 200 amp system. Two of the breakers in the panel were not UL listed and also there was no search protection. I replaced the two wafers and all the GFCI’s that had gone bad. I drove two new ground rods and used irreversible crimps to attach to the grounding system. The smoke detector was also expiring in a month so we went ahead and replaced the smoke and carbon combo. We also replaced that dimmer. Everything is now working properly and the grounding system is back up to the current standard.

For this job, we returned to perform previously quoted work. We installed a new pressure regulator on the main to get the pressure down to 60 psi instead of 90. Also installed a new thermal expansion tank on the system. We then installed a customer supplied faucet in the kitchen with new quarter turn shut offs. Thank you for choosing TE certified.

During today's visit, we met with the homeowner regarding the reinstallation of a customer supplied toilet. The homeowner recently had the bathroom flooring replaced, and the flooring contractor recommended that a licensed plumber reinstall the toilet. We discussed the flooring replacement with the homeowner and confirmed that the new flooring is thicker than the previous tile. Upon inspection, we noted that the closet flange appeared slightly below the finished floor level, which is consistent with the increase in flooring thickness. We cleaned the existing flange and installed an extra-thick wax ring with horn to help ensure proper seating of the toilet and create a watertight seal. After resetting the toilet, we performed multiple consecutive test flushes to verify proper operation and confirm that no leaks were present. Once leak free operation was confirmed, we applied caulk around the base of the toilet, leaving an opening at the rear to allow any potential future leaks to become

Customer will let us know if he would like to proceed.

I was successful in clearing the blockage. Tested the line with sink and tub. No back up. A sewer supervisor will be coming out 8- tomorrow morning.
