Upon arrival, met with customer and spoke with them regarding their issue. Customer showed me inside and upstairs to the third level bathroom. Customer states the tub is draining slow and they would like the other fixtures checked for slow drains as well. I confirmed the slow draining tub and checked all other fixtures in the home. Home is seven years old and has one bathroom on the third floor, two on the second floor, and one on the main floor. All other sinks and tubs are draining properly at this time and I did not discover any concerns. Presented customer with options to clear tub drain upstairs. Customer agreed and after getting signature approval I began work. Removed tub stopped and removed large amount of hair and soap scum buildup clogging drain. Snaked p trap and ran hot water to ensure tub is no longer clogged. Partially filled tub and allowed it to drain. Tub is now draining properly at this time. Cleaned work area. Customer is satisfied.

Completed a full inspection maintenance on 3 HVAC systems. Inspected heat, exchangers, burners, and ignition components for safe operation. Check blower, assemblies, airflow, settings, electrical connections, breaker, sizing, and motor amp draws to verify proper performance. Tested controls and safety switches and inspected for any potential safety or code concerns. Upon arrival on the basement system, I observed standing water in the drain pan. Further inspection revealed the PVC line feeding into the condensate pump is broken, preventing proper drainage. Due to the location of the system and obstruction from the refrigerator, full access was limited. I had to climb over the refrigerator to reach the unit, and water was visibly present from on top of the refrigerator prior to assessing the system.. I left thermostat in the off position to prevent continued water accumulation and potential overflow. Estimates have been provided to the customer to repair the broken condensate drain li

Pulled basement toilet in order to perform sewer scope for a potential buyer if this house who is in due diligence. Discovered that there is original cast iron servicing the main floor 2 bathrooms, one kitchen and washing machine. Also discovered that the basement bathroom is original with cast iron under the concrete slab. Ran camera as far as I could from basement to outside sewer line and was inky able to make it about 30’ past the house. This is due to a long run of cast iron with turns which makes it difficult to push the camera. Providing options to have cast iron replaced throughout home and for outside sewer line.

Customer is interested in a retrofit recirculating pump and would like a quote on tank only. I Left several estimates so they can decide which water heater and which recirculating pump works best for them. An electrician will need to come out to install an outlet for the recirculating pump.

Ran out of time with home owner. Sons birthday. Home owner noticing high power bills. Older equipment. Dirty 1 inch filters Need to be replaced. Aprilaire filter in crawl space is still good.
