Called out to attempt to clear a whole home backup through a crawlspace clean out before our supervisor comes out to run a camera. Upon arrival today, technician removed clean out cap and observed water and paper holding in the pipe. Ran a K60 sewer machine through the clean out about 4 1/2 cable links and suddenly heard the water drop out and observed it all flowing towards the sewer. Did not pull anything back on the cable, but once the cable was fully retrieved, technician observed that the line was clear.

Upon arrival, we performed the approved slab repair on the hot water line per the customers accepted estimate. The affected area of the concrete slab was carefully opened to access the leaking hot water piping. The damaged section of piping was removed and replaced using approved plumbing materials and fittings. All connections were properly installed and secured. The repaired hot water line was pressure tested and inspected for leaks to verify the repair was holding properly. The system was then placed back into service, and the hot water piping was tested under normal operating conditions. After confirming the repair was successful and no additional leaks were present in the repaired area, the excavation was properly backfilled and compacted. The concrete slab was then reinstalled over the repaired area. Everything was tested and is operating properly at this time. No active leaks were observed following completion of the repair.

I recommended a replacement to improve the pitch and have better flow to prevent this from happening again.

Arrived at no cool. Upon inspection I first found that the blower motor had gone bad. It was receiving a call and power and wasn’t operating. Secondly while I was checking that I noticed that the power to board was going in and out and during my inspection of the blower motor the power on the board when out completely.
