Customer was smelling gas in their basement mechanical room, they called the fire department and they came out to shut the gas off, we pressure tested the system and found a leak on the gas line feeding the generator where the black iron went underground, we recommended replacement of the line due to condition of the line and the fact it was under sized, I turned the valve off to the generator so we could pressure test the lines inside, the system held 15 psi for 15 minutes indicating no leaks, I turned gas back on to the home and tested the connections at the water heater and furnace, I found a small leak on the male adapter for the gas whip and recommended replacement of the water heater sediment trap due to the use of hardening thread sealant. The customer requested we take care of that today, I turned gas off to the home, broke the 1/2 union for the water heater, removed the union, tee and all the 1/2 black iron nipples, we then reconnected the gas line to the water using a new uni

Homeowner has a separate line that tees off of his main service line. There is an unknown area where it tease off. We’re not sure if there is an isolation main shut off for the secondary line.

Arrived on site to originally trench a new waterline service for the customer home. After locates were made , and discussion about hand digging and trenching in multiple areas, customer decided to move forward to bore a new waterline to the home instead. Bore was made from meter and up to the penetration which was also removed and replaced. Once waterline was connected , I had customer run water in the home to purge the air through the lines , and to ensure that there were no issues with any fixtures. I then sealed both ends of the penetration and buried the line.

I was called out to Spencer’a house for a noise issue on a return vent on the main system. During the evaluation we discovered the static pressure was very high even though the return ductwork should be big enough for the 3 ton but it is a single stage system with zoning which is a poor application. We will be returning to add a 12” return, move one of the existing duct that is being choked, and to retest the system.

Performed a HomeCare plumbing inspection today at a home built in 2008 with two full bathrooms. The home’s water pressure was holding at 55 PSI at the time of the inspection. The home is equipped with a 50-gallon gas water heater installed approximately three years ago by another contractor. The customer reported that the water heater has never been serviced. We discussed flushing the tank to help remove sediment that can accumulate over time. During the inspection, I found an older reverse osmosis system in the cabinet beneath the kitchen sink. I asked the customer about the filter replacement history, and she explained that she was unaware the filters required periodic replacement. I reviewed how routine filter changes help maintain the system’s performance. We also discussed the reverse osmosis system offered by TE Certified as a replacement option for filtered drinking water at the kitchen sink. I reviewed replacement options for the older toilets in the home and explained how newe

Upon arrival, met with customer and spoke with them regarding their issue. Customer stated that they left home earlier today and when they got back they noticed water all over their floors in the main level. The half bathroom, kitchen, office and foyer had all gotten water on the floor. We had pulled and reset the half bathroom toilet due to a leaking wax seal earlier this year. Customer noticed that water was coming from the base of the toilet as well when they got home. There is too much water on the floors for it to be from a flush from the toilet. I opened the cleanout outside and it is full of water. Customer is on a septic system and has not had it pumped since they moved in during March. I recommended that they first have a septic company out to pump and inspect the tank and if they continue experiencing this issue we can return to snake the line. The upstairs guest bathroom toilet (son’s bathroom) also had a broken handle. I gave the customer an option to replace the handle and

Perform two system home care. Resealed furnace base. Re-insulated main trunk line. Mount to condenser to the pad. Adjust gas pressures to 2.0 and 3.5 sealed edges of doghouse cover with weatherproof silicone. Swapped out oversize breaker for AC condenser unit. Found biological growth on the mini split head. Clean filters and wiped off blades with Clorox wipes as a courtesy. Recommended a deep cleaning of the mini split head, also a UV light. I explained to the homeowner this is not a guarantee that it will not come back. Growth is likely stemming from high humidity plus not having the filters cleaned enough. Homeowner signed up for the home care as this was the last of his two visits.

Customer called us out for three slow draining toilets. On arrival customer told me the entryway and master toilets were clogging about once a month. The other toilet was slow but hardly used. I tested the toilets and the flush was slower. I gave the customer multiple options and they wanted to see if it could be improved by using a closet auger. I ran the auger down the line but was unable to make any significant change in the flushing. Checked the venting in the attic and did not notice any issues. The third toilet flushes the same. I recommend replacing the toilets with a better quality one. Water heater and water pressure were good.

Today we performed a directional bore from water meter to foundation to depth of no less than 18" up to 100ft. Installed HDPE water service line in bore and connect at both ends. Ran an 2 inch protective sleeve on both ends to protect the pipe, installed appropriate fittings at foundation tailout. If foundation penetration point is damaged, run new section of service line through foundation wall and protect. Seal interior and exterior penetration points with hydraulic cement and tar. Test new line for leaks prior to backfilling and start/end/sight holes to rough grade. Clean work area. Utilities will be marked prior to work. No utilities were harmed during today’s visit.

no findings, customer just had some concerns about his wiring in a light fixture box he wanted me to inspect. So I inspected the wiring in both light fixture boxes in the garage and opened up the switch box and main panel as well. Turns out they pulled a 14/3 and used the red as the switch leg and the black as a constant hot for some garage outlets so when he replaced the light fixtures he just had the switch turned off and thought all wires were completely dead and he got shocked from that constant hot bundle and didn’t know what happened and wanted us to come out and inspect.

Came out today for a leaking basement toilet at a rental property. The tenant reported water leaking from the sides of the toilet when flushed. I flushed the toilet several times and confirmed water was leaking from the base. After removing the bolt caps, I found that the mounting bolts were badly corroded. I explained that the flange might also be damaged. With the tenant’s approval, I removed the toilet and confirmed the flange was broken. I reviewed the findings with the tenant, who approved the flange repair and toilet reset. I showed the tenant the new flange before completing the installation. After resetting the toilet, I flushed it several times and verified there were no leaks. I then caulked around the base of the bowl. The toilet was operating properly at the time of service.
