Today, I came out to my clients home to take a look at a toilet that is leaking at the base and running water out onto the hardwood floor. This toilet is located on the main level of the home. At this time, the water is off to the toilet, and the toilet is not in service. The internal parts of the toilet are rubber, and they are melting and breaking down. To be clear, our client is not complaining about how the toilet works on the inside, just that it leaks at the base. I have written an estimate to remove the toilet from the floor, replaced the wax ring, and remount the toilet to the floor. I also included in that estimate, a cost to rebuild the tank and the tank bowl seal along with the connecting bolts. All of these parts are worn out, and will soon be leaking and breaking down, if they aren’t already. We are not certain because I could not use the toilet when I got here due to it already being taken out of service. If my client request me to come back and remount the toilet to

A worker drilled a hole through the 1/2 inch black iron. The wall will be cut and the pipe will be replaced through to the attic.

Today, I came out to our client’s home to take a look at a leak that was occurring in the basement coming from the ceiling. Our client had already cut the ceiling open to review the leaking half inch copper to pex connection. I repaired this by soldering a bar and onto the copper and crimping an additional section of plastic in place, and making a secure connection that is sufficient to be closed up inside of the ceiling. I also found that the water heater did not have an expansion tank, but had an expansion valve. I removed the expansion valve and I also removed a saddle valve that was abandoned and just about to leak, a little weighs higher up the pipe. I installed a new water shut off valve supplying water to the water heater, and I installed an expansion tank system. That does a better job of protecting the home from pressure spikes. Additionally, the drain line pipes for the overflow pan and the furnace drain we’re not connected, they were laying loosely on the floor with noth

The pressure in the home is not sufficient enough to properly run the sprinkler system. The pressure is at 60PSI on the front hose Bibb. The pressure drops to 18-22PSI whenever the sprinklers are ran. At first, it was believed that the regulator was bad. The current regulator was installed Feb 2023 by Southside Plumbing. A different regulator was installed today and the same results occurred. The pressure could not be raised over 60 with a regulator on the main. The regulator was removed all together and the pressure is now at 62PSI in the same location. Without the regulator, the pressure drops to about 45-50 PSI when the sprinklers are ran. The home was left without a regulator installed.
