Diagnosed a no-heat condition with a code 58 (water sensor circuit open) caused by a leaking condensate trap seal and a corroded, possibly cracked collector box. Replaced the collector box and condensate trap because heavy rust prevented separating the components. Inspected the heat exchanger, which appeared in good condition, and verified all electrical components operated properly. Test-running the furnace then revealed a high limit switch trip, which was being evaluated at the time of this record.
Replaced a failed 50-gallon standard-vent tank-type water heater with a new 50-gallon LP unit, reconnecting the water supply and outlet lines, gas supply, and draft hood to the existing flue. Verified proper venting, leak-free connections, and safe burner operation after startup.
Responded to a leaking shut-off valve under a bathroom sink. Upon inspection, found the existing valve was both leaking and stuck in position, preventing proper water control. Replaced both hot and cold water supply stops with new chrome-finished shut-off valves to restore full functionality and eliminate the leak. Tested the new valves to ensure proper operation and verified no additional leaks were present.
Responded to no hot water call and performed diagnostic inspection of tanked water heater system. Upon arrival, inspected electrical panel and verified proper circuit breaker operation and power supply to the unit. Examined water heater installation including all plumbing connections, pressure relief valve, copper piping, gas supply line with flexible connector, and flue venting components. Assessed overall system configuration and documented existing conditions of the water heater, associated piping, safety devices, and electrical connections to determine cause of no hot water condition and restore proper operation.
Responded to service call for boiler overheating issue. Upon inspection, discovered the boiler control valve was stuck in the open position, causing continuous heating and inability to maintain proper temperature regulation. Identified multiple leaks in the system piping and connections, with visible corrosion on expansion tank and aged copper piping assembly. Documented equipment condition with photos showing rust accumulation on tank surfaces and deteriorated plumbing components. Provided customer with detailed repair options and submitted written estimate for necessary repairs to address control valve replacement and leak remediation.
Completed scheduled heating maintenance on heat pump system with furnace backup. Performed comprehensive furnace inspection including cleaning condensate drain line and flame sensor, verified heat exchanger integrity, and evaluated all system components. Identified thermostat programming issue where emergency heat setting was not configured to bypass heat pump and activate furnace during extreme cold conditions. Homeowner declined thermostat reprogramming at this time; advised that service can be rescheduled when outdoor temperature drops below 35°F to properly test and configure emergency heat functionality.
Responded to complaint of strong sewage smell concentrated near bathroom sink wall. Conducted thorough diagnostic testing by running various fixtures but was unable to replicate the odor during service visit. Inspected all accessible plumbing components including drain lines, trap assemblies, and visible piping. Determined that a vent pipe concealed within the wall cavity could not be visually inspected and is suspected to have developed a breach or crack allowing sewer gas to escape into the living space. Documented existing plumbing infrastructure including aging black iron pipes and galvanized connections in basement utility area. Scheduled emergency follow-up service to access and replace the suspected compromised vent pipe section behind the wall.
Completed comprehensive plumbing inspection of residential bathroom facilities. Inspected and documented bathroom vanity plumbing system including undermount sink with dual-handle brushed nickel faucet, drainage assembly, and supply line connections. Evaluated modern dual-flush toilet installation, verified proper operation of flush mechanism, and assessed all associated water supply and waste connections for leaks or potential issues.

All system components including air filter, condensate drain, and temperature rise readings were found to be within normal operating parameters. Noted water heater in deteriorated condition with evidence of leaking from heating elements and other areas requiring attention.
Responded to no heat call on 5-year-old system with tripped breaker. Upon inspection, found tripped fuse at furnace and failed contactor on condensing unit.

Responded to a plugged toilet on the upper level of the residence. Successfully cleared the blockage using standard plumbing tools and restored the 20+ year old toilet to full working order. Verified proper flushing and drainage upon completion.
Responded to service call to investigate water condensation issue in furnace area. Upon inspection, located source of water as a rusted metal evaporator coil drain pan on 1987 HVAC system. Drain pan was improperly tilted backward, causing water accumulation. Temporarily propped up drain pan to correct angle and performed water test to assess leak severity. Testing confirmed significant leaking from corroded pan. Explained to homeowner that replacement drain pan for this vintage system would be extremely difficult to source due to age and discontinuation of parts. Documented conditions with photographs showing ductwork, drain pan assembly, and surrounding plumbing components. Recommended full AC unit replacement as most viable repair option given system age and parts availability constraints. Coordinated with sales advisor to schedule equipment replacement quote.
