Responded to service call for Kohler shower system experiencing low water pressure and temperature control issues. Upon inspection, found shower valve was difficult to operate and inconsistent in maintaining desired water temperature. Assessed existing brushed nickel shower fixtures including single-handle valve assembly and diverter spout. Documented current installation with photos showing wall-mounted faucet assembly with circular escutcheon plate and overhead showerhead with multi-spray nozzles. Provided customer with detailed estimates for fixture replacement and valve repair options to resolve operational concerns.
Responded to service call for malfunctioning main water shutoff valve that was not fully closing and allowing water to bypass when in the closed position. Removed the existing defective valve and installed a new 3/4-inch quarter-turn ball valve using the existing copper and PEX tubing connections. The new valve now provides complete water shutoff capability for the well water system.
Completed preventive maintenance inspection on 23-year-old residential air conditioning system as part of recurring maintenance agreement. Performed comprehensive system evaluation including temperature differential measurements, electrical amp draw testing, and capacitor range verification. All operational parameters found within acceptable limits. Filter inspected and confirmed clean. Condenser unit showing age-appropriate wear and tear but functioning properly with good cooling performance and proper temperature splits across the system. System operating efficiently with no immediate service needs identified.
Returned for callback to address lavatory drain issue from previous day's installation. Lavatory strainer plunger was not lifting sufficiently high, causing poor drainage performance. Adjusted pop-up assembly mechanism to increase plunger height, restoring proper drain function. Installation consists of Moen faucet and strainer hardware.
Replaced 40-gallon natural gas standard vent water heater with Bradford White unit in utility space, including all necessary pipe connections and fittings at top of tank. Repaired leaking bathroom sink by replacing vanity faucet and installing new shut-off valves under vanity to eliminate water infiltration into basement.
Responded to a backed-up bar sink caused by grease accumulation in the kitchen drain line. Cleared the blockage using a small rigid drain cleaning machine, then performed a camera inspection of the main line and kitchen drain to verify proper flow and confirm the system was fully restored to working condition.
Responded to water heater leak at residential property. Upon inspection, confirmed 21-year-old tanked water heater was leaking from the bottom of the unit. Given the age of the equipment and location of the leak, replacement was determined to be the most cost-effective solution. Removed and properly disposed of failed water heater. Installed new tanked water heater with appropriate connections to existing plumbing and gas lines. Verified all connections for proper seal and tested unit operation to ensure adequate hot water production and no leaks present.
Removed fittings from two existing pipes and successfully capped four air lines in the mechanical utility area. The work involved disconnecting aged copper piping components and properly sealing the air line connections to prevent leaks and maintain system integrity.
Responded to callback for insufficient cooling following recent maintenance on 2-ton residential A/C system. Upon arrival, thermostat set to 71°F with indoor temperature at 75°F during extreme ambient conditions (95°F outdoor temperature, 80% humidity). Installed gauges and measured refrigerant subcooling, which registered slightly elevated but within acceptable operating range. Determined unit capacity adequate for typical conditions but insufficient to overcome heat load from multiple contributing factors including active oven use, open tuck-under garage door, and extreme weather conditions. System operating properly with no mechanical defects identified. Provided customer education on managing internal heat sources and maintaining building envelope integrity during peak demand periods to optimize system performance.
Completed comprehensive plumbing inspection of commercial facility including water heater relocation, PRV pressure verification, vacuum breaker testing, mixing valve functionality checks, water heater flushing and maintenance, faucet temperature and component testing, and eyewash station evaluation. Identified multiple deficiencies requiring attention: mixing valve in unisex bathroom requires adjustment, mixing valve and foot pedal at main handwashing sink need replacement, dishwashing room handwashing sink drain experiencing backup issues, and cold cartridge in lab handwashing sink requires replacement. Documented system conditions with photographs showing aged copper piping with heavy oxidation and pressure gauge monitoring, as well as portable handwashing station setup. Estimate to be prepared for identified repairs and component replacements.
Completed AC tune-up on 2-year-old system. Performed outdoor condenser coil washing, conducted comprehensive electrical testing with all readings within manufacturer specifications, and verified proper system operation with 20-degree temperature differential across evaporator coil. Unit operating normally with no deficiencies noted; customer maintains filters independently.
Responded to no cooling complaint on central air conditioning system. Upon inspection, found blown fuses and damaged, mangled disconnect at outdoor unit. Identified damaged wiring as contributing factor to fuse failure. Temporarily bypassed faulty disconnect to continue diagnostics.
