Completed complimentary maintenance inspection and tune-up on two Lennox AC systems from 1996, both utilizing R-22 refrigerant. Performed comprehensive system evaluation including capacitor testing, refrigerant level assessment, temperature differential measurements, and visual inspection of all major components. Testing revealed both systems operating below optimal performance standards. First unit capacitor measured 26/3 MFD against rated 30/5 MFD specification; second unit capacitor measured 21/3 MFD against rated 25/5 MFD specification. Both systems showed low refrigerant charge levels. Temperature differential measurements recorded 12-13 degrees across both units, indicating inadequate cooling capacity below industry standard of 15-20 degrees. Inspected and verified air filters, blower motors, and condensation drains on both systems—all components found in satisfactory condition. Examined outdoor units including condenser coils and electrical wiring; no deficiencies noted in the
Responded to callback for basement bathroom sink pop-up assembly installation. Initial installation attempt failed water retention test due to faulty gasket seal.

Diagnosed and repaired tank-to-bowl leak by removing toilet tank, cleaning deteriorated tank gaskets, and reinstalling with new seals to restore proper watertight connection and eliminate continuous water seepage.
Responded to report of leaking upper-level toilet. Upon investigation, identified the source of the leak as loose tank-to-bowl bolts rather than a failed tank-to-bowl gasket as initially suspected. Tightened the tank-to-bowl mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications, resolving the leak. Documented toilet make and model and confirmed proper seal integrity after adjustment.
Completed annual cooling maintenance on dual AC system with no prior reported issues. During inspection, identified weak capacitor on second unit, exposed refrigerant line set, and low refrigerant charge.

Upon arrival, verified the issue and performed diagnostic testing by flushing the toilet, which confirmed the blockage was isolated to a branch line rather than the main sewer line. Cleared the obstruction using a flex shaft drain machine to mechanically open the floor drain line. Following the clearing procedure, conducted thorough flow testing by running water through the system and introducing 10 gallons of water down the drain to verify proper drainage and flow capacity. The line demonstrated full functionality with no backup or slow drainage observed. No debris or materials were retrieved during the cleaning process, indicating the blockage was successfully pushed through the line.

Successfully replaced faulty components and shut-off valve, restoring toilet to full operational status.
Responded to a sump pump discharge pipe leak on the exterior of the residence. Upon inspection, discovered that the discharge pipes for three sump pumps were not properly glued together, causing water leakage at the connections. After discussing repair options with the homeowner, including the use of no-hub couplings for seasonal removal, the decision was made to permanently glue all fittings together while maintaining removable cleanout caps for future access.
