I was called to a home to unclog a toilet upstairs. I used a closet auger to clear the clog. I was able to successfully unclog the toilet.

Performed routine water heater maintenance at 145 Maple Avenue. Unit is a 40-gal Rheem, approx. 6 years old. Flushed tank to remove sediment build-up which was moderate. Checked anode rod - showing wear but still functional, recommend replacement within next 12-18 months. Tested pressure relief valve, operating properly. Inspected gas connection and venting - all secure and within specifications. Reviewed maintenance schedule with homeowner.

Arrived at Sykesville property at 8:30 AM to replace a failed 40-gallon electric water heater. The previous unit had extensive corrosion at the bottom element and exhibited signs of leakage. I installed a new Rheem Performance Plus 50-gallon unit with higher energy efficiency rating as requested by customer. Installation required modifications to existing plumbing configuration to accommodate the larger capacity unit, including adjusting the supply lines and drain pan setup. All connections were properly soldered and pressure tested. Installed new shutoff valves and expansion tank to meet current code requirements. Old unit was properly removed and will be recycled according to county regulations. Customer was provided with operational instructions and maintenance schedule. Service was completed by 1:15 PM. Verification of hot water production confirmed successful installation with appropriate temperature output.

I installed a valve after a whole house sediment filter so the filter can be changed without draining down the whole house.

I was called to a home to fix a backed-up kitchen sink. I used a drain machine to clear the clog in the basement.

I was called to a home in the suburbs to unclog a utility sink drain in the basement. The drain was completely clogged with a large amount of hair and grease.

I was called to a home in the suburbs of Chicago to repair a pinhole leak above the hot water tank. The leak had caused a flood in the basement and destroyed the water heater. I replaced the affected section of the pipe with CPVC and installed a Bradford White tank.

I was called to a home to perform a secondary drain cleaning on the master bathroom lavatory sink. Upon arrival, I observed that the sink was draining slowly and had a foul odor. I used a plumbing snake to clear the drain and remove any debris that may be causing the problem. I also checked th

perform a routine inspection of their leak detection system. After checking in with the facility manager, I reviewed the sensors, piping, and monitoring equipment for any signs of malfunction or leaks. During the inspection, I found that one of the sensors in the coolant storage area was not responding, likely due to a buildup of debris around the sensor. To resolve the issue, I cleaned the sensor and tested it to ensure it was functioning correctly. After confirming the system was operating properly, I updated the maintenance records and informed the facility manager of the repair, recommending regular cleaning of the sensors to maintain optimal performance.

I replaced the hot shutoff valve underneath the kitchen sink and switched out the filter on the whole house system.

I was called to replace an ice maker valve behind a refrigerator. The valve was leaking, and the customer wanted to avoid the inconvenience of a flooded kitchen. I removed the old valve and installed a new one, ensuring a tight seal. The customer was grateful for the quick and efficient service.
