Westminster, MD

I am a highly skilled and experienced home service professional. I recently completed a job replacing primary and battery backup sump pumps. The sump pump was located in a basement and was not working properly. I removed the old sump pump and installed a new one, ensuring that it was properly sized and installed according to the manufacturer's specifications. I also replaced the battery backup system, which provided power to the sump pump in the event of a power outage. The customer was very pleased with the work and expressed that they would recommend me to others.

I was called to replace a 12-volt battery for a battery backup sump pump. The sump pump was not working properly, and the homeowner was concerned that the pump would fail during a heavy rainstorm. I arrived at the house and inspected the sump pump. I found that the battery was dead and needed to be replaced. I removed the old battery and replaced it with a new one. I then tested the sump pump to ensure that it was working properly. The homeowner was happy with the work and thanked me for my help.

I was called to a home to replace an improperly installed frost-proof hose bib. The homeowner had been experiencing issues with the hose bib freezing and bursting during the winter months. Upon inspection, I found that the previous hose bib had been installed incorrectly, with the water supply line not being properly secured. I replaced the old hose bib with a new one and also replaced the isolation valve to the same hose bib. I made sure to test the new hose bib thoroughly to ensure it was functioning properly before leaving the job site.

I was called to a home to flush a 50-gallon electric water heater. I arrived at the home and used a routine flush to clear the water heater of any sediment or debris. After the flush, I tested the water heater to ensure it was working properly.

I was called to repair a leak in a 1.5” water service. I used a pipe wrench to remove the old pipe and replaced it with a new one. I then used a pipe dope to seal the connection and tested the water pressure to ensure it was working properly.

I was hired to replace a broken toilet and lavatory faucet in a bathroom. The old fixtures were removed, and the new ones were installed. The new toilet is a chair height model, which is more comfortable for taller individuals. The lavatory faucet is a single-handle model with a high-arc spout, which provides better water flow and control. The installation process was relatively straightforward, but it required careful attention to detail to ensure that the new fixtures were properly aligned and secured. Overall, the job was completed on time and to the satisfaction of the homeowner.

Suspected water leak due to unusually high water bill and damp spots on the flooring. Conducted a thorough leak detection inspection using specialized equipment. The issue was identified as a pinhole leak in a copper pipe beneath the kitchen floor, causing water seepage. Exposed the affected area, repaired the damaged pipe using a proper patch and soldering technique, and reinforced the surrounding plumbing to prevent future issues. Ensured no further leaks by pressure testing the system. Leak successfully resolved, and the area was cleaned up. The client was advised on preventive maintenance to avoid similar problems in the future.

After inspection, the issue was traced to a partially clogged main water line caused by mineral buildup. Additionally, the home's pressure regulator was malfunctioning, restricting proper water flow. Cleared the main water line to remove the mineral buildup and replaced the faulty pressure regulator with a new, properly calibrated unit. Tested water flow at all fixtures to confirm restored pressure. Water pressure is fully restored, and the system is functioning efficiently. The client is satisfied with the results.

Upon inspection, the sump pump had a clogged discharge line due to debris buildup, preventing proper water drainage. Additionally, the pump's float switch was stuck, causing it to fail to activate. Cleared the discharge line and ensured it was free of obstructions. Adjusted and tested the float switch to ensure smooth operation. Verified the sump pump is now running efficiently and effectively draining water. Issue resolved, and the client’s sump pump is back in working order.

I repaired a 50-gallon Bradford White water heater that was not producing hot water. Upon inspection, I found the heating element had failed. I replaced the faulty element with a new OEM part, then tested the thermostat and reset the temperature. The water heater is now heating properly, providing the home with hot water again.

I was called to Westminster in order to clear a clogged main sewer line. Using a drain snake, I successfully removed the blockage, allowing the water to flow freely again. I then flushed the line with a high-pressure jet to ensure it was completely clear. The drain is now functioning without any issues.

I conducted electronic leak detection using an AccuTrak VPE ultrasonic leak detector. The homeowner reported a persistent water stain on the ceiling. After a thorough inspection, I pinpointed the leak in a copper pipe joint within the wall. I marked the location and provided the homeowner with options for repair, ensuring minimal disruption to the property.

I installed a new Bradford White 40-gallon electric water heater, replacing an outdated unit. The installation involved connecting the new water heater to the existing electrical supply and water lines, securing all connections, and testing the system for leaks. I also set the thermostat to the recommended temperature for optimal energy efficiency. The installation was completed to code, and the system is functioning properly.

I located a hidden leak under a concrete slab using a FLIR thermal imaging camera and electronic leak detection equipment. The homeowner noticed an unexplained increase in their water bill. After pinpointing the exact location of the leak, I provided the homeowner with repair options, including a reroute or a slab penetration, to fix the damaged pipe.

I cleared a main sewer line blockage using a General Pipe Cleaners Speedrooter 92. The blockage was caused by tree roots infiltrating the line. I used a cutting head to remove the roots and restored normal flow to the sewer system. After clearing the blockage, I recommended a follow-up inspection with a camera to assess the condition of the pipe and prevent future issues.

Conducted a leak detection in the sewer system using advanced equipment. Utilized a RIDGID SR-24 Line Locator to accurately pinpoint the leak's location. Inspected the sewer lines for cracks and breaks, identifying the exact points of leakage. Recommended immediate repairs to prevent further damage and potential health hazards. Proper leak detection is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your plumbing system.

I replaced a thermal expansion tank, pressure reducing valve, and main valve in a residential home. The expansion tank was leaking, so I removed the old one and installed a new one. I also replaced the pressure reducing valve and the main valve to ensure that the water pressure in the home was regulated properly.

I was called to a job where a valve was improperly installed. The previous installation was compression to iron pipe threading, but we installed a pipe extension and glued on a new straight stop.

I am a skilled professional that works for a plumbing company. I recently completed a job replacing a frost-proof hose bib, two complete toilet tank rebuilds, and repairing a Kohler Roman tub faucet with homeowner-supplied parts.
