Walked around and did a carbon monoxide check. Was reading 0 ppm throughout the house. Found no gas leaks. Shane also replaced the smoke/Co detector that was taken down yesterday.

We came out because the customer was complaining about a gas smell in the home and we ended up finishing the roof termination to the tankless and giving the whole house a pressure test to make sure there were no leaks. We also soap down every fitting that we can get to and flex to double check everything. We did notice that the fireplace had not been relit and some gas could’ve escaped from that if the gas control was malfunctioning, but we now have the fireplace relit all the appliances working correctly. There was one cover monoxide detector going off in a strange location not close to any appliance so we did remove that for the customer to change the battery out and reinstall it later when everything dissipated. We will also have the master plumber do a wellness check in the morning to reinsure The home is completely safe but the smell is gone and the house is properly aired out so we believe it is currently safe too and have it. Definitely no charge for the call today.

No warranty on lighting water heater due to the age of the heater.

Came out today to give an estimate to the customer to change out her leaking water heater and while we were there we kept off the outgoing hot side and turn off the valve to the water heater so I could stop leaking and in doing so the other valve started leaking on the other water heater but we gave a quote to replace both heaters since the other one is literally about to go it’s self. Customer is going to definitely go ahead with one change out it may be two or it may be a tankless we will find out shortly and have them on schedule tomorrow. No charge for the call.

Cut hole in ceiling and found bad tub drain. Showed home owner pricing for fixing the issue. They accepted so started work. Took apart tub drain and found no gasket on the tub drain . Set new gasket and puddy and tested for leaks. Found none and tub was draining properly and having no leaks.

Checked staining In garage . Tub is right above the stain but can not access to see the drain . Will have to cut sheet rock to see the drain and what’s going on Underneath it that’s causing the leak. Home owner is going to let us know what they decide about proceeding .

Came out today to see what was flooding the upstairs bathroom, when we turn the water back on we quickly noticed that the toilet was not shutting off and overflowing so we turned it back off and changed the fill valve. After we did that the toilet was flushing properly and shutting off and we didn’t see any more leaks or issues the customer need to be worried about. The customer is most likely going to get their own dehumidifier and some fans to pull the moisture out of the plywood and we suggested maybe installing a Moen flow. Customer said he will most likely look into that product and let us know. Customer paid with the card on file no follow up needed at this time.

I poured water in the drain line and it immediately backed up with only about a cup of water. This explained the thermostat issue when the drain has a partial blockage it will fill up and trip safety switch, which will cause thermostat to go blank.
