We came out today to conduct the annual plumbing home inspection. We ended up giving an estimate to replace the cartridge in the upstairs guest bathroom tub, replace the angle stops and supply lines in that same bathroom sink because they were polybutylene and most likely will one day be a serious issue, and to replace the supply line on the Toilet in that bathroom because it’s a problematic product and not recommended. Also gave an estimate to the customer to replace the water heater because they know it is all then near the end of its life expectancy but assured them we will be replacing it with the same quality rheem Product. Other than that the house looks great no serious issues to bring up to the customer and they will call us when they’re ready to make these repairs.

Came out today to give the customer pricing on changing out the water heater in the garage. Customer okayed the estimate and we went ahead with the work. The customer now has a new 40 gallon electric water heater installed with a pan. Customer paid with credit card no follow-up needed today.
