Plumbing Services in Mount Gilead

Pride Plumbing addressed a leak at the water meter by first locating the shut-off valve. After shutting off the water, we removed the damaged section of pipe. We then repaired the line with PEX pipe and fittings and installed a new valve to ensure proper functionality. Additionally, we observed low water pressure and recommended the customer have the town come out and adjust the valve. We provided a one-year warranty on both parts and labor for the services performed.

Pride Plumbing addressed an issue with a Rheem electric tabletop lowboy water heater that wasn't maintaining a hot temperature. After assessing the problem, we provided a cost estimate to replace the unit with a new model of the same capacity. The process will begin by shutting off the water supply and disconnecting the electrical connections and water lines. We will then remove the old unit and dispose of it properly. Installation of the new water heater will involve connecting ball water shut-off valves, PEX and stainless-steel water supply lines, a brass drain valve, and making the necessary electrical connections with a Romex connector. We will turn the water back on, check for leaks, purge air from the water lines, ensure the temperature and pressure relief valve is correctly vented, and set the unit to its appropriate operating temperature.

Pride Plumbing first inspected a non-working 38-gallon electric American E62-40L-045DV lowboy water heater and confirmed that it was not receiving power. We then checked the circuit breakers and found none in the tripped position. To ensure a thorough evaluation, we recommended the customer contact an electrician for further investigation. While waiting for the electrician, we took the opportunity to assess the water heater's age, noting it was installed in 2007. We provided the customer with detailed estimates for replacing the water heater, considering both the current model and potential upgrades for improved efficiency and reliability.

Upon arrival, Pride Plumbing was shown to the washer box where a leak was evident. The drain line appeared to be broken and had been hastily repaired with silicone. This 1 1/2 inch line seemed undersized, especially since the customer had recently purchased a new washer. The issue likely began with the installation of the new appliance. We assessed the situation and determined that the line might be both undersized and damaged. We informed the customer that we need to quote for a new washer box installation and an upgrade to a properly sized drain line to prevent future issues.

Upon arrival, Pride Plumbing assessed the situation and confirmed that the cabin's 50-gallon natural gas State GS650YBRT water heater had failed due to an internal leak. After a thorough inspection, it was evident that the leak was originating from within the unit. We provided the maintenance team with detailed pricing options for replacement, including the cost of installing a new unit of the same capacity with and without a thermal expansion tank.

Pride Plumbing was called out for a leaking American Standard toilet. We identified the master bath toilet's fill valve as the issue, it was submerged in water and continuously running. We explained the situation to the customer and offered options to replace the toilet or the fill valve. Opting for the latter, we removed the faulty valve and installed a new one along with replacing its supply line hose. After thorough testing, the toilet functioned perfectly. A 1-year warranty on parts and labor is provided.

Upon arrival, Pride Plumbing conducted a thorough inspection of three leaking toilet tanks, which the customer had previously tried to fix. After evaluating the situation, we presented two repair options. The first involved rebuilding the flush assemblies, which included replacing gaskets, bolts, water fill valves, flappers, and above-floor braided stainless steel water supply lines. The second option was to replace the toilets with new Gerber Viper models, which entailed removing the old toilets, inspecting and replacing flanges, and installing new bowls, tanks, gaskets, bolts, seats, wax rings, and water supply lines.

Pride Plumbing addressed multiple issues, starting with two leaking outdoor spigots. We replaced one of the original hose bibs with a Woodford frost-free model, connecting onto the existing water line in the crawl space with PEX pipe and fittings. Next, we replaced the angle stop for the master bath toilet, resolving its drip when turned off. We also installed a customer-provided rain-head showerhead, wand, and Moen trim kit. All installations were thoroughly tested for functionality and leaks, with no issues found. The new hose bib is covered by a six-year manufacturer warranty. Additionally, we provided a cost estimate for repiping and replacing the water supply lines under the house, using new PEX piping and fittings.

Upon inspection, Pride Plumbing found that the toilet exhibited a persistent leak around the base during flushing. To address this, we replaced the worn tank-to-bowl gasket, ensuring a watertight seal between the tank and the bowl. Additionally, the 2-inch flapper was replaced to prevent water from escaping the tank into the bowl. After carefully disassembling the necessary components, we installed the new gasket and flapper, ensuring all parts were correctly aligned and secured. Following the replacement, we flushed the toilet multiple times to confirm the absence of leaks. The toilet is now functioning optimally, with no signs of leakage.

Pride Plumbing was contacted to resolve a shower valve issue. We began by accessing the area through the back side of the shower. Using PEX pipe and fittings, we installed a customer-supplied Moen shower valve. Precision was key as we ensured the valve was securely in place. Once the installation was complete, we turned the water back on and conducted a thorough inspection for leaks. Fortunately, there were none, and the shower valve operated flawlessly. To maintain accessibility for future maintenance, we installed a plastic plumbing access panel over the hole we cut in the wall. Although the customer-supplied valve is not covered under warranty, we confirmed its proper functionality. The job was completed efficiently, and the shower is now fully operational.

Pride Plumbing came out and assessed multiple leaking outside hose bibs. After discussing potential solutions, we removed three hose bibs and installed new ones with fresh PEX pipe connections. We then turned on the water supply and thoroughly tested each new hose bib to ensure proper functionality. All installations performed successfully, and a 1-year warranty was provided for the new hose bibs and connections.

Responding to a call about a basement toilet overflow during laundry, Pride Plumbing used a specialized medium-sized sewer machine through a floor drain to clear the line. We performed three thorough wash cycles and multiple drain tests to ensure optimal functionality. We closely monitored for backups and gurgling sounds, confirming the system was fully restored. We also provided a detailed cost estimate for replacing the main sewer line with new PVC piping, including cleanouts and fittings per code.

Pride Plumbing installed a new kitchen drain line, ensuring precise alignment and secure fitting of the P-trap, trap adapter, and flange tailpiece. A 1/8th inch bend was added for optimal drainage. Following standard procedures, we meticulously connected each component, ensuring a leak-proof seal. The area was cleared of debris and leftover materials, leaving it clean and ready for use.

Upon receiving a complaint about both bathrooms not flushing, Pride Plumbing identified a main line stoppage caused by paper towels, rags, and toilet paper. Using a high-pressure water jet from the cleanout, we cleared the blockage, ensuring water flowed smoothly to the septic tank. Both bathrooms were tested and confirmed to have restored functionality. Additionally, a camera inspection discovered a 4-foot section of the main drain line that should be replaced. The septic tank, though not pumped in a decade, showed no immediate issues.

Pride Plumbing responded to a customer complaint regarding low water pressure from a well system. Upon arrival, we conducted a thorough diagnostic of the entire system. The well head was producing 60 psi, and the pressure tank maintained this level. The pressure switch cut out at 60 psi and cut in at 40 psi, both within design specifications. During the diagnostic, we learned the customer intended to use the well for their home irrigation system. We contacted our in-house backflow specialist who advised that the well system might not adequately support an irrigation system. We recommended connecting to the available 1-inch PEX city waterline and installing a backflow prevention system for the irrigation needs.
