Pride Plumbing was called out for a commercial toilet not flushing correctly. After inspection and shutting off the water, we replaced the diaphragm inside the toilet's Sloan flush valve.

We then refilled the tank and tested for leaks and proper operation with no issues. We also replaced the toilet seat on a second toilet with a new elongated open-front toilet seat.

Pride Plumbing was called out for a basement grinder pump not working properly. First, we plugged it in and it operated without any issues. Next, we tested it and found that its alarm float was adjusted too high and wouldn’t go off until the whole basin was full. While testing it, we could see where toilet paper would accumulate on the on/off float causing it to be weighed down until the waste would fill the tank to the point of overflowing. Finally, we readjusted the floats to where they would operate without any issues of toilet paper accumulating on top of them and waste water would flow into the drain system as it should.

Pride Plumbing came out and inserted a camera down through a shower drain, and along with using a sonar location device, located and marked the exact position of the home's main drain line located underneath a concrete slab, where it runs, and where the problem area(s) were.

We then turned the water back on, refilled the tanks, and tested for leaks and proper operation with no issues.
