Upon arrival manager stated that the shop bathroom had four clogged toilets. After investigating, I found out that it was a mainline blockage, causing all four of those toilets to back up. None of the surrounding drains were connected before the clog. after discussing with the manager, I got approval to pull the toilet and run an auger through the main line. The clog was most likely caused by a bundle of toilet paper, blocking the line from draining. After work was completed I tested to make sure that everything was working properly, and that there were no leaks. Thank you for choosing keep smiling, plumbing, electrocuting, and cooling.

Arrived at homeowners home. Homeowner was having issues with the kitchen sink leaking into the laundry room downstairs. After talking with the homeowner I had her show me the kitchen sink along with the laundry room downstairs. I went back up to the kitchen sink and had the homeowner run water while I was looking at the drains underneath and immediately saw that the drains were not hooked up to the basket strainer. I showed the homeowner and explained that the drains are supposed to be connected to the basket strainer, but due to her basket strainer being so rusted that it has came apart. I explain to the homeowner that we would have to replace the basket strainer in order to fix the leak. I also explained that I would have to check the pressure to make sure that the pressure is in working standards. That way I would be able to warranty my work. From there i went to the water heater to check the pressure but found that the water heater has a plastic drain so I did not check the pressur

At today’s visit, I spoke with Mrs. Caprice and Mr. Jones. They informed me that they have been having an ongoing issue with the breaker for the dishwasher tripping periodically. If the breaker is reset, the dishwasher will run again for a time before tripping back off. I inspected the breaker and brought the past trip code back, and determined the breaker had a sequence of 5 blinks on the test feature. This told us that there was a ground fault which triggered the breaker to trip. I provided an estimate initially to replace the receptacle controlling the dishwasher with a gfci and swapping the breaker in the panel to a standard. This was agreed to, however, once work began, I observed the receptacle I had believed controlled the dishwasher had actually controlled the disposal. Therefore, I determined the next solutions would be to either add the receptacle to power the dishwasher from scratch using the hardwired cable currently delivering power to the appliance, or to swap the breaker

Arrived at homeowners home. Homeowner had kitchen sink that was backing up. After talking with the homeowner she explained that it has been backed up for about two months and she has poured Drano down it but it has not gone down. I explained that it is most likely a grease blockage so I explained that I would have to pull the P-trap apart and run a flat shaft and then a sewer machine through the P-trap with the attempt to clear the blockage. The homeowner accepted. I took apart the P-trap and ran my flex shaft, then ran my sewer machine and was able to get through the blockage. I went out to the clean out and was able to see my sewer machine cable. I didn’t hold my sewer machine back and forth to clear up any obstructions, then put the P-trap back together and filled the sink up with hot water and dumped it the sink drained fine.

At the Morris residence they needed couple of items to be done. Install an outlet, install another outlet with diagnostic, and convert a dry outlet to 120v outlet. Only the dryer outlet project for today. Before starting they’ve informed that a previous electrician worked on the system. The space in the basement has been finished. The electrician prior is no longer working at the home. I did explain to the homeowner that the previous installation of the tandem Siemens breakers don’t belong in this panel. While retrieving parts I did notice a new model of tandem breakers will work in the panel. The new acquisition by ABB over GE’s electrical division has created tandems for this model of panel. Replace dryer outlet and installed a gfci which is receiving 124v. Ready to be to work. At the panel I’ve removed the two pole breaker and added a single pole breaker. I’ve also changed the label to reflect correctly. One year warranty parts and labor.
