Upon arrival homeowner stated that he wanted his Roman tub valve replaced. After investigating, I found that the Roman tub valve is encased with tile all around and has a cabinet, buded up against the valve. After explaining what it would take to achieve this and what the best possible route is to cut in and gain access to the valve. He wanted to know price and when I would be available to do it. After coming up with an estimate and talking with the homeowner about it, he thought it was too expensive for the work that was going to be done. Instead, he just wanted to paint the Roman tub faucet and handles to match the rest of the faucets that he installed. Thank you for choosing keep smiling plumbing, electric heating and cooling.

Replaced continuous leaking back hose bibb

I was met on site by Mr. and Mrs. Cropper. An appointment was scheduled with Keep Smiling in order to replace the front hose spigot and isolation shut off. The spigot has been running for years, and the isolation shut off was defective. I assessed what it would take to perform the replacement and asked other clarifying questions. Also verified that the water pressure is still within the appropriate range. I got on the same page with Mr. and Mrs. Cropper and put together an estimate. They agreed to it, allowing me to move forward. I gathered the necessary materials from the nearest Home Depot and got to work. I adapted from the original copper pipe into PEX because of the history of leaks that they’ve experienced. I also converted the original gate valve shut off and spigot into a ball valve style for both. They also requested that I lower the height of the isolation shut off so that it’s more reachable. Once the work was completed, I pressurized the system and inspected the connection

Pump has went bad on dishwasher. Will need to have a new dishwasher installed.

I was met on site by Mr. Sullivan. An appointment was scheduled with Keep Smiling in order to get pricing for installing the newly purchased vanity and have the faucet and respective connections completed. Mr. Sullivan brought me to the powder room in which this vanity is to be placed. They found out that the design of the vanity does not cooperate with the existing orientation of the P-trap and emergency shut offs. I assessed the area to brainstorm what it would take to get everything installed. I also inspected the water pressure and thermal expansion tank. The water pressure is within the appropriate range, but the thermal expansion tank had failed. I explained to Mr. Sullivan the function and risks regarding the expansion tank. I was also shown the P-traps in the double vanity of the master bathroom. Their current set up utilizes the accordion style connection. Mr. Sullivan wanted to see what it would cost to reconfigure those as well for consideration. After discussions, I put tog

Customer has leak under kitchen sink. It was quoted last year to rebuild drainage under sink and work was declined back then. I arrived today and tubular drains/ end outlet are new. When water ran in left basin water leaks heavily. I found it barely attached and no gasket in the connection. Other side with parapet is also very loose and heals up with boxes under sink. There is no gasket on that connection either. Just charged customer a misc repair to remove and put gaskets on the pipes. When I removed I found that the horizontal section was holding water. When I dumped out I found it clogged. When I cleaned it out I found the gaskets that were supposed to be on the connections. They clearly were not installed correctly and slipped off into the horizontal drain which blocked all the gunk that drains into sink. I reattached all the drains. With gaskets. Everything is tight. Ran water several minutes and everything flows good with no leaks. Gaskets used were not truck stock items. No oth

Customer has water spraying out from shower handle and water leaks through living room ceiling when shower is turned on upstairs. Customer has pull out style moen 1225 shower valve. Handle very difficult to pull and turn but indeed sprayed like crazy when opened. I advised customer it looks like she will just need a new cartridge in the shower valve. Customer approved repair and I turned water off to home. I removed trim kit and inspected in wall that everything else looked fine. I used cartridge puller and removed old cartridge. I installed new 1225 cartridge and turned water back onto home. Water pressure on home is good at this time. House does have polybutylene tubing throughout. Verified no leaks in wall and tested shower. Water comes out properly with no leaks. I reinstalled trim kit and handle and tested again. Everything works as it should. Total paid today is $337.40 paid via credit card

Condenser is 3.5 tons Lennox about 16 years old located left side of the house with R410a refrigerant. I didn’t find anything wrong at this time, someone checked Evaporator coil and took the tape off so it was leaking some, I put some tape at no charge but explained customer that this isnt a big deal, then customer told me that some vents don’t blow cold air, we checked all the vents that she said that it doesn’t blow cold and all the vents are blowing cold air, then she said that fan from the furnace never stops, I turned off and the fan turned off, we didn’t find anything wrong at this time, her crawlspace is foam insulated so temperature in the crawlspace

I was met on site by Mr. Crawford. He agreed to have an appointment with Keep Smiling after speaking with the plumbing supervisor. The purpose of the visit was to potentially replace the water heater. The issue that Mr. Crawford recently experienced was the pilot light going out. He has not been able to relight it. I attempted to relight it in order to witness the malfunction. I confirmed that this is the case. I assessed what it would take to perform the replacement and provided an estimate. Mr. Crawford agreed to the estimate, allowing me to move forward. I took a couple of hours to swap out the original with the new one. A new thermal expansion tank was installed as a part of the process. The pressurized the system upon completion. No water or gas leaks were happening at this time. I set the temperature to the “A” setting. I informed Mr. Crawford about the general differences between each of the settings. I added that the manual for the water heater can further help as well. Advise

Upon arrival, customer stated that they had a leak in the shower. I had been there a couple months earlier to an unknown leak. I seen that the week appeared again. Luckily, I spotted it and traced it back to the shower drain looks like all I needed to do was re-putting it so I could reseal it, and it stop leaking. Customer also showed me fill valve that was making a lot of noise I recommended to replace it I don’t check pressures and we were working on pressurize lines he was having high pressure issue as well I gave them a quote to do all three things he decided to get it all done. I replaced the pressure reducing valve and then I resealed the drain hole with the toilet it was very corroded and when I replaced the fill valve and just kept on running the tank to bowl was not grading a seal I showed this to the customer and since they were paying quite a bit. I did it for the price of the fill valve that I quoted them for upon completing the whole rebuild I checked for any leaks there w

Upon arrival, customer stated that there was low water pressure in kitchen fixture on hot side and no pressure at all in hall bath lavatory fixture. After further inspection, determined that lines and fixtures were clogged with calcium buildup from sediment located inside of heater water heater. Stated to customer that I could attempt to clean out buildup in fixtures but highly recommended replacement of electric water heater. Was able to restore pressure in hall bath lavatory by clearing aerator, and after attempting to clean kitchen fixture on hot side, had a small increase of pressure. Water pressure in home is at 70psi. Customer stated she will contact us as soon as she decides to have heater replaced. Thank you for choosing Keep Smiling Plumbing.
