Don’t let or even worse, pay handy Andy to do your plumbing. It’s a waste of money, it doesn’t work and it leaks and you’ll be calling a plumber to do it the right way in the end.

This poor homeowner went to unscrew their mailbox from the front of the house and got a nice unexpected shower and fried the electrical outlet below it! The funny thing is, that screw was in a heating supply pipe for over 20 years, and never showed any signs of leakage, and did not freeze or burst in the outside wall! P.S. don’t use 3 inch long screws to mount your mailbox in front of your house especially if it’s directly behind an electrical outlet! The heat line should not be there, regardless, and the insulation should have been on the exterior side of that piping anyways!

Got an old leaking 3 handle tub and shower valve and don’t want to retile? Call us and we’ll put in a solid valve with a cover plate. Nice shiny and new! ✨

Cannot stress enough the importance of water filtration/softening. This unit was only 4 years old and the hard well water ate away at the internal seals causing a leak in the heat exchanger. This was on a system that was routinely maintenanced and flushed out by another company. This was a unit, we have had this same issue countless number of times with and , sometimes only within a years time! That is the same water you wash your dishes with, brush your teeth, wash your hair and maybe even drink! Pretty nasty huh?!

Why it’s always important to use the same material for clips. Clip on the right is copper. The clip holding up the piping on the left was galvanized steel and not copper, so it rusted out the piping overtime and caused a leak.

Bigger isn’t always better! The intake and exhaust vents on the original install terminated at the same level and were within 7 inches apart from each other. This resulted in a prematurely, burnt up flame rod, leading to no hot water so we corrected the vent terminations and replaced the flame rod and it fired right up. This is what happens in many bigger companies where no one checks their work.

Another install. Homeowners insurance company suggested an automatic whole house smart water shut off and monitoring device. Jobs don’t always go smoothly, as they rarely ever do in the plumbing world, but just thought we would show you how fun it can be sometimes. We installed the in-line automatic shut off and turned the water back on, and due to the spray foam insulation, it pushed off the original piping 1 inch so it would not line up correctly causing a leak. We had to shave it off carefully and reset the piping to line up properly and you can see what a mess it makes.

This is why piping is not allowed below cast iron, especially when it is unsupported. The weight of cast iron pipe needs to he adequately supported and can not be held up by PVC.
