Today, I arrived on site for heating maintenance on the Rheem furnace. Furnace Condition: Heavy rusting observed due to previous water damage.

Rust present on gas valve and inducer housing. Spark ignitor had heavy calcification; cleaned during visit. Flame sensor was in good condition and wiped clean. Burned tubes exhibit rusting. Recommended adding a surge protector to the blower motor due to water damage. Water Leak: Noted a water leak above the sink outside the furnace room. Previous visit indicated a plumber was to address the leak; tenant reported no repairs made. Owner informed about the ongoing leak and will arrange for further inspection. Testing: Performed a combustion test on the furnace; results within specifications. Owner will consider necessary gas repairs.

Sump Pump Replacement Call in College Park, MD: Upon arrival of home I noticed that the pump in the pit was spitting water non stop. When the float is not engaged the pump will stop but this wasn't the case; the pump will need to be replaced. The customer asked if we could get the pump installed today since it was supposed to rain. I was able to get an emergency opening at the supply house for the required sump pump. I then returned to the home and replaced the faulty pump as the older Ridgid pump had burned out causing the pump to run constantly; this failure could have been caused by a bad check valve. the handles to the pump were rusted as well. the new pump is a cast iron Zoeller Sump Pump.
