Germantown, MD

Backflow Prevention Testing: I tested one backflow preventer and it passed, serial #256638. The address here is 12900 Cloverleaf center Dr. Dusty will send a check today.

Backflow Prevention Testing: When I got into the sprinkler room I found one of the ejector pumps for the sewage pit running flat out. I turned the pumps off and then back on and tested them. They worked fine and the one did not repeat it uncontrolled run it was doing. If there are anymore problems they will have to be looked at in earnest. I tested the two backflows with one passing and one failing. The failure is on the domestic line serial number 40096. I will put a quote together to rebuild the assembly as it is only 5 years old.

Water Heater Installation: arrived onsite, noticed water heater is only 5 years old and customer still has heat and hot water. did not notice any corrosion on bottom of water heater. looks like previous installer reused existing pan which was slightly rusted due to age but water heater itself is OK. customer also informed me that she does not want to go through with today's install for personal reasons. customer also stated she would rather replace water heater during summer months - does not want to go without heat for a day with infant child

Today, I arrived on site for heating maintenance on the water source heat pump. Swapped out the wires at the contactor, ensuring black on black and white on white connections. Checked the water heater and identified two leaking joints. Found one leak on a shark bite fitting before the mixing valve. Discovered another leak near the water shut-off, both joints calcified at this time. Confirmed that the system is heating properly. Recommendations include: Replace water heater parts with copper until reaching the wall, then convert back to PVC. Address the hard-to-turn PVC shut-off valve, as it may affect system performance.
