Arrived on site for a customer reporting a caved-in floor. The customer previously had another plumber assess the issue, who opened the cabinet floor and suspected the problem originated in the crawl space. The customer pointed out the crawl space access location. The customer mentioned that he contacted his insurance company, and they recommended our services. I informed him that accessing the crawl space involves an additional charge, as it is considered a confined space. The customer stated that the issue first occurred in March, but since then, he has not noticed any signs of an active leak. He also attempted to follow up with his insurance provider regarding payment—specifically to confirm whether they would reimburse him or pay us directly—but has not yet received a response.

Arrived on site to perform a plumbing inspection. Began by preparing to flush the water heater; however, the customer informed me that the unit was recently installed in March of this year. Given that the water heater is only about a month old, I advised the customer that flushing can be postponed until next year, as manufacturers typically recommend flushing once annually. Proceeding with the inspection, I checked the remainder of the home’s plumbing system and tested the water pressure. The house pressure measured at 55 PSI, which is within the normal operating range. At the time of this visit, no issues were found with the plumbing system. Everything is functioning properly.

AC Spring Checkup: Conducted an inspection of the air conditioning system at your location. During this visit, we verified the condition of key components, including checking the filter, indoor blower motor, and associated electrical connections. Additionally, we performed a comprehensive review of the condensate management systems, ensuring proper function of the pan, line, pump, and trap. We also confirmed the operational effectiveness of all safety devices related to the water system. To enhance system reliability, condensate tablets were added. Temperature readings taken during our assessment indicated a return air temperature of 73°F, a supply air temperature of 50°F, and a discharge air temperature of 67°F. Furthermore, we evaluated refrigerant levels, with liquid line temperature at 59°F and suction line temperature at 55°F. The inspection was conducted in conjunction with the renewal of your service contract, which has been offered at no charge as a valued contract member.

From my findings this estimate will solve the repeated gurgling immediately Kitchen sink has been having issues every month or so and when someone clears line, it backs up again momentarily. Viewed drainage undersink and followed customer to basement and viewed cleanout on 3in stack inside wall. Made customer aware I would like to check aged Studor Vent undersink before proceeding. Through more conversation with customer, I was given permission to remove existing Studor Vent under kitchen sink. With Vent removed, drainline flowed freely with no gurgling or backups. Customer is also concerned with amount of time hot water takes to get through home. Listened to all of customers concerns and assessed situations based on concern level. Formulated investment options for customer approval and explained all options. Customer would just like undersink drainage rectified today. Customer would like to revisit option recommended after returning from vacation and will contact us. Cut out existin

Arrived on site for a customer complaint regarding a bad smell. Upon inspection, we did not notice any odor and found no issues. The maintenance man joined us and mentioned that the best way to test for a vent issue would be to perform a smoke test to check for any leaks in the vent line. He suggested walking around and asking other agents if they are experiencing the same issue. If more than one person is complaining about the smell, they will proceed with a smoke test. Thank you for choosing Vito.

Arrived on site for a low water pressure call. Customer showed me the area of concern, which was the kitchen sink. She stated that another technician had previously been out to fix a building issue and replace a CPVC line. After that repair, she noticed low water pressure at the faucet. I removed the aerator and found it was filled with CPVC shavings. I cleaned it out and reinstalled it, but the water pressure was still low. I then installed a new aerator, and the customer now has good water pressure. This call is a callback on the previous technician. Thank you for choosing Vito.

The technician responded to a service call regarding the Rheem furnace, where the pilot light was extinguished. After addressing the issue, the gas supply to the furnace was turned off to ensure safety. Additionally, the owner expressed interest in having parts installed by Thursday, pending availability. We aim to provide a quote for the chimney liner by that time, and will coordinate communications should the necessary parts arrive this afternoon. Returned and replaced warranty gas valve and test. New gal valve has bad hms. Gas valve receives 24v but does not open. Need order new gas valve. Return and replace.

I arrived at my customer home for a one system AC maintenance outdoor temperature 45 degrees and raining at this point customer like her thermostat set between 65 and 80 degrees in the home I adjusted customer thermostat five degrees below the room temperature in AC mode I check all amps and components indoor and outdoor compressor making a humming noise and vibrating I recommend a replacement of the full system I provided pricing and proposal for replacement customer sign and will like it to be installed the week of 21 to 25 system working at this time.

I arrived on-site for a slow-draining tub. The customer showed me the area of concern and mentioned that when they were showering, they heard their toilet start gurgling. I told the customer I would test the system to ensure there were no mainline issues. I ran the bathroom shower and lavatory for 10 minutes, and after 10 minutes, no backups occurred. I explained to the customer that they might have had a soft blockage that freed itself up. If it had still been clogged, we would have seen the toilet begin bubbling or gurgling. For today, I will only charge the dispatch fee. Thank you for choosing Vito.

Performed heating maintenance and found the system operating within normal conditions. The system does not include air conditioning and is currently low on refrigerant charge. It is an older 3-ton R22 system, which uses a discontinued refrigerant. Due to its age, condition, and refrigerant limitations, I recommend considering a full system replacement for improved performance and long-term reliability.

System is a 2022 80% Furnace/AC system. Checked all components for proper operation found no issues with components. Secured any loose wires and checked for dirt and debris. Found blower is clean along with evaporator coil. System does not have an Air Scrubber or Humidifier. Checked condenser unit for proper operation. Checked all starting components found starting components working. Check refrigerant level and found system good. Final cycled system at the time system is operational. Fully checked heating and cooling system.
