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.

Spring check up on two units. #1 Bryant 2017 furnace and ac. I checked the indoor filter and found it had been replaced upon today’s arrival. I checked indoor blower motor housing and compartment for any obstructions and found none. Blower amps are within specs. I checked the 7.5 mfd capacitor on blower and found okay. I checked the indoor evap coil and found clean with no rust. I didn’t notice any fungle growth. I tested straight shot pvc condensation line that goes straight to condensate pump and I flushed it with a gallon of water and added condensate tablets. I checked all wiring and connections and all limits and safety’s found okay. I got a return air temp of 64 degrees and a supply air temperature of 49 degrees which is low. I proceeded to check the outdoor condenser coil and I noticed it was clean and no obstruction. I checked compressor amps and found within specs. I checked the fan motor amps and also found within specs. I checked both components outside which include of

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 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.

Arrived onsite and viewed street full of WSSC digup crew trucks and dump trucks. Spoke to WSSC personnel upon departure of vehicle and was told the were about to digup their side of 10303 and I wasn't needed onsite. Customer came outside and I spoke with customer, who states he called WSSC yesterday but no one spoke to him. There is a huge tree outside that could be a continuous issue in area. Made customer aware, when WSSC is finished, if our services are still required please contact us and today's dispatch fee will be applied to flow restoration. Thank you for choosing Vito!

arrived onsite, performed plumbing inspection. areas of concern included exposed basement copper waste/vent piping - substantial electrolysis buildup compromising pipe integrity. 3 toilets on 1st floor need new flappers - existing flappers will very likely fail soon leading to running toilets and high water bill $$$. under kitchen sink, hot side valve (kitchen faucet hot water & dishwasher) should be replaced with new 1/4 turn dual angle stop. also kitchen faucet cold water multi-turn valve should be replaced with 1/4 turn valve. existing multi-turn valves have tendency to freeze over time and in event of emergency or fixture replacement there will be an issue. gave customer inspection report with total cost for all areas of concern. advised customer that the more work she goes with, more discounts will be applied. ultimately, customer wants to forego the flapper replacements and go with the basement DWV pipe replacement and the kitchen sink valve replacements. office please call custo
