Takoma Park, MD

Main Line Stoppage: arrived onsite, main line blockage between 2nd floor bathroom and 1st floor powder room bathroom. pulled 2nd floor bathroom toilet and set it in bathtub. scraped wax off of flange. set up K-60 snake. snaking cables would not fit through snake machine at first so we had to take apart the drive belt and the jaw set and adjust them so cables would fit through. jaw set was restricting the 7/8" cables and not allowing cables to fit through machine. also had to take apart clutch and adjust it so that we could properly snake the drain. existing flange was open spigot style flange with 45 degree angle facing towards us so it was difficult to remove the cables because of the bend. snaked approximately 45' with K-60 and hit blockage around 30 feet. ran lavi faucet while removing cables from drain to aid in flushing out the line. ran water from nearby toilet supply line into drain for 10 minutes to ensure the blockage was clear. set new wax ring and closet bolts on flange. set

Slow Draining Toilets: arrived onsite, customer has 1st and 2nd floor bathroom blockage issues. 2nd floor full bathroom all 3 fixtures are backed up. 1st floor half bathroom lavatory sink is draining fine but toilet seems to be clogged (potentially just an old toilet needing to be replaced and that is the reason for the slow drainage). basement bathroom all 3 fixtures are draining normally. located cleanout in basement floor, opened it up and ran garden hose down - drained normally. was able to plunge 1st floor toilet to get water to go down. attempted to clear 2nd floor toilet with plunger and auger to no avail so at that point I knew it was a main line blockage. will come back tomorrow to pull 2nd floor toilet and snake with K-60.

I replaced it with a T4 thermostat wired it all back together and tested the thermostat and the unit. Ran it through its cycles and kicked on. I left the unit running and heating. Keep in mind the unit has reached its life expectancy and something else can possibly go wrong. If there's any issues or concerns please feel free to give us a call. Final temperature rise. Return air temperature 69 and supply air temperature was 124. All okay for now I let the unit run for about 45 ! minutes before I left. And I did show the client how to use the new T stat.

08/01/2024 Looked at assembly which was displaying a drip about every 15 seconds consistently. Jose noticed the puddle about a week after I certified the assembly. He also mentioned that there had been a water shut down here for some internal work. I quoted Mr. Canales $325. to take assembly apart and clean. Since assembly is so new ( just over a year) I thought that may be all that was needed. Mr. Canales did not like that price too much. I went over all the options with him and then decided I would " try something stupid". I did a quick flush on test cocks 2 ,3 and 4. That stopped the drip. Mr. canales said he would mail the $90. check
