At a residential home, there is a suspected leak that is causing water damage in the basement ceiling. Water stains and dampness have appeared, indicating an active leak, but the exact source is not immediately visible. This is from a leaky pipe, faulty appliance connection, or plumbing fixture issue. To address the leak detection and repair at the home I am starting by inspecting visible pipes and connections for signs of moisture or pooling water then use a moisture meter or infrared camera to identify areas of higher moisture levels behind walls or in ceilings. The source of the leak is not visible, we are turning off the main water supply to the house to stop further water damage and pressure on the plumbing system. We are replacing the damage pipe that is causing the link then thorough drying and restoration of any affected areas to prevent mold growth.

The tankless water heater is displaying an error code indicating a flow sensor issue. This error typically occurs when the flow sensor detects insufficient water flow or malfunctions, preventing the heater from operating properly. As a result, the unit intermittently fails to heat water, leading to inconsistent hot water supply throughout the home. To resolve the flow sensor issue with the tankless water heater, start by checking the water inlet filter for any debris or mineral buildup that could be obstructing water flow then I'm cleaning or replace the filter as necessary to ensure adequate water intake into the heater.

The bathroom sink drain is completely blocked, causing water to back up and not drain properly. This blockage is likely due to a buildup of hair, soap scum, and debris over time, restricting water flow and creating a potential hygiene issue. To address the blocked drain, we are removing the drain stopper or cover to access the opening. We will then use a plumbing snake or a straightened wire coat hanger to carefully dislodge and pull out the accumulated hair and debris from the drainpipe. Once the obstruction is cleared, run hot water down the drain to flush out any remaining residue.

The water heater is making unusual noises, such as popping or rumbling sounds. This could indicate sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. Over time, minerals and debris settle at the tank's base, creating a barrier between the heating element and the water. As the heater operates, the trapped water underneath the sediment layer heats up and creates steam bubbles, causing the popping or rumbling noises. To address this issue, we will start by turning off the water heater and allowing it to cool. Once cool, we will connect a garden hose to the drain valve at the bottom of the tank and run it to a drain or outside area. We will open the valve and flush out the tank to remove sediment buildup. We will repeat this process until the water runs clear. After flushing, I will close the drain valve, refill the tank, and turn the heater back on
