Toilet not flushing or filling properly when I arrived. The flapper was leaking and the fill valve was hardly filling the 2nd level hall bath toilet. I replaced the flapper and fill valve and toilet is now working as should.

Furnace repair. The customer mentioned a loud noise coming from the furnace. After diagnosing and performing plenty of tests, found 2nd floor duct blade damper doesn’t fully open to the vertical position, causing the air pressure difference as the air goes around the damper, causing the noise. After manually opening it all the way and testing, the damper still opens to the “almost all the way open position,” however, the high-pitched noise has now stopped. Tested the furnace system multiple times. Giving a customer estimate for replacing the blade damper. What they have now they no longer make.

Furnace tune-up and safety inspection. The system is from 2006! Tested all mechanical components. Cleaned all sensors. Found f/s and HSI very corroded. Customer agree to replace both parts. Took a lot of pictures in hopes of helping provide detail to the condition of this system. Found the inducer motor is making a loud noise, and is leaking on the back where it connects to the collector box, causing water damage. Found the humidifier pad filter to be very calcified. This system is also an R22 AC system, which I added refrigerant to in 2023. Gave customer estimates for complete system replacement due to age, out of warranty, and the condition of everything. They are considering and will get back to us. The furnace is heating and operating adequately at this time. The system is at the end of its lifespan. Customer renewed VIP maintenance plan. One visit is being used today, and they will have spring/ac visit of 2026 season prepaid. Performed free inspections.

Burner would not ignite. Chris helped with troubleshooting and believes it’s the gas valve, he will pick that up and replace it in the morning.
Brennon E.
Furnace service. Water leak. Customer had a little water drip from his chimney, but his furnace has been off for a week and a half and then we got a big snowstorm so any ice or snow buildup that would have accumulated at the top of his chimney outside of the house, when the furnace turned back on would’ve caused any thawing, therefore a small drip down the chimney, customer stated that he did not wipe up the water and that it dried itself, proving that the heat from the chimney and exhaust of the furnace has dried out the chimney causing no more leakage.

Commercial sewer and drain cleaning. Rodded out the floor sink in the southwest corner of the kitchen. It was only the sink that backed up in the whole kitchen. It should have only been a 20’ run to open to the grease trap, but I think the line runs clear to the other end of the kitchen and ties back in to the grease line there, and comes all the way back to the grease trap. Rodded out approximately 50 to 60 ‘ to open the line. The grease trap was not full. Blockage was in the line. I continued to run hot water for 20 minutes after opening to try and melt the grease into the trap. Everything is operating as it should.
