Plumbing Services In Palm Bay, FL

Before flushing the water heater I needed to shut off the fuse on the breaker panel. Once off then I proceeded to hook up my garden hose to the drain port. Once hooked up opened the drain and started to drain the water heater. Let the water fully drain out and watched all the sediment buildup flow out. Then I closed the drain port, and turned the valve back on to start filling up the water heater. Once the heater was all the way full, opened up the tnp to release all the air inside of the tank. Turned the fuse back on to the heater to let it start heating up. Brought the home owner out and had informed her I was done and showed her a video of the sediment coming out. After cleansing up the area I collected payment and sent over invoice.

Pulled up to a home in the Bayside Lakes community in Palm Bay where the homeowner said the master shower had been nearly impossible to regulate temperature-wise and the handle had gotten progressively harder to turn over the past year. Inspected the shower valve and found the original single-handle cartridge had worn through from years of Brevard County mineral-heavy water cycling through it, leaving the temperature mixing erratic and the handle binding under pressure. Replaced the cartridge with a pressure-balancing valve cartridge rated for the existing trim, tested smooth handle operation and confirmed stable temperature control through several full shower cycles before leaving. No more wrestling with the handle and no more surprise temperature swings.

After providing an estimate, the homeowner approved the repairs, and work began immediately. Shut off the water supply and removed the existing dual angle stop beneath the kitchen sink. Installed a copper stub-out onto the PVC water line to allow for a new compression-style angle stop, then allowed the connection to cure before testing. Replaced the exterior hose bib by removing the existing unit, cleaning the copper piping, installing a new adapter, and securing the new hose bib in place. Also replaced the garage water heater expansion tank by draining the necessary amount of water, removing the old tank, and installing the new one using proper thread sealant. Restored water service, checked all connections for leaks, and verified proper operation of the completed repairs.

Arrived on site and met with the homeowner, who explained that Lowe's delivery/installers had delivered a new refrigerator but were unable to complete the installation because they stated the water shutoff valve was not located behind the refrigerator. Upon inspection, I confirmed the shutoff valve was not behind the refrigerator. I located the water shutoff valve beneath the kitchen sink, closed the angle stop, and disconnected the refrigerator supply line to verify that the water supply had been successfully shut off. No water flow was present, confirming the line was properly isolated. The refrigerator is now ready for installation, and the Lowe's installers should have no issue connecting the water line when they return. The homeowner stated that she had already paid Lowe's for the installation service and did not wish to incur an additional installation charge from us.

Arrived on site and met with the customer to review the approved scope of work, which had previously been assessed by Danny. Shut off the toilet angle stop, removed the remaining water from the toilet bowl using a shop vacuum, and pulled the toilet to access the drain line. Ran a drain cable through the toilet flange and worked through the blockage until the line cleared and standing water drained properly. Tested the drain by flushing multiple buckets of water through the opening and confirmed there were no backups or restrictions. Installed a new wax ring and closet bolts, reset the toilet, and secured it properly. Restored the water supply, tested the toilet operation, and verified everything was functioning correctly before completing the service.

The customer called to ask for service for a disconnected floor drain.

Got called to a home in the Sloneridge community in Palm Bay where the homeowner said their tankless water heater had been taking longer and longer to deliver hot water to the master bath and the output volume felt weaker than it used to. This unit had never been flushed since installation and the heat exchanger had a significant calcium and mineral scale buildup from years of Brevard County water running through it without any maintenance. Flushed the heat exchanger with descaling solution, cleared the inlet screen, tested flow rate and temperature output through several demand cycles, and confirmed full performance had been restored. Walked the homeowner through an annual maintenance schedule so they do not end up in the same spot next summer.

Toilet supply line is leaking Arrived on site and met with the homeowner, who stated that the toilet supply line had become disconnected, causing the home to flood. Upon inspection, I confirmed that the supply line was completely disconnected from the fill valve connection. The homeowner already had a replacement supply line available. I removed the damaged supply line and installed the new one. After installation, I restored the water supply and verified that the toilet was operating properly with no leaks present. I demonstrated the completed repair to the homeowner, who was pleased to have the toilet back in service. Collected the service fee and provided the customer with the invoice.

Arrived on site to diagnose a leak from the second-floor bathtub. Opened the first-floor ceiling and wall behind the tub with homeowner approval, identified a failed bathtub overflow gasket, and provided an estimate that was approved on site. Replaced the overflow gasket, reassembled the overflow assembly, tested the bathtub under normal operating conditions, and verified the leak was fully resolved. Cleaned the work area and reviewed the completed repair with the homeowner.
