Issue Description
We received a call from a client who reported an unusually high water bill.
Actions Taken
- Initial Appointment:
- We scheduled an appointment with the homeowner on the same day to investigate the issue.
- Inspection of Interior Plumbing:
- Upon arrival, we inspected all plumbing fixtures inside the house to ensure there were no internal leaks.
- Our inspection confirmed that there were no leaks within the house.
- External Water Line Assessment:
- We shut off the main water valve feeding the house.
- We checked the water meter and observed that it was still running, indicating a leak between the meter and the house.
- Diagnosis and Recommendation:
- The problem was identified as being in the section of the water line between the meter and the house.
- The homeowner agreed to replace the entire line, as the existing galvanized pipe was very old, had numerous holes, and was heavily corroded.
- Project Execution:
- We began the project on the same day, replacing the old galvanized pipe with a new copper pipe.
- After installing the new pipe, we conducted thorough testing to ensure there were no leaks.
- Cleanup and Customer Satisfaction:
- After completing the project, we cleaned the work area thoroughly.
- The customer was very pleased with the prompt service, the new copper pipe, and the improved water quality.
Result
The replacement of the old galvanized water line with a new copper pipe was successfully completed on the same day. The new water line was tested and confirmed to be leak-free. The customer expressed satisfaction with the efficient service and the resulting clean water supply.
