Raytown, MO HVAC & Plumbing Services

Completed furnace, maintenance and inspection. I cleaned flame sensor and wiped down furnace. I tested amp draws and components. I checked air pressure and temp splits. When I arrived, customer had some questions about the airflow and comfort of their home. After looking at the set up of the returns and vents, I was able to diagnose the issues they were having with comfort. The air pressure on their system is well over max. I explained how that can damage and shorten the lifespan of their system as well. We talked about options to correct the airflow, pressure and comfort of their home. I offered our membership as well. Furnace is operational at departure.

Inspection of the plumbing system revealed multiple failures resulting in active sewage leakage. A cracked 90-degree bend at the toilet flange is causing sewage spillage. Additionally, the above-ground cast iron plumbing stack has multiple cracks and is leaking. A broken drain line beneath the slab was also identified, affecting the laundry and kitchen lines. The condition of the piping is consistent with material deterioration and structural failure. Repairs will require removal and replacement of the damaged cast iron piping with new Schedule 40 PVC piping, replacement of the cracked toilet flange fitting, installation of new laundry and kitchen drain lines, and elimination of the broken pipe beneath the slab to restore proper function and sanitary conditions. Immediate repair is recommended to prevent further damage and health hazards.

We first proceeded downstairs to assess the reported leak and found that the drainage pipe was completely cracked, which is the source of the leakage. We then inspected the upstairs bathrooms, where the customer reported leaks around both toilets. After further investigation, we discovered that both toilet flanges were completely cracked, contributing to the leaking issues. Additionally, the customer reported a problem with the emergency shut-off valve. Upon inspection, we found that the valve was leaking and not fully shutting off as intended.
