Case Study: Hot Water System Replacement in Maryville
Introduction:
Maryville resident, Sarah, recently found herself in a predicament when her hot water system suddenly ruptured. With no hot water and a potential safety hazard on her hands, she knew she needed to call for professional help. After searching online for local plumbing services, Sarah came across Reactive Plumbing & Electrical’s ad and decided to give them a call.
Assigned Technician:
The job was assigned to Theran, one of Reactive Plumbing & Electrical’s experienced service technicians. Known for his attention to detail and problem-solving skills, Theran was the perfect fit for this particular job.
Job Description & Solution:
Sarah explained the situation to Theran upon his arrival at her home in Maryville (2293). He immediately got to work by conducting a pressure test on the incoming water supply of the unit. The results showed that the pressure exceeded the allowable limit of 500kpa and was actually at 700kpa. Upon further inspection, Theran also discovered that the water heater valves were over 20 years old.
Based on these findings, Theran recommended installing a 500kpa pressure regulating valve at the isolation tap for Sarah’s unit as well as replacing all of the old valves with new ones for her water heater. He presented Sarah with different options for repairs and after careful consideration, she decided to go ahead with an Everhot 135l tank replacement in its current location.
To ensure quality materials were used for this job, Theran sourced everything needed from reputable suppliers before starting any work. He then proceeded by isolating the water supply and draining out the existing tank which he disposed offsite according to proper waste management protocols.
Once the old tank was removed, Theran installed the new Everhot 135l tank and connected it to the existing valves with new pipework. He conducted thorough testing upon completion to ensure everything was in proper working order before leaving Sarah’s home.
