Pride Plumbing came out and dug down in the yard to expose and access the outside main sewer septic drain line, cut into the line, installed two new two-way PVC cleanouts with caps (connecting them to the existing outside main sewer septic drain line with new PVC fittings and Fernco couplings), covered the area we dug up after installation, and added concrete collars around the cleanout caps.

This included checking the pressure gauge at the well and it was holding steady pressure.

Pride Plumbing came out and provided a cost estimate to perform the following work: 1) install a return osmosis (RO) whole-house water filtration system underneath an island sink; 2) install a RO faucet on the island sink; 3) make all the proper water and drain line connections; and 4) after the new RO system and faucet is installed, test them for leaks and proper operation.

Once all the repairs were made, we turned the water back on and tested both toilets for leaks and proper operation with no issues.

We replaced the tank's flapper with a new Lavelle 3060BP red Korky universal flapper and corrected the issue. We provided a cost estimate to replace the toilet with a new Gerber Viper model. This would include draining and pulling the old toilet, inspecting/cleaning/replacing the flange, replacing the toilet bowl, toilet tank, flapper, water fill valve, tank to bowl gasket and bolts, seat, wax ring gasket, toilet bowl bolts, toilet bowl bolt washers, toilet bowl bolt caps, and above-floor stainless steel braided water supply line.
