Pipe Works services technician Zach was dispatched to a call in Hillsborough, NJ. He is very familiar with the area since he lives in that town and from a customer referral was sent to diagnose a problem on an existing air conditioning unit. The customer stated that the system was leaking water during a couple hot days.
Zach found the system to be very low on refrigerant, which was causing the evaporator coil to freeze. The frozen coil was producing water and spilling on the floor. Due to the age of the system being 20 year old, Pipe Works Services removed and recycled the customer's old equipment and installed a new 90,000 BTU Armstrong 2-Stage Variable Speed Furnace, 3 Ton Armstrong Condensing Unit, Armstrong Coil with ComfortSync Thermostat.
Now there is no more leakage!
A customer in Far Hills, NJ called Pipe Works Services about her furnace not working correctly. She previously called about the furnace being a bit noisy which we had fixed prior. Our Service Manager Mike T was out to diagnose what exactly was going on. Upon arrival, the motor wasn't working correctly and the unit was not blowing any air whatsoever. Mike continued to diagnose what exactly was the issue. He came to the conclusion that the inducer motor, which moves gases and air out of the furnace and up through the chimney, needed to be replaced. Mike T installed a new draft inducer motor and the furnace was as good as new!
A new customer who works near Pipe Works Services requested us to diagnose an air conditioning unit taking awhile to turn on. Pipe Works Services technician Zack diagnosed that there was a faulty in the capacitor motor. Zach replaced the capacitor and the fan began to run smoothly. A faulty capacitor can cause a bad winding that intermittently causes the motor to seize. Zach recommended that the motor be changed as well due to the capacitor being formally damaged. Zach replaced the motor and also suggested to the customer that a Service agreement with Pipe Works Services that included 2 visits for Spring and Fall for the units to be maintained would dramatically improve the life span of his HVAC system. The customer signed up and we performed both services as well!

The technician arrived at the customers house for a $99 drain cleaning. The customer had a toilet clogged he used a toilet auger to clear the blockage after 3 times.

Our technicians were called out to a Pizzeria in Bernardsville, New Jersey for a clogged drain that had over flowed. Upon arrival the restaurant was flooded with grease and sewer water. The customer only wanted to camera the line at the time due to the fact he had 2 plumbers out to snake the line and failed. After explaining to the store owner that the jetting would be the way to go, we were able to clear the line which had lots of grease built up in it. The tech was only able to go approximately 20 feet with the camera due to a t-connection in the sewer line which blocked it from going further. Our technicians used a high power hydro jetting machine to flush out the debris and grease from the trap. The line is now clog free and operating properly.
A customer called into our office complaining of a leak before the main shut off valve. The water company had to come and shut the street valve down to stop the water flow. The customer furnished and we installed a new whole house regulator and secondary isolation valve. The technician tested and checked for leaks before leaving the customer's home.
We received a call from a customer who was experiencing a lot of clogs and slow drains in the home. Our drain specialist arrived on site to perform a high-pressure water jetting on the main sewer line. He began by camera inspecting the main sewer line. The tech then hydro jetted the line multiple times in order to clean the pipe to the best of his abilities. After high-pressure water jetting the line he then flushed out the entire system. The technician inserted the camera again to inspect the cleanliness of the line and ensure proper flow. He tried to remove the tree roots and noted a clean-out is highly recommended. The clean out was recommended just in case any future back ups occur there is access to snake it from outside instead of removing the toilet bowl.
Customer called in to schedule her heating maintenance. The technician arrived on site and inspected the furnace. Technician checked over all components and recommended to replace the hot surface ignitor and the flame sensor. The customer agreed to replace the ignition components. Parts were ordered and the technician returned with materials. The technician removed the old hot surface ignitor and flame sensor and replaced with new. The technician then turned the furnace on to ensure it fired up and was heating the house. A combustion analysis was then performed to make sure unit was operating safely. The technician then went over the work with the customer. Customer was happy that the unit was running properly and heating the home.
Customer called in because she was not able to get water to flow in one of her showers. Upon arrival, the technician spoke to the customer who showed him to the shower that was not working. The technician inspected the shower and found the cartridge was not opening and closing. The technician presented customer with an option to replace the cartridge and the customer agreed. The technician removed the old cartridge and replaced it with a new Moen cartridge. He then put the trim on the shower body. The technician tested the shower by opening and closing the handle repeatedly. The work area was cleaned up and the technician showed the finished work to the customer. The shower was left working properly and the customer was happy to have use of the shower again.
Customer called in stating the hot water is very inconsistent in the shower. He states it does not get hot enough and takes a long time to heat up. Upon technician arrival, customer explained the issue he is having with the shower. The customer told the technician the water coming from the fixture is either luke warm or cold. The technician tested the fixture. The issue seemed to be the shower cartridge. The technician presented customer with an option to change the shower cartridge and the customer accepted. The technician removed the existing cartridge and replaced with new. He then tested the water to see if it would get hot. The water did heat up a little but still did not get hot. The technician went down to the basement to to inspect the piping. Upon closer inspection, the technician found that on the piping close to the half bathroom there was a connection where the cold water tied into the hot water line. The technician explained his findings to the home owner who wanted to proceed with correcting this issue. The technician then shut down the water and cut out the tee. He reconnected the lines cold to cold and hot to hot. The water was restored and the technician checked his work by going back up to the bathroom and running the shower. The water got hot and the issue had been corrected. The customer was very happy that the technician was able to correct the issue.
Customer called in stating they had a pipe that burst and they had to shut the water off. Upon arrival, the tech checked in with the customer who provided him access to the basement. The customer stated they were away and the neighbor noticed excessive water coming out of the sump pump discharge. The neighbor accessed the home for the customer and found water pouring into the basement in the corner above the washer and dryer so they shut the main valve near the water meter off. The technician asked the customer to turn the water back on so that he could determine the source of the leak. Once the water was turned back on, the tech determined the leak was coming from 1/2" water line supplying the backyard hose bib. The technician presented the customer with options to repair. The technician decided to proceed with the work. The technician cut out and removed the existing hose bib, a section of 1/2" copper and failed gate valve. He then drilled a new hole beneath the back deck in the same location as previous hose bib. He did this because the hole diameter needed to be increased to fit the new frost free hose bib. The technician then installed the new 8" frost free hose bib. He then ran new 1/2" pex tubing and installed new 1/2" propress ball valve. The technician then made all connections and tested. The water was restored and technician checked for leaks. None were found. The technician then cleaned up the work area and went over his work with the customer who was happy to not have water pouring into the basement any longer.
Customer called in stating they installed a thermostat themselves and now it is not working. Upon arrival, technician met with homeowner and was granted access to the thermostat. The technician inspected the thermostat and found the wire not connected properly and the thermostat needing to be programmed. The technician presented the customer with options to repair and the customer decided to proceed. The wire was connected properly and the technician programmed the thermostat and tested operations. The technician then visually inspected the AC system and found there was a burnt fuse. He spoke to the customer about the fuse and provided an estimate to replace. The customer decided to proceed with replacing the fuse. The technician replaced the fuse and tested the system. System was working properly. The technician cleaned up the work area and went over his work with the customer who was happy to have everything working properly again.
