Project Description:

Several small plumbing problems can add up to a lot of frustration around the house. At this Lafayette area home, Jonah and Taylor took care of two active leaks and helped the customer plan for another repair.

Under the kitchen sink, the basket strainer and tubular drain piping on the left side were leaking. The team replaced those parts and made sure the new connections were secure. The supplied photo shows the finished metal basket strainer, white tubular piping, trap, and wall connection below the sink.

Outside, the crew replaced the backyard hose bib and added a steel support plate to help keep the connection steady when a hose is attached. The finished photo shows a brass hose bib with a green wheel handle mounted to the plate on the brick wall. Both completed repairs came with five year warranties.

The team also evaluated a dripping master bathroom faucet and explained options for a company supplied Delta faucet or a customer supplied faucet. Kourtney said Jonah and Taylor explained the options thoroughly, kept the family informed, and went above and beyond to meet their needs.
