Responded to service call for non-functional exterior faucet. Upon inspection, determined existing hose bib had failed and required complete replacement. Accessed water supply line through interior wall cavity, requiring strategic opening of drywall to reach copper piping behind brick exterior. Shut off main water supply and removed deteriorated outdoor spigot assembly from exterior brick wall. Installed new frost-free hose bib with proper pitch for drainage, ensuring secure mounting through brick veneer into structural framing. Soldered new connections to existing copper supply line, pressure tested system for leaks, and verified proper operation of new fixture. Restored water supply and confirmed no leaks at connection points or through wall penetration.

Responded to service call for toilet with poor flushing performance. Upon inspection, confirmed that internal flush valve components required replacement. Removed existing worn flapper assembly and inspected flush valve seat for damage or mineral buildup. Cleaned valve seat surface and installed new flapper mechanism to restore proper seal and flushing function. Tested toilet operation multiple times to verify complete flush cycles and proper tank refill. System now operating within normal parameters with full flushing capacity restored.

Responded to a toilet leaking at the base. Upon arrival, inspected the fixture and identified water seepage around the base connection to the floor flange. Removed the toilet, replaced the wax ring seal, and reinstalled the unit with proper bolting to ensure a watertight seal. Tested the toilet with multiple flushes to confirm the leak was resolved and no further water discharge was present at the base.

Completed installation of two 50-gallon water heaters in basement utility space with full copper piping connections and brass fittings. All units were properly positioned, plumbed with vertical supply lines, and connected to existing infrastructure per manufacturer specifications and local plumbing codes.
