Unusual closet fl**ge for a Toto Neorest toilet. We came out after multiple other plumbing companies couldn't figure out why it was leaking the best guess was a crack in the plastic and they replaced the special order fl**ge and charged the client $600 but it still leaked. We inspected the toilet and took it apart to find out the rubber seal on the fl**ge wasn't making contact with the outlet on the toilet but it was a existing toilet that hadn't leaked before. We found that the tile floor had been replaced recently, the tile company removed the fl**ge to remove the old tile and then they installed the fl**ge on the concrete and tiled around it causing the fl**ge to sit too low in a depression caused by tiling around the fl**ge and the toilet to sit on the tile 1" higher, just high enough to cause a leak. We removed the fl**ge and filled in the depressed area with a high strength grout, then reinstalled the fl**ge level with the tile.
Hiring a handymen or anyone but a real plumber to install or service your plumbing system or fixtures is like stepping over a $20 dollar bill to pick up a dime. You may think you're saving money by not hiring a real plumber because it's a simple task almost always cost clients more in the end. If a flood or fire is caused by improperly installing or servicing anything plumbing and you can't show the insurance company that a licensed plumbing company did the work they can deny the claim in some cases, it may seem simple but improperly installing even a simple plumbing task can completely destroy a home. Don't chance your life or your home to save a couple bucks hire a real professional and capable plumber which are hard to find outside the union. A union plumber is the highest paid in the industry and for a good reason they have the experience and education to provide the highest quality product possible and understand the importance of "doing it right the first time" which draws the best of the best to the union side.

Rough-in with shut off valves on the hot and cold lines for a corner mop sink/janitor sink for a 5 story building and there was 2 of these fixtures on each floor. Installed a total of 10 with 5 on each side of the building and stacked on top of each other 5 floors high. Installation of the water lines was done with type "L" copper and propress fittings. The waste and vents were installed with no-hub cast iron pipe/fittings with heavy duty Husky no-hub bands (The code requires metallic piping for buildings more than 2 stories high due to the toxic fumes plastic puts out in the event of a fire which can make the air toxic which makes you think do you really want the water you drink to come from something that's potentially toxic? Something to consider when choosing what type of pipe to install on your next repipe, remodel or new build.

6am starting the day off with draining a water heater for a temp set which is where we temporarily set a water heater further away from the existing location usually for drywall repair or remodeling purposes so the work can be done around the water heater with it out of the way while remaining operational during repairs or remodeling.
