Sump pump at driveway Is not pumping out to the road and is getting clogged up at the pit and whenever it rains hard water floods up the driveway and goes down to the garage and floods it. Homeowner has a 1/2 HP sump pump and we will need to replace it with a 1 HP Sump pump/Grinder pump due to it being undersized. I let homeowner know we will need to have drain team out to camera the line and potentially jet the line due to it being clogged up or replacing the pipe. Left homeowner quote to replace the Sump Pump Only and told them that there will be another quote by drain team about the pipe to see if they got to camera it, jet it, or replace the whole pipe going to the road. If homeowner agrees with both quotes we will need both drain team and the service tech out on the same day.

System not cooling - 12 year old Goodman gas furnace & AC Main Level System During the system evaluation I I observed the the electromagnetic contactor is burnt and pitted. The compressor run winding is out of spec and reading lower than manufacturer parameters, the dual capacitor that powers the fan and compressor is very weak. The condenser coil is dirty, impacted with dirt/debris. The blower wheel in the furnace is dirty as well, impacted with dust/dirt. The flame sensor and the igniter are both chalky and weak. All components on the equipment are original and outdated. How are components generally last around 10 years. Builder grade equipment has a life expectancy of 8 to 12 years on average. I went over the repair options and explained no repairs could guarantee any certain amount of life, as the equipment has already exceeded average life expectancy. This being said, updating the system vs repairs is recommended for reliability. At this time the homeowner chose options A to co

I dug up at the wall penetration and found a 1 x 3/4 sharkbite coupling that had broken.

I removed both of these fittings and replaced with Pex brass fittings. I pressurized the water and verified after 5 minutes no leaks. Then pressurized the house.
