Bellingham Freeze

 

Bellingham Freeze-Broke Hose Faucet

The Big Freeze won't be soon forgotten by any local plumber; we never worked so hard repairing water pipes under worse conditions.

It ain't over yet. In this picture is the smallest break I've seen this year. When the faucet was turned on, the smallest amount of water would dribble out. The sharp-eyed tenant spotted it right off.

Watch for unusual wetness around your wall when the faucet is turned on.

Bellingham Toilets

Bellingham Toilets Replaced

Nice discount for replacing all the toilets at the same time. The homeowner decided enough was enough and replaced all the Kohler toilets. Good call. 

Bellingham Sewer Drain

 

Drain Under Bellingham Office

The old drain had been rerouted into a semi-circle (must have seemed like a good idea at that time) for some unknown reason. We straightened the curves and everything is going downhill nicely now.

Leak in Bellingham Driveway

 It's that time of year when yards and driveways get dug up to replace the leaking water pipe.

This job was scarier than that movie with the similar name.

It got done, though. Easy Peasy, it was.....

Rust in Water

Rusty water is getting rare because of all plastic piping from the water meter to every faucet in the house. When I get a call about it, it's frustrating. All it takes is one steel pipe in the system to create problems. These before and after photos is the perfect example and I stumbled on it by accident.

 

Check your water heater!

This beauty was located in the rental house's crawlspace. The water was boiling inside the 240 volt connection box causing steam to rise into the bathroom directly above. The tenants noticed steam and all sorts of exotic mold when opening the drawers.

Yikes.
