Q:
|
Describe a project or service that your company recently completed (include challenges, costs, and innovative solutions).
|
|
A:
|
One of our recent projects at Prime Plumbing involved a full plumbing upgrade during a kitchen and bathroom renovation in a 1960s single-family home. The client wanted to modernize both spaces, improve water pressure, and eliminate ongoing issues with leaks and slow drains.
Challenges:
The existing galvanized pipes were severely corroded and inaccessible in some areas due to outdated construction.
The home had limited crawlspace access, and the client wanted to preserve the newly refinished flooring.
The sewer line had multiple belly sections and root intrusion that required immediate attention.
Solutions & Innovations:
We performed a full repiping using PEX, which allowed us to minimize wall damage and reduce labor costs while improving flow and pressure.
For the sewer line, we used trenchless pipe bursting to replace the damaged section without tearing up the yard saving time and restoring functionality within two days.
We also installed low-flow fixtures and an energy efficient tankless water heater, reducing long-term utility costs for the homeowner.
Cost:
The total project cost was approximately $18,000, which included all labor, materials, fixture installation, sewer line replacement, and permit handling.
The project was completed on time and within budget. The client was thrilled with the results and left us a 5-star review for our professionalism, cleanliness, and the creative solutions we provided to complex problems.
