Pompano Beach, FL

Got called to a home in Pompano Beach where the homeowner said the in-ground pool had developed a slow water loss that was consistently about two inches per week beyond what could be explained by evaporation alone. Ran a pressure test on the pool return and suction lines and located a leak at a return fitting below the waterline on the pool shell. Drained the pool to the repair level, replaced the failing return fitting and the surrounding collar seal, refilled to the test level, and re-pressurized the line to confirm the repair was holding clean. Pool water loss stopped and the homeowner said the chemical balance had already stabilized by the following week without the constant topping off.

Responded to a commercial property in Pompano Beach where the property manager had received a notice from the Broward County water authority requiring annual backflow preventer certification on the fire suppression supply line and the irrigation system. Conducted certified testing on both assemblies, documented static and differential pressure readings for each device at all required test points, confirmed both units were passing all threshold requirements, and submitted the signed certification documentation to the county authority and provided copies to the property manager for their compliance file. Certification current and on file before their deadline.

Pulled up to a home in the Wyndham Lakes neighborhood in Coral Springs where the homeowner had been dealing with water that smelled slightly off even after having a standard filter installed two years ago. The existing carbon filter was handling taste but doing nothing about biological contamination concerns they had after a neighbor's well system issue in the area. Installed a whole-home water filtration system paired with a UV sterilizer on the main supply line, sized correctly for the household, plumbed the UV unit downstream of the filter media to treat the water after particulate removal, and tested flow rate and UV lamp function before leaving. Homeowner said the water smelled noticeably cleaner at every tap before I finished the paperwork.

Arrived at a home off Atlantic Boulevard in Pompano Beach where the homeowner was building an outdoor grilling station on the back patio and wanted a dedicated natural gas line run from the meter to the grill location rather than dealing with propane tanks all summer. Traced the existing gas supply from the meter along the side of the house, extended new black iron piping through the exterior wall to the patio, installed a properly rated appliance shutoff valve behind the grill location, and conducted a full pressure test on the completed run to confirm zero leakage at every fitting. Homeowner now has permanent natural gas at the grill for the rest of the summer and beyond.

Pulled up to a home in Margate where the homeowner said the guest bathtub had been draining extremely slowly for several weeks and the water would sit in the tub for fifteen minutes after the water was shut off. Inspected the drain and found the overflow plate linkage and shoe assembly had corroded and the stopper was partially stuck in the semi-closed position, restricting drain flow even when the lever was set to open. Replaced the full overflow plate and linkage assembly, cleared the minimal debris in the drain below it, and tested drainage with the tub filled to confirm full open flow. Tub drains immediately now and the stopper opens and closes cleanly.

Got called to a home in Pompano Beach where the T-P relief valve on the water heater had been weeping a small amount of water from the discharge pipe onto the utility room floor periodically, not a full release, just an intermittent drip that stopped and started. Tested incoming supply pressure and found it running significantly above normal range from the street, with thermal expansion having nowhere to go after the utility's check valve on the meter. Installed a properly sized expansion tank above the water heater and replaced the weeping T-P relief valve with a new calibrated unit while I had everything open. Tested through several full heating cycles to confirm pressure was stabilizing and the relief valve was staying dry.

Responded to a home near the Heron Bay community in Parkland where the homeowner had finished building an outdoor kitchen on the back patio and needed plumbing rough-in completed before the countertop and appliances went in. They needed a cold water supply run to the sink location and a drain connected to the sewer system. Ran a new copper supply line from the interior of the house through the exterior wall to the outdoor kitchen island, installed a shutoff valve at the outdoor supply, connected the sink drain with a properly vented p-trap to the nearest cleanout connection, and pressure tested all connections before the counter was set. Supply and drain are water tight and ready for the finish work.

Got a call from a homeowner near the Pompano Beach Golf Course. They'd noticed a soft, damp patch of grass in the front yard that wasn't going away and the water bill had crept up over several billing cycles. Ran leak detection along the main supply line from the meter to the house and located a crack in the underground copper lateral about 8 feet down, right where the line bends under the driveway edge. Ground movement from the heavy vehicle traffic had stressed the joint over time. Excavated the section, replaced it with new copper with reinforced fittings, compacted the backfill carefully, and pressure-tested before restoring service. The grass will dry out and the bill will come back down.

Pulled into a commercial kitchen on Atlantic Boulevard in Pompano Beach after a restaurant manager called saying the prep sink and the floor drain near the fryer station were both draining slow and there was standing water at the end of the shift. Opened up the grease trap and it was well past capacity, baffles coated and the outlet line partially obstructed from accumulated fats and solids. Pumped it out, scraped the interior walls, flushed both inlet and outlet lines, and confirmed proper flow before the next service opened. Got them set up with a maintenance schedule so they don't end up in violation on their next health inspection.

Got a call from a homeowner in Heron Bay up in Coral Springs who had the same main line backup twice in the past year and the previous plumber kept clearing it without figuring out why it kept coming back. Fed the camera through the clean-out and found a Gumbo Limbo tree root that had worked its way into a joint about 30 feet down the lateral, the kind of slow intrusion that just keeps coming back if you don't deal with the source. Cleared the root mass, treated the joint, and walked the homeowner through their options for a liner repair to seal the entry point for good. No more guessing, now they finally know what's been causing it.
