π Another Busy Day for Teal Plumbing! π§π§
A customer called us out after noticing signs of a small fire around their atmospheric vent water heater. After a thorough inspection, we found the causeβa large bees' nest had made its way into the burner assembly, restricting proper combustion.
β
Removed and cleaned out the bees' nest and debris
β
Replaced the burner assembly per manufacturer recommendations
β
Installed a protective screen to help prevent future insect intrusion
β
Added a proper sediment trap (drip leg) to the gas line for improved safety and code compliance
While on site, we also took care of a failing irrigation backflow assembly:
β
Replaced a severely leaking backflow preventer
β
Installed support brackets and easy-to-remove unions for simple winterization and future maintenance
β
Fully tested the backflow device and verified it is operating properly and meets code requirements
At Teal Plumbing, we take the time to find the root cause of the problem and provide long-lasting, professional repairsβnot just quick fixes.
