Before and after
What the customer called about
A church-run learning center in downtown Tulsa needed the sinks hooked up in two back-to-back classrooms, an adult sink and a children's sink in each room.
What our plumber found
In both rooms the shut-off valves for one side sat in the next cabinet over, so the supply lines would not reach without extensions. The drains tie into galvanized pipe coming out of the wall. In one room the toilet was backing up because it was caked with drywall debris, and the siphon jet was packed with it too.
How we fixed it
We connected each faucet to the quarter-turn shut-off valves, adding supply line extensions to reach the far cabinet. We tied each sink into the galvanized drain and installed a new P-trap, then turned the water on and tested. We ran our toilet auger through the clogged toilet several times to free the blockage and cleaned the drywall out of the siphon jet. Where we saw a dripping faucet and a children's faucet with low pressure, we let the staff know so their maintenance person could follow up.
What this means for your building
Commercial work means working around people who have a job to do. We hook it up, test it, and tell you plainly what still needs attention.
