I was a pitcher.
Yeah.
I had 12. I had
BYU, Utah, Dixie State, SUU and then some California schools and
Some on the East Coast and then I had TCU.
so
yeah
Came home and started plumbing
Love you. Bye
Okay, so we're going to American Fork
Sounds like every time they run water out the hose bib it leaks, so that's not normal
Let's go see if we can help them out
Yeah, so I moved up here
About three and a half years ago
Cuz I met this really cute girl
Yeah, she was going to BYU so moved up for her and found this company about the same time and stars aligned
Got a dream job and a dream girl at the same time
So it all worked out
Here we go
I'll show you what you can kind of expect today. So
what we're gonna do is just take a look at this and just make sure we focus on this and then
Along the way if I notice anything else, we'll just kind of going to evaluate the plumbing system as we go
And if we find anything, I'll just give you some options for what we can do and then before I do any work...
So the hose bib is leaking on the inside of the house any time they run the water
So normally we can rebuild that type of hose bib in this case where it's leaking on the inside
Unfortunately, the only thing we can do is cut it out and replace it. So
We're going to take a canvas drop cloth
We'll cut the sheetrock and we'll replace it. So we're gonna go map out exactly where that hose bib is
We'll cut a hole around it. We'll figure out where exactly it's at
See what kind of pipe it is and then tie it right back in
So we'll go solder an adapter on this, we'll have this go to pex
The biggest role that my family plays in working for Any Hour
It starts, I think with the company and the culture that they've created
They really care about me
And so I don't have to go to work and worry about myself all day
I can go and just take care of the customer and [there it is] doing that it really just
It takes a lot of stress off of me
So I go home and spend all my time
focusing on the family and
just letting go of work and just knowing that I put my hours in and I took care of as many people as possible and
that I can just go have fun and just be with my family and
And that's just ultimately what it boils down to is
just quality time that you spend with your family and
Just knowing that you have them for you always
Okay, no problem, is there anything else we can do for you before we go
Any garbage need to be taken out?
[Oh so beautiful.] Okay. No problem, man. Take it easy.
I was working for the sweetest lady
She's 95. She escaped from Germany when she was just really young
So she actually shook the hand of Hitler. Escaped, Germany
when she was young during the bombings,
and then moved to Scotland and during the bombings in Scotland she ended up running to Canada
and so I had the chance to repipe her house and
every chance I got I would come up and just talk to her and she would just tell me stories and
I'm gonna learn from somebody like that who's experienced so much. It was amazing
So I was actually here yesterday, the disposal was leaking and they wanted to buy one and have me install it so here we go
Yes, yes, that's what I want to hear, you guys are the best
My job's pretty cool, I get to play with play-doh all day
This is called plumber's putty this is what makes it seal watertight
Okay, so I just pulled everything out, I cleaned it all when I put it all back in. I scrubbed the bottom of it
So it's all pretty for ya
It's wired in just like it was before so you really don't have to mess with this too much
Just be careful what you put down there and then like I said get those little
Cleaner balls, the plink balls. Those would really help to keep it clean
Yeah
Good to go. So now we're headed all the way down to Nephi
I've never been down to Nephi since I've been working here. So that will be fun. They're having low water pressure
It sounds like in a few places in the house
And they mentioned something about the water heater
Let's see what this note says, Please use other door. I feel like I'm gonna slide
I appreciate that, or else I would have been on my butt down at the bottom of the stairs
Wow, yeah you've got some old pipe here too. You've got combination of
PVC that's starting to rust out galvanized
Ya got some old pipe in here, it's all PVC
So
They called us out for low water pressure in the bathroom sink and in the kitchen
And so far what I'm seeing is we come inside the house with pex and then it goes to PVC
and then it goes to galvanized
so it's all just
rusting away you can see it's dripping right there
We've seen a lot of galvanized pipe that's starting to rust starting to leak
We're gonna open up the crawlspace access point they made for the bathroom and see what it looks like underneath there
Oh gosh
I think I'm stuck. I better call Elaine before we go too far
- see what she wants to do, how crazy she wants to get
Hello is this Elaine?
So when I walked into the house you have a new water pipe that comes into the house that's pex, so it's a plastic piping
Which is really good, but then it goes into PVC and the PVC comes over and it ties in to a bunch of galvanized piping
She wants to meet up in a couple days, it kind of sounds like she wants to think about it, which is totally fine
If she wants to think about it
That way she could make the best decision and whatever
she's most comfortable with I would I would hate to do a job that she's not comfortable with so
Give her some time to think about it and she wants to meet up in a couple days
So we got rerouted, so now we're headed to Alpine
It sounds like they're trying to use their barbecue and it's just not working. It sounds like something's plugging the gas line
They think it's spiders
possibly so
We're gonna go troubleshoot a gas line and figure out why they're not getting anything out of their barbecue. So that's where we're headed now
Alpine here we come
Hey, how are ya? Good are you Kathy? It's nice to meet you. I'm Brady. I'll be your plumber today.
Perfect yeah, what's going on?
Okay
So
we are getting...
The propane tank is completely full... what we would probably do is have you just order it because if this doesn't work...
But we're gonna check just like your water heater and make sure you don't have high water pressure
Just making sure everything's up to code and safe
But then the disposal downstairs, he says it's not working. So
There's actually a couple of things we can do to troubleshoot this without having to replace it
So how often do you use this... kind of free up like that
So right now, that can move freely, before it was really hard to move
And so now if we put some water in there
To me what makes a really good day is
when you leave someone's house and you can just tell you made a bond and a friendship with them and
Every person we met today we were able to do that. And so that that's definitely a success in my books. I
I just try to focus on taking care of people
I mean that's the best part about what I do is I really really love getting to know people, meeting new people and
learning about people's life
So when you do that and you have a passion for that, I mean
I'm in a perfect line of work because I get to meet a lot of new people every single day
And everybody's problems are different and you know
their situations are a little bit different so I get to come in and help them do something, they can't do themselves. And so it's
It's just a sense of accomplishment knowing that you can take care of people like that
Hi, come here
Can you say hi. Hey sexy
Well, hopefully you've had as much fun as I've had today thanks for riding along with me
