tankless water heater

This customer had a 50 gallon water heater that unfortunately ruptured and flooded part of her house. Rather than install a new 50 gallon water heater, she opted to replace it with a tankless water heater. We worked with the plumber and installed ceramic tile in the closet to prevent damage should water ever leak in this closet again.


If you are interested in tankless water heaters* or ceramic tile, call us at (866) 596-2030.


* We don't install tankless water heaters but can refer you to licensed plumbers who do.

Siding Replacement

As you can see in this photo the bottom edge of the siding is weather damaged. We removed the siding, installed new siding, and caulked and painted it. One issue that comes up every once in a while is rotted framing behind the siding. Since it's concealed there is no way to know if it is damaged until the siding is pulled off. In addition to framing repairs, insulation and sheetrock may also need to be replaced.

OLD SIDING REMOVED


NEW SIDING AND TRIM INSTALLED


SIDING AND TRIM PAINTED AND DOWNSPOUT REATTACHED

Tub Skirt Plumbing Holes

This customer had a tub with an out of date, leaking faucet. Unfortunately, when the plumber arrived to replace it, the holes in the marble were too small to accommodate the new plumbing fixtures. We were hired to enlarge the holes.


As you can see, the new pipe does not fit in the existing hole.


After the hole is enlarged, the pipe fits easily.

If you have an out of the ordinary project and you're not really sure who to contact - call Rainy Day Services at (866) 596-2030.

Metal Door and Wood Frame Repair

Is the caulking around your exterior door starting to crack or pull away from the brick or siding? Is the wood frame itself damaged by pets or rain? Here is a small job we just finished. We re-caulked the door frame and painted it. The metal door also had some dents in it. A little Bondo, sanding, and paint, and the door looks as good as new.

Mystery Leak Found

We have a client in Allen who has had a leak over their downstairs kitchen sink for quite a while. Initial thoughts were that it was coming from the bathroom upstairs but that turned out not to be the case. We decided the best course of action would be to cut out the sheetrock above the sink and inspect the ceiling space. It turns out the problem had been there since the house was built. Evidently, the electrician or other contractor needed to drill a hole through the ceiling joist. When he did, he drilled through the PVC pipe too. This PVC pipe is a plumbing vent and its purpose is to help water drain properly from toilets, sinks, tubs, etc. Without getting real technical, this hole is the source of the problem. We recommended our client contact the builder for warranty repairs.



If you are having difficulty locating a leak or need help with other home improvement projects, please call Rainy Day Services at (866) 596-2030.
