FIG. 04·The work
Typical jobs, plate by plate.
These are the kinds of work this metro generates, described honestly — including which part of each is the awkward one. They are representative of the trade, not a claim about any one address.
FIG. 03
A basement repipe, finished
Galvanised supply replaced through the mechanical wall, with isolation on every branch so a future repair means shutting one line rather than the house.
FIG. 02
A tank swap brought up to code
Expansion tank, a proper T&P discharge and a pan with somewhere to drain. Older homes here are frequently missing at least one of the three.
FIG. 04
A floor-mounted filler set properly
Floor-mounted fillers are unforgiving — the supply has to be exactly where the fixture expects it, and that is decided before the floor goes down.
FIG. 04
An apron sink and bridge faucet
Heavy fireclay needs its own support and the waste re-set to suit the deeper bowl. The shut-offs get replaced while the cabinet is open.
FIG. 04
A shower valve replaced behind tile
The valve is the part that fails and the tile is the part that hurts. Access is planned before anything is cut, and cut once.
FIG. 04
A pedestal basin in a small room
Pedestals hide nothing. The supplies and waste have to land within a few millimetres or the whole thing sits proud of the wall.
FIG. 01
A utility drain that kept backing up
Laundry waste carries lint and detergent, so it scales differently to a kitchen line. Jetting clears it properly where a cable only bores a hole through it.
FIG. 03
A leak found without opening the floor
Acoustic and thermal located it under the hall to within a few inches. One board lifted instead of five, which is most of what you are paying for.
About these photographs
Said plainly.
This is a demonstration site. The photographs above are generic interior and architectural images used to show the layout — they are not photographs of work carried out by a trading business, and they would be replaced by real job photography before any of this went live.
Dispatch
Something leaking right now?
A person answers, day or night. If water is moving, call — that is always faster than a form.
