The Challenge: Water Leak Causing Basement Damage
Mark and Julia, homeowners in Salt Lake City, Utah, were facing a significant issue: water leaking into their basement through the sheetrock in a closet. Unsure of the leak’s origin, they noticed water damage spreading and called Valley Plumbing for expert leak detection and repair services.
The Solution: Comprehensive Leak Detection and Repairs
Upon inspection, the Valley Plumbing team identified the source of the leak—a malfunctioning toilet in the master bathroom and a failing tub/shower valve. The job required careful diagnostics, targeted repairs, and high-quality replacements to resolve the issues effectively.
Step 1: Toilet Leak Detection and Repair
- Initial Inspection: Pulled the master bathroom toilet to check the flange and piping. Confirmed the lines were in good condition.
- Repairs: Installed a repair flange, replaced the toilet with a Western Pottery elongated toilet, and reset it with a new wax ring and supply line.
- Final Touches: Caulked and tested the toilet, ensuring it was leak-free and functioning perfectly.
Step 2: Tub/Shower Valve Replacement
- Accessing the Valve: Carefully cut out sheetrock in the closet to reach the tub/shower valve.
- Replacement: Installed a new Moen valve and trim, ensuring long-lasting performance.
- Restoration: Replaced the sheetrock to minimize disruption and restore the area.
Final Testing and Cleanup
The team tested all installations to confirm proper functionality and no further leaks. The bathroom was left clean, and the fixtures were polished to perfection.
