When it comes to residential plumbing repair in Portland, OR, Cornel’s Plumbing is always up for the task.

In this blog post, we’ll delve into the details of this complex job, discussing the problems we encountered, the job site conditions, and the specific tasks we performed to ensure our customer’s satisfaction. If you’re facing any plumbing issues and need repair, replacement, installation, or maintenance contact us at Cornel’s Plumbing today!

Multiple Residential Plumbing Repair Needs

Our customer approached us with several plumbing needs. First and foremost, they wanted to have a new garbage disposal unit installed in their kitchen sink. Additionally, they requested that we inspect the laundry machine connections and address any issues there. Lastly, they sought the replacement of an aging basement toilet. Each of these tasks presented its own unique challenges and required a careful approach to ensure quality work.

Important Details

One of the key considerations when tackling this project was the job site conditions. Notably, the customer did not have an existing garbage disposal installed, but there was a switch and a direct wire connection already in place from the previous owner. However, the status of the electrical wiring was uncertain, and if it proved to be faulty, the customer would need to contact an electrician to address the issue. This highlighted the importance of coordinating with other professionals when necessary to ensure a safe and efficient plumbing repair.

Task 1: Kitchen Sink Disposal Installation

The installation of the new garbage disposal was the first task at hand. Our customer had purchased a new Insinkerator Disposal, which came with its dedicated electrical wire and switches. Our process involved disconnecting the drains, removing the existing basket strainer, cleaning the sink surface, installing the new basket strainer and disposal, and reworking all drains underneath. Thorough testing was conducted to check for leaks and ensure proper function. We also provided a 3-year warranty on all labor and materials, excluding connections to existing pipe materials/systems.

Task 2: Rework Laundry Sink Drains

After testing, we identified a leak issue stemming from both the basket strainer and the stainless steel tailpiece. To address this, we recommended replacing the basket strainer and eliminating the stainless steel tailpiece. Our team removed the existing trap and tailpiece, modified the ABS drain/trap to the correct location, and provided a new tailpiece and basket strainer. Post-replacement, we conducted thorough leak testing, and we also offered a 3-year warranty on labor and materials, excluding connections to existing pipe materials/system.

Task 3: Replace Basement Toilet

Finally, our technicians determined that the basement toilet was not mounted to the flange properly and was unstable. Moreover, corrosion had compromised the tank-to-bowl bolts, preventing safe tightening. We recommended replacing the toilet, a 12-year-old unit. This involved removing the old toilet, inspecting the flange, and installing a new toilet while ensuring proper stabilization and mounting. Afterward, we conducted leak testing and provided an impressive 5-year company warranty for the new toilet.
