    What were the steps you took before you decided they needed a brand new one?

    I have a couple of questions. Does your company charge a flat rate? and does your company charge a service fee? Thank you

    • @SmedleyPlumbing
      @SmedleyPlumbing  2 месяца назад

      Yes we are a flat rate company. Makes pricing simple for everyone regardless of the plumbers speed, organization, and skill level.
      We do also charge a service charge.

      Thank you! I'm just starting a plumbing business and have been searching for a way to streamline the process. Does your company use services like housecall pro etc. to speed up the process of giving out estimates, contracts and collecting payments.

    Don’t understand why that water would have not just passed right through the heat exchanger and out through the condensate trap?

    • @paulstevens5329
      @paulstevens5329 Год назад

      Or was it just a volume of water problem…

    • @SmedleyPlumbing
      @SmedleyPlumbing  Год назад

      Because the hose was placed in the intake pipe and not the exhaust pipe. The intake pipe terminates just into the cabinet of the tankless. And I'm sure the volume of water was pretty immense as well.
