I replaced the hot and cold spindles on the Zurn faucet at the drive-thru dump sink, which had been leaking. The issue was resolved after installing a Chicago hot spindle and a Chicago cold spindle. Additionally, I addressed a leak at the mop sink, which was still dripping after a previous inspection. The sink requires replacement, and I will use a 24x24 mop sink, along with a tube of liquid nails for the tile and a small amount of hydraulic concrete. The shift manager signed off on the work, and I ensured all tasks were completed to satisfaction.

On 7/27/26, I attended to a sink that was not draining properly. The sink, located in a compact area behind the sandwich prep counter, had water backing up and failing to drain completely. After running water for approximately three minutes, it became clear that a blockage was present. I removed the p-trap and pipe to access the drain more effectively. Despite multiple attempts using a small machine to run through the drain, I could only dislodge about 1/10th of a blue rag and some buildup. The resistance felt during these attempts indicated a stubborn blockage. Unfortunately, I was unable to clear the obstruction entirely. To resolve this issue, I will need to return with a drum auger equipped with a corkscrew retrieval head to fully clear the blockage.

On 7/27, I addressed a dripping issue with the dump sink behind the register. I removed the goose neck and replaced the worn o-rings.

Our team efficiently diagnosed and resolved the problem, ensuring the tenant's comfort and satisfaction. We communicated directly with the renter to understand their needs and provided a detailed report to the property management company.

Upon arrival, I consulted with the managers who were uncertain about the work order. I located the backflow device, a Zurn Wilkins 950XL, positioned in the grass to the right as you enter the parking lot. The device features a single flanged shutoff from the meter, a single shutoff on the outgoing side, and three test ports. The piping transitions from 2” to 1-1/2” and back to 2” within 8 feet, with a 90-degree bend in a box. To improve accessibility, I returned and adjusted the boxes, ensuring the entire backflow device is now within a single box for easy access.

On July 13, I addressed a drainage issue reported by Annie, the shift manager. The dump sink, located beside the vertical machine, was experiencing slow drainage and was also connected to a rinse sink.

I then tested the drainage by running water and found that it could now keep up with the faucet, allowing the sink to drain completely. The issue was successfully resolved, ensuring both sinks functioned properly.

On July 13, I successfully completed a comprehensive renovation for a three-compartment sink. The task began with the installation of a Touch & Spray (T&S) add-on faucet, ensuring a seamless integration with the existing plumbing. I meticulously rebuilt the back of the three-compartment sink to provide a complete pre-rinse sprayer, faucet, and soap dispenser setup. Each component was carefully calibrated to ensure optimal functionality and efficiency. Additionally, I addressed the mounting of the riser tube for the three-compartment faucet, ensuring it was securely attached to the wall. This involved precise alignment and secure fastening to maintain stability and durability. The final result was a fully operational and aesthetically pleasing three-compartment sink.

On 7/12/26, I addressed a broken 3-compartment sink faucet that detached from its riser tube. The add-on faucet was removed, leaving only the pre-rinse sprayer and soap dispenser functional. I identified the need for a T&S add-on faucet adapter to restore full functionality. On 7/13/26, I returned with the required adapter and successfully rebuilt the sink, ensuring the pre-rinse sprayer, faucet, and soap dispenser were fully operational.
