The plumbing job addresses an ongoing issue with a leaking toilet. The service scope includes completely rebuilding the moving internal components of three standard toilets, specifically installing new fill valves and flush valves. Furthermore, the job requires a complete toilet reset and seal for the leaking unit, which involves lifting the toilet from the floor, replacing the wax ring, and properly reseating the fixture to guarantee a watertight connection to the drain pipe and prevent future water damage. As part of the standard procedure, the work incorporates a whole-house plumbing inspection and a final technician closeout checklist, with both the labor and the newly installed replacement parts being fully warrantied.
